[pfuetze]

Mini for Lloyd´s Little Monte proxy race finished.
same chassis as my other Minis. Some motor, Ranch crown (found in the left over box, along with aluminium wheels. 3D printed Mini lite inserts.
son changed the graphics on the Monte Carlo decal from number?? to #7 and to the correct year
also did the number plate decal in the correct font
thanks also goes to Dusan in Hamburg for casting the extra head lights.
added some 5g lead in the pocket in front of the motor for this race. increased the total to a 35g. runs just fine on the Desmo now.
looking forward to the race!

I love the little guys. That is a great job. I have done a quite a few of these and I have a pile of resin bodies waiting and I can only hope they come out close to how well yours have. I particularly like that yellow slant back. Your paintwork is excellent. I did 3 of those great little Mini Utes a few years back, and they are more fun to pull out and run than most of my other cars. Did the wheels on the green one come from an old SCX Abarth?

thanks guys!

the wheels on the green Mini are 3D printed from shapeways, waytoomuchintothis!
My design, same size size as Marchon Jeep wheels (H0 size).
perfect for a 1/43rd Mini.

the Minis now run really good on the wood track, not the fastest but for sure among the cars that will give the most fun on the track!
