2 Carrera Porsche's and a Scaley Lotus 7
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 7:13 amThese have actually been done awhile I just hadn't gotten around to posting the pics.
The great thing about these 3 cars is that they were had for $35 total. $10 each for the Carrera and $15 for the Louts. All paint and decals were from things I had laying around.
First up is the Carrera GT which started life as a black street car. This is actually my Dad's car and he said he wanted it to look like a race car. So I thought what a person do to convert their Carrera into a club racer?? I pulled out the passenger seat, added a spoiler to the rear, cut most of the dash out, added the gear shift, and of course gave Joe cool a helmet. I wasn't crazy about the decals but Dad loved it so it's all good.
2nd is the Lotus 7 or Caterham (I really should research and see what the difference is, aside from the front fender that is). This started out as the red/silver street car and was missing 1 head light and 1 tail light. Again to my slot box-o-crap and I was able to get those replaced... a little paint a few decals and...
and Finally... If you seen any of my repaints you know I don't go very long with pulling out the Tamiya TS-12 so...
This started out as the Cam2 (or whatever) car. I think the Jager scheme works for this car. Of course I think the Jager scheme works for all cars so... :D
Anywho, thanks for looking. I hope you like what ya' see.
