Here is a look at the Ferrari 156 Shark-nose I am working on. I'm waiting on decals from Pattos. The BRM P57 this is the first draft. I am going to use the sane exhaust as the Ferrari they will be held on like the slimline Mclaren's exhaust. The real cars exhaust look basically the same. I will be using the BRM P57 as a starting point for a Lotus 24. the BRMs ran from 62 till 65 and I have found Green, Red and baby blue versions that ran. More decals from Patto's





I have to remake the BRM P57's mold. I have a 1/43rd Vanwall I'm going to shrink to slim-line size but plan on pulling a mold after 10-15% to piece together a standard TJET version. After the Vanwall it will be a Porsche 804. The Lotus 18 and Porsche 718 are going on hold till I find a cheaper priced 1/43 scale to start with. I might be able to work the rear end of one of my Indys for the Lotus 18

Roger - I've always loved your work and these are just fantastic! Really awesome seeing these for the T-Jets!

I finished up the BRM P57 mold and I am happy with it. Here is one from 62 that Gram Hill drove and one from 65 that L.Bianchi drove.







I need to order some roundels and numbers from Pattos. They need to be a little larger and I need white numbers badly. That make 3 on my list, however I am going to redo the Ferrari 156 mod I has a couple thin spots I want to get rid of.

Roger,
Great to see your back at it and the results of your work!
Keep on Racing

Great to hear from you Bill :) What happened to Asylum Racing, Darn I can't remember his name was it Greg?

Here is a first look at the Lotus 24. I need to work on the exhaust, I need to find some good pictures. I haven't been able to find a good shot of what's inside the cowling on the rear end. The exhaust is just setting in the model. Not sure if I am going to put the cutouts on the engine upper cowling or make decals. There are several different versions. I may just make two different inside molds for the different cutouts







I should finish up the inside mold the week and the exhausts

Left on my early 60s list are

Porsche 804/718/787
Brabham BT3
LolA mK4
Emeryson-Climax 61
De Tomaso

Not sure what Porsche I'm going to do yet

Asylum was Glen Oswald and I haven't from Glen in a while. His work was some of the best ever.

Boy did he do fantastic work he was in a class all his own. I hope he is doing OK. I knew his wife was battling cancer. I do miss him

Those are all super!

Here is the Lotus 24 done up and the Ferrari sharknose 156. Next time I will order 1/43 Ferrari decals at 85-90%. They are just a little large. I made the decals for the Lotus 24. I made 3 different type of cowling screens. I'll have another one done tomorrow.

Thanks for the compliments I never thought about Balsa Wood. I might have to look into it for the lotus 18 I would like to do.

Here is a second Lotus 24 that has different engine cowling screens

Those really turned out awesome!!!

Those are REALLY cool!
:text-bravo:

You are building some great looking cars!
