What's on your bench right now? [1/43]

​

building the roll cage - not my favourite work, i have to say ...
new Mini chassis with ball bearings and new type of tyres with rounded sidewall :D

[BARC 1]

That looks like it will be very fast. Those tires look very familiar to me. I may have used the same master to cast mine. I am sending along 10 pairs for prizes in your Proxy.

[pfuetze]

the masters for these tires have been printed in frosted ultra detail material by shapeways. CarGo casted these tires for me (and i think will make them available for everyone who is asking). I like the look way better the old ones which where casted from Marchon Jeep H0 wheels with flat sidewalls.
The Mini is not that fast, i´m still searching for the best motor/gearing combination.
The ball bearings and the 2.38mm axles hopefully will make changing gears a little easier. Still, i will have to drill out H0 gears, due to size, the Mini wheels are 11mm

I really like those modifed stockers, and as you know I hope to do one soon.

I would also like to try one in 1/43 scale

Cheers

You had me worried for a minute when I saw the magnets Peter, then I remembered that the Desmo has copper tape!

Regards, Lloyd.

[pfuetze]

Thank you.
So I will copy my Minichamps one. I want to build the complete line - Aston, Audi R8, Mercedes CLK and CLR, Nissan, Saleen, Venturi, Lister, Marcos etc.etc. The only one I am sadly not able to find is the Mosler.
Mostly I am looking forward to building the Panoz Spyder. It had been a lot of fun in 32nd scale to build a front driven chassis, and now in 43rd scale it will be a thrill. Fortunately I have really small motors.

Roland you have been busy. The track looks nice and I like that you left an oval option.

Aki. How are the tires working out for you?

I have been building a couple of 132 proxy racers, and built my first brass chassis in over a decade. I may do a change up on a chassis and try submitting a brass 143 one. Maybe change out the Carrera GT3 Porsche.

Well done guys
