Strombecker indy Watson (resin)

Postby btaylor » Mon Feb 22, 2016 6:28 am

Finally finished this little project. Its been a slow go with all the health issues, but here it is. I think it came out nice, and runs great!
I used a set of Cobra wheels and a combo of Shotgun dave and PG tires. The body is one of my resin castings, the chassis is a plastic adjustable unit cut down, and its powered by a BWA slimcan.Image

Taking baby steps right now, still getting used to the new glasses. But I am feeling a lot better each day. Hope to be able to do more as time goes on. Thanks for the Kudos on this one, I really liked it myself.

That came out really nice, Bob. I like the details and the decaling on it. Makes me wish I had time to build out a car or two for the 100 years of Indy Anniversary proxy.

Glad you're back to building cars.....................But...............Dave's gotten just a little bit ahead of you since December.............................. :o

Looks great and you haven't lost your "touch". As to the heath thing I can sympathize, had a minor setback over the weekend but mostly back to normal now. Do what the Doc (and your wife) say and....... Keep chugging along, buddy!

That is my favourite Indy roadster of all time, and an awesome model of it. Looks like you got it done with plenty of time for the proxy, eh?

Good to hear you are feeling better,

Cheers,
