Speaking of McLarens...

Postby Dogsbody » Wed Oct 17, 2018 6:23 pm

Sort of piggybacking the Thunderslot post in the other board, here's a slot car version of a favorite 1:1 car of mine that came today. Bruce McLaren's personal road car, an M6GT. I was lucky enough to see the real deal back in '02 at the Harry Mathews Collection in Arvada, CO back when he tried to have one McLaren from every race series. This one is 20 of 25, a beautiful resin body with PE detail and a metal chassis - Made by MoreThanSlot out of Spain.

It might get some parade laps at best.

Very cool. I had forgotten about this car until I recently saw the "McLaren" documentary. I'd buy one in slot car form if it were kept under $100.

Love the car...what a great kit! I have always considered kitbashing the 1/25 kit.
Resin or maybe a 3D scan?????

One of my favorite cars but very hard to find in 1/32
I'd be running this one at 10volts and solo
I had to 3D print one to finally get one in my garage
Enjoy the beauty

Cheers
