Clever boys the Stantons !
What an era.......
Pure Nostalgia.
Tin tops are ok too !
........................And the two together.................
Guys..... This is a lookalike of the car I pedalled late 80s,Early 90s. A sister car to the Hecker/Macgregor/Sullivan/Coory car (Red #327). It seemed to vanish into the ether ! Does anyone know it's present location ?
Great stuff. How about a step by step build series, with pics, of just one model?
Thanks ERC.............The only one I have WIP pics of is the Stanton. Might give you an idea. The Lycoming was built by the same method.

Amazing Guys, particularly as all famous NZ carsOriginally Posted by chaindrive

The Lycoming uses the same method of formers and sheet covering !
Fantastic! What is the sheet covering material? I really admire model makers and there are so many details I am sure many would love to know. The wheels for example on all your models are exceptionally well done - an aspect that lets down many models.
As a youngster, I treasured the book by Rex Hays, but never graduated beyond commercial kits.
ERC..... the covering is sheet styrene plastc available from hobby shops. Various thickness for different jobs. Some wheels are after market of the webb. Others I have modified using various bits from the spares box It's a very rewarding hobby if ya can't afford the real thing.....lol................................Tony
Tony, these are just fantastic.
Wheels are not the best..............Too chrome. Some time i'll remove and repaint silver. !!!!!!..........replacement pic

One of my all time favourite cars. I doubt your box of bits would ever yield 100% accurate wire wheels for that car! Send me a PM with your address and I may be able to post you a few left over bits and pieces you may find useful.Just One More............Aston Martin DB3s
....................and Vanwall (sans windscreen!)
I know its not in the same league as these other models
But here is a photo of the James Bond, Aston Martin DB5 Model, that I am building up
Also a photo of the wire wheels that I had made on a 3D printer .Markson

Hi Markson,...........that is absolutely brilliant and those wheels are magnificent. What scale is that ? There would be a big market for those wheels. The ones on the DB3 were after market wheels but not in the same league as yours !
