Hi guys and gals,
I reckon I'll have my 1st nova model ready for Traxx - the idea being that if you want one I take pics of yer car and a small deposit there and then.
I'll have an actual model with me (hopefully I can get there - found out I move into my brand new house on 5th Sept :x :D ) - and...
I think I can make the models remote controlled! So you can race them!
:D :D :D :D :D :D
For those new to this project - I'm making a scale model of the nova - bigger than 1:18 scale (average die cast model size) and with the help of interchangeable panels you can customise it to look like your own car.
The models are at present external parts only (no interiors) however that will change in 2004 once the prototypes are up and running...
Should be casting the 1st shells in the next few weeks - just need some more modelling material...
Here's some pics to date...its still in the clay stages and the "wheels" are just to hold it up - will nbe taking a cast, smoothing the shell so theres no bumps and adding all the fine details then. the shells dimensionally correct now and the windows are in correct places - just need to add the 1/4 panel in the front.
I should be able to make mk1 and mk2's (notice the front lights and bumpers are missing) - also plan to stick led's in the front and rear so you can have working lights...
