Is he still popping out bodies?

 

If so, does he have a web site? Facebook page?

 

Thanks.

Goggled Truescale. Nothing other than messages that look like his website got hijacked and is no longer available.

It appears they have faded into the digital mist. Too bad. He made quality, interesting stuff.

Other than a Lotus 30, nothing in particular for the moment.

Truescale has been gone for quite a while now.

I wish I had one, too! Have a fair number of F1s but not that one, sorry.

Don, we do know the Lotus 30 is not a F1. :crazy:
 
Which one, Jim? Seems to have been a popular subject back in the day.
Here are a few examples of Lotus 30s.
I am still looking for the Lotus 30 made by Shark.
 
PS: Victor and his bodies bodies are great. They are as good as the originals IMO. I know he is making a limited amount of bodies at this time.

Stay tuned, Jim.

Victor did make some great bodies; it's too bad they're nt longer in production. JK Products Retro bodies are pretty good and the Betta line of bodies are very good, too. NEAN and OLEG also make excellent Retro bodies. Red Fox makes a pretty decent 917 body.

Martin - I was thinking Lotus 33 which is an F1. Sorry for the confusion...
