For starters, here's the plan

Where did you get the cut-away drawing? My slot car room is covered in these.

Here is the box made with chopsticks Obéché.

I still have the same method of construction.

The two black lines are 1 mm plywood glued between the wooden sticks, they will use it to achieve symmetry of the car.
 


I found the cut-away here

This website has interesting stuff with race car blueprints. The-Blueprints.com

[Regis4446]

This has stages of development, the body weighs 44g

Beautiful work as always Régis... 

 

Those look kind of big for chopsticks!

Thought all the entries to the Got Wood Proxy were out of this world, but seeing this Ferrari appear from the bare wood is just WOW!!

[Regis4446]

Thank you friends




The idea is to cover the central portion of the auto sheet aluminum of 0.3mm thickness.

So this morning out of bed, I did a quick test to see if this is possible.

The tool is brief and to the rest of my remaining sheet and brush handle to push the plate, this is what happens.

It's not perfect but it is feasible, the parts will be rebuilt as soon as I get back the sheet

Crap that's neat!  Doing the wing too?
Never understood the desire to carve wood for a slot car until I built the Maserati 250. But, after..... learned its a great aspect of this hobby.
Carving the body out of wood gives the project soul.

Very nice work Régis, very nice.
Hope you do a brass rod chassis instead of the normal pan.
Jail door chassis are way cooler!

[Racer36]

Amazing work. I have trouble sharpening a pencil with a knife.

[Regis4446]

thank you friends

I stuck the sheet on the body, I still had 4 plates stick.

And then I'll think for a frame Jail door, to please was Jairus, and me.

[Jairus]

This project wood make a great article for the magazine Régis. I am serious!

[don.siegel]

This project wood make  

 

Good pun Jairus! 

 

And if Régis wants to write the article, or just do notes in French, be glad to translate it into English...

 

Don 

[Regis4446]

OK, it is now necessary for me to finish the car.

Don thank you for your proposal, I'll probably need you for translation

[dc-65x]

I guess that means you'll have to stop posting the cars progress here. I was told nobody wanted to see things in "the magazine" that were already posted online.

[Don Weaver]

NO! NO! NO!  Post away please.....

[n.elmholt]

It would be nice to use this body for a master for Vacformed og Grp Bodies  - any chances ??

I had not thought of that, I will continue the photos on Slot blog,

If Rick has written is true, I will not write articles.


Niels Sorry, I will not make a master

[dc-65x]

Hi Régis,

 

I chose to continue posting with my friends here on Slotblog too. If I was a faster builder perhaps I could do both but I can't,  I'm such a SLOW builder!

[don.siegel]

Ah, but Rick, you actually finish your projects, which in my eyes makes you a fast builder! 

 

Looking at my pile of unfinished projects, I can only admire your speed... 

 

And I think that Régis' car, like a lot of your projects, would still make good magazine articles...

Hi Don

 

I agree, Régis' projects are beyond amazing!
