Hi Chris,

 

What an excellent field of gorgeous race cars!

 

Did you construct this buffet of vehicles please?

 

Thanks for sharing, Chris.

Hi Chris,

 

All made by me !!

 

With the incredible craftsmanship that I see in the photos - I deduced as much!

 

Did the bodies start out as clear plastic or are they made from plastic model kits please?

 

Please pardon me for asking all these questions - I just admire your craftsmanship and I'm inspired with the attention to detail that you put into your build - chassis' included!

 

Thanks Chris.

Hello Ernie, the March 717 (light blue) and the Lola T163 (orange) are Lexan bodies from Truescale,.....all the other bodies  are injection molded plastic from Aurora, Strombecker, Slot-it, Revell/Monogram, etc.......most all run on scratchbuilt chassis.
