OK, it's not a scale model in the traditional sense, but might make a welcome addition to the collection.

A friend sent this to me, quite interesting - but I think a good woodworker and a fret saw and some cheap plywood could do 99% as well. Still doesn't stop me wanting Monaco !

£150 for a bit of bent wood?

Was going to get my brother one of LeMans for his birthday but I'm afraid that he will dip out this year.

The track layouts are on the website - maybe you could make one with some plywood/veneer and some patience (fret saw?)

I could water-jet cut something like that in about 5 minutes. You could even have it out of 10" thick steel if you wanted.

This would be seriously good. Would you mind speaking offline about the options ?

Sure.

ETA, of course, would have to get permission from work, but can't see a problem if it's a one-off.
