Looking good, far better than my attempt with a vac formed body.

do you fancy having a go at an open top one later ?

[The_Blue_Dragon]

Well its a mate who is doing it. We are only doing the Thorpedo as its to launch my online shop

[The_Blue_Dragon]

Hi people,
Here is a photo of the complete body ready for painting (What a beast)

[Graham]

Looks good, is it a one off or will they be for sale ?

[The_Blue_Dragon]

The original was a 1/32nd pewter model.

How much ?


what chassis does it use?

[The_Blue_Dragon]

It will use an adjustable chassis called PCS 32.

The price is still to be decided, probably around £50 RTR Ive been told another website sells custom built cars for £100 RTR, and I think thats stupid.

Each car will come in a display case with a number from 1 to 10 and a certificate to saying what number it is etc and the hirtoty of the car

Stick me down for one. I have a small collection of circa 150 a mix of fly/scx/ninco/carrera/scalex and a few of the smaller brands...


I dont have a permenant layout but i do keep toying with the idea of making a wooden track or perhaps the ninco master track layout on a sheet of mdf..

could you do a chassis and a bare shell from the original pewter model as well, so I could have a bash at modifying it to open top like my original car


then i would have a nice racing set of the 2 cars






I know its not really the right starting point at the model is an sII but its a start

Best Forget the 2006 season then

Ok I have got afew of the road version on the way. Which will be a kit version, so you can make your own.

i dont know about prices yet. Apart from the RTR Thorpedo version is £100 +P&P and there is 6left

[The_Blue_Dragon]

If I did a kit version of the TVR tasmin (road version) would you prefer it if the kit came with the chassis? or just the shell?

[Graham]

For me with chassis, I'd only have to source one anyway

although an extra shell for me to cut the roof off would be usefull
