Popular Post Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted July 29, 2018 Popular Post Posted July 29, 2018 After building 2 models of my Westfield, the first a conversion of Tamiyas Lotus 7 and a hot wheels Caterham, I have now started a Scalextric Caterham. Bought at the Silverstone Classic for a tenner I've got nothing to lose. First job is to strip it into it's component parts, then sand the louvres from the bonnet and cut the 3 style lines in. The rear wheel arches next with a piece of plastic card added to form the correct shape. 10 Quote
