Popular Post Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted July 29, 2018 Popular Post Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Tonight's update. Rear wheel arches have now stuck down and the "spare wheel" recess made and filled. Hope to get some paint on tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
