So I find myself Delaying the Capri I was doing for one chap, because he suddenly wants a V-16 BRM!
Here's both of them. This was taken at about 2 pm. yesterday. At 12-30 I was still trying to find a suitable photo-copier to do my drawings to size. I can still get a wiggle on when I want to! Today, at 2pm., it's finish-shaped, but needs all the details done, like a LOT of louvres.
Of course I've also been busy on my Bloody Mary model, but have had to stop to do these other shells.
And because I can never get anyone interested in my kind of cars, I may just have to make these for myself in the hope that when someone sees them done they'll want to produce a few as shells.
These in particular:-
My Trident Venturer V6
or
the beautiful Morgan SLR
or
the simply stunning Rejo-Climax, a car which makes even the pretty Lola Mk 1 look like a pram!
There are so many others too, but these'll do for the time being.
The shells are looking great, Martin. Good to hear you are keeping busy and still making a mighty recovery. I have to admit that for all their shortcomings I still love Capri's...a wide boy's car for sure without much class...but sweet all the same. That Rejo-Climax is something else...what a beaut!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Iain. Yep, a well looked after Capri is still a good looking car and a Mk 2 Cortina platform is an entertaining car to drive. I loved my Cortina GT! You know you are the only person I know who has ever felt the same way about the Rejo as I do!! It's the artist's eye for sure.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that Morgan before but what a stunning car!
ReplyDeletePhil, you are far from being the only one. I phoned a Morgan dealer yesterday to start my search for a real SLR and the guy had no idea what I was talking about! I think if you represent such an important and iconic marque, you should know of what you speak! BTW, I found a real one not too far away. Hope to be measuring it soon.
