I'm getting under way with my latest project.
The Aston Martin DBR1.
The body will be vac formed over a hand made buck, I'm making the engine in resin - casting my own parts and everything else will be made of a mix of brass tube/section, sheet, and plasticard.
I'll be making my own wire wheels too...
So far, the main body buck has been made and is currently at a vac formers to get some shell parts done. Hopefully I'll have some body parts back next week.
The engine is being made by completely re-shaping many of the parts from the Eaglemoss DB5 part work engine.
The head is re shaped, completely new camshaft covers, twin distributors, triple Weber carbs, exhaust, all ancillaries - all scratch made.
I'll post piccies as I move along.
You'll notice I'm making two engines.
One will be a stand-alone piece.
Roy.
