Some inserts and decals make a difference

 

Have to agree, looks more purposeful John!

 

Funny you posted this today as I finally managed to get some on to mine just last night... B)

(had to grind off the 260Z badges to get the side stripes sitting flat)

 

Also I'd originally planned to do the flares black. Undecided now...??

Looks great, we need to do a group photo with Viv's build included

 

Is the Resin-head club meeting this weekend? - I'll bring it along B)

 

Ok I'm over it now :)... so here are my last pics. Will leave the flares white on this one but have a few different ideas for the next 240 build.

 

edit - realised all my imageshack images have disappeared. adding these for my own reference here.

Thanks for all the great comments guys. They really help'd with the motivation... & huge thanks to John aka Munter , and Viv for their advice and mad casting skills. I've really enjoyed my first resin build and It's really surprised me how much. Yep hooked.

 

ok - this one's put to bed. What next???

Hey mopar, it was a product called Bare Metal Foil. Comes in a range of colours & sheens & is apparently real metal - real thin. It's on an adhesive backing and so you cut & stick.

I'd borrowed a bit off a friend thinking it was going to be chrome, but he only had aluminium, which I think possibly worked better. - i.e not so reflective.

Also used it behind the clear headlights and on the taillights with clear red over top.

I am sure that the flares are just a custom accessory by pat

but it sure looks good though he done a very nice job on them

maybe we should look at running a datsun 260z class in the club

what do you think munter

Holdens rule the rest just drool

 

slot cars are my drug,

Hi DM - no I'm pretty sure that BRE only ran 240Z sans any flares.

I used the scalextric 260 body and only added flares to make it fit the chassis I had. (Slot.it GT40)

There is a post on the interweb somewhere where a guy shortened the Scaly 260Z's rear end to get a more accurate 240.

tail lights etc are different too.

 

But in the words of Tenacious D "it's just a tribute" B)

The silver lines do look nice though.

Sorry to drag this thread out of the woodwork but I actually got down to my bench today. John , I have your resin body and a Slot It HRS chassis and when I put the two together the guide seems to be too far forward. Is There only one type of HRS chassis?

I used the first version, there is a second version.

On my build the guide placement was borderline...would it work? or wouldn't it work? It did but not by much.

 

I did carve the body inner surface and maybe took an edge off the guide.

Slotcars are my preferred reality
