1971 Roadrunner RC 1/10 scale





Well, the blog is not 100% dead just yet!
I thought I would just throw in a few pictures of one of my lates projects, a 1/10 scale RC model of my Roadrunner. Since nobody makes a 1971 RR bodyset I made one myself.
This would also be a great excuse to build a vacuum forming machine, so I started with just that. After that I purchased a 1970 Barracuda bodyset, cast a plaster mould in it, from which I then modelled a 71 RR body. I then vac-formed a bodyset from .75mm Vivak clear plastic and painted it. The bodyset sits on a Tamiya RWD chassis with a live rear axle just like the real thing.
You can check out the build process on www.tamiyaclub.com Type "Plymouth" under the seach tab and the galleries will pop up!
Enjoy!
