Re: 1/32 scale Roadster

if your son were willing to print further copies how much would it cost? And, can it be done in other colours?

Re: 1/32 scale Roadster

It's in prototype form at the moment, if you want a static model it's OK, but would need wheels added. Obviously the finish is 3D printed which I will be sanding and painting and adding detailing. I will ask him for a price and about colours.

For the non slot car people who may be interested, a good source of wheels and tyres is Pendle Slot Racing

That's where he got the wheels and inserts

Some better photos. Model was designed in CAD using photographs and dimensions found on this site. Grill/bonnet is over wide due to fitting motor in. It is still at prototype stage and will be modified as and when necessary to make it a useable slot car

When dinky made model cars they were produced out of proportion wider than to scale so when looking down on the model it looked more realistic because in real life people would normally be looking at the real thing at eye level.

I think you may have found a slot in the market for a model Marlin Wonderful stuff. Now where is my letter to Santa?
