Tyrrell 008 1/12 scratch

Post by cevert »

Hi everybody. I started a new project Tarrell 008. The model will be hand made from plastic plates bent as needed in warm water to final shapes. It is mainly the cockpit and the engine cover. An important help for me is the book Nomoken ... 008, which I bought at HLJ. Let me show you a few pictures of the start of construction on FB.

Yes both 1mm and 2mm and 0,5mm. The cockpit is tapered in some places after being shaped 2mm. Some chassis designs need to be stacked to achieve different levels. I am pleased by your interest.

Many years ago, I walked up to this car in Long Beach and was amazed how 'thin' the chassis was minus the upper cowling. I've loved it ever since. Don't really care how fast it was or who drove it. It's just a cool shape like the 012 cars. I just ordered the nomoken book. Good luck, you seem to be well on your way!
