Love the 2 big Healeys.........................keep em coming Roger

Chaindrive - Tony, Thanks
I have now put the Big scale version of the Healey's in their own covered cabinet a perspex box on a black base - now have to paint the coreflute and timber that I will use to stage them with other Austin Healey regalia - badges and a background photo.
Another work in progress.!

They will be above an American Corvette Garage scene with road and race Corvette's a Tow Truck a Tyre Truck and garage workshop tools and equipment including Hoists with cars on - here is an early attempt at it.
Again need a background scene of an old garage with signs etc..
Yet another work in progress. !!

The components - base with Snap-on Hoists and some coreflute, and the two [ so far ] sets of tools.

Early idea with vehicles in place but no tools - and need some mechanics.

The perspex Box cover then slips over the top of the base with the garage hoist bases and the coreflute - painted.

There were quite a few NZ Drivers who raced them so it seems appropriate they should appear on here.

Note from the photographer ;

Here's another shot of the rear of the car showing the Colour Me Gone.
That car has a hard life. "

Here are the two photos and at the end will acknowledge to photographer who owned the Slot car

Thanks to Milan Fistonic who contributes great photos to this Forum and many Facebook Pages - Milan is having issues with his TRS access at the moment.

I had that slot car body, dropped on a home made sidewinder chassis - think I bought it from Martins. My paint job was even worse!
