What can you say about a collection like that. Wish it were mine. Supreme model building.

Love it.

Where do you get the tyres, or do you make them as well.

The tyres are actually solid resin.

The basic shape was taken from a Revell E Type tyre to make a first 'rough'.

All the outer detail was sanded off to make smooth walls and the tread was tidied up.

After that, a rubber mould was made and resin tyres cast. They are painted using Tamiya rubber black - a very good 'real rubber' look.

Each tyre has a flat spot filed onto the tread to replicate where the car is standing. I t also stops the model rolling away!

BTW..... Many thanks you guys for all the kind comments.

I might start a 1/8 Short-nose D Type soon, or a Lightweight E Type. (I love Jaguars!)
