Hello you guys.
Sorry I didn't post a wip on this one but it was a pretty full-on build over the last 4-5 months.
The basis was the Revell E Type but I actually only used about 1/2 the kit.
The whole rear end, roof and screen are my own scratch work, as is virtually everything under the bonnet including the engine/chassis frames. I also cast my own wheels, engine parts, carbs, etc, scratch made the dashboard, steering wheel and centre tunnel. Seats and doors trimmed in leather. Cast my own windscreen wipers, door mirror - goodness knows what else...
Everything was weathered and aged to match the real car which I (luckily) have access to.
I've done my best to recreate the real car in miniature.
The model is shortly off to the owner of the actual car which is one of the famous 'Cunningham three' semi-lightweights.
All great fun.
Roy.
