    Help with painting a custom TVR Tasmin 1/32 slotcar

    Hi people,

    Years ago I had 10 custom TVR Tasmin resin bodies made in 1/32 scale but as I'm disabled I'm no good with my hands so I never managed to paint them. I sold 8 and kept 2 for myself but at the moment only 1 of them has a chassis.

    The car is based on a race car my stepdad helped build called "Thorpedo" which is a TVR Tuscan chassis with a TVR Tasmin body and a 6.6ltr Chevy engine. Here is a picture

    Here is a photo of the body I had made, its made in some sort of resin. I have a chassis but it is not mounted so needs mounting too. I'm not bothered about an interior, the side exhaust, front splitter and spoiler are separate parts

    If anyone can help me get it looking like the original that would be great and I'd be happy to give the spare body to who ever helps me. And/or I would add a thankyou on my website www.dans-garage.co.uk

      Hi Dan,

      I've had a look at your website........... Very impressed with your slot car track matey.

      I'm sure you'll find someone on here will take on the TVR for you .............. At a push, if you get no takers I'll do it. But there are loads of people on here with far more skill than me........... I'll send you my details through your website with my email address, if you get no takers by the end of the month drop me a line.

                  Thats one hell of a paint job going on there, it's going to be a bitch to paint.

                  Is there a decal set with it ?.
