Hi, forgive me speaking English.
I have just joined the forum. I didn't know it existed!

I make master patterns for mainly 1/32nd scale slot cars.
I also have a wooden track in my son's roof space. I might get some cars fully built!
I have been a modelmaker for over 40 years.

I will show my current work if that is OK with the moderators.

Regards,
Martin

Hello

EDIT: I saw that Peter has fixed that meanwhile.

Hi Roland,
yes this is the same Hesketh. I got the photo-etch fret sample today and have ordered the production items. The white metal parts are being done.

Martin

Are they all sold by pre-order yet ?

Roland

Hi

Steve Francis told me that someone is going to build a XJ13 last friday, and sent me the picture.
Very nice, now I can get informations direct.

It looks very good.

regards
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
he told me he had spoken to some people from Germany about the model, so it's good to speak directly.
I will be putting more pictures on here as the model progresses.
Thankyou for your interest.

Martin

Hi Martin
Is there somethink new with that nice XJ13.
I saw Proto will also build one.
http://www.proto-slot-kit.com/psk_CB070.html?PHPSESSID=e393c724523d9ea9ad80466ec06dc423
But Proto Kits are often not really in scale.
Would be nice to hear somethink from your XJ13

regards
Matthias

Hi matthias,
I am working on the XJ 13 at present and hope to get it produce before Christmas.
It is the REAL XJ 13, not the rebuilt show car, so is not the same as Proto Kits one. It is also being made with the help of Neville Swales who is making a perfect full sized replica, so it will be very accurate. He has sent me pictures of the original car which have never been published.

Doing masters for other peoples' models has been keeping me very busy>

Thankyou for your continued interest. I will let you know when my model is due to be released.

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin

That sounds very interesting.
The picture you showed in the beginning of this tread already look good.

It would be nice to hear from you again.

regards
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I am working on the cockpit and base at present. As you know the cockpit on my model is fully detailed as I am making the kit to take the Penelope Pitlane sidewinder chassis. The engine detail is also almost complete as the motor can be hidden beneath it.

The bodies will be sold painted only, because the windscreen frame is cast in white metal for strength and then glued in and blended here, so as there was only one car and it was green, I will do the blending, filling and painting.

R-T-R versions will also be available from time to time.

Cheers,
Martin
