Hello, Thomas and Claus!
@Thomas regarding wood versus resin: I simply like working with wood better!
After having made a number of resin slush castings, I find that I do not have a good hand with this.
The shells never turn out as light and strong as my wooden bodies.
This is, of course, very personal. I realize, that for many of us, it is the other way around!
Also, the resin is pretty nasty stuff, I rather inhale wood dust than resin dust, if I have a choice...
@Claus: Just like you, I prefer the models to be right scaled. A small car should definitely look small and large cars look big...
I really do my best to get them right! But nobody is perfect...
I have not made any silicone molds from these cars, see above!
For the moment there is nothing new on the workbench, but there is always an everchanging list of cars waiting to be made...
I searched all around for a livery that would show up the beautiful shape of the streamliner.
I finally decided on Frank Baptista's white and blue car., that he raced in the USA.
This may not be one of the more well-known drivers but the car looks really good!
With PCS wire wheels, Ortmanns and an Immense driver, it turns out like this.
The simple wooden chassis, made of lollipop sticks works very well.

Schnitzer/Carver
