    if your son were willing to print further copies how much would it cost? And, can it be done in other colours?

      It's in prototype form at the moment, if you want a static model it's OK, but would need wheels added. Obviously the finish is 3D printed which I will be sanding and painting and adding detailing. I will ask him for a price and about colours.

        For the non slot car people who may be interested, a good source of wheels and tyres is Pendle Slot Racing

            Some better photos. Model was designed in CAD using photographs and dimensions found on this site. Grill/bonnet is over wide due to fitting motor in. It is still at prototype stage and will be modified as and when necessary to make it a useable slot car

              When dinky made model cars they were produced out of proportion wider than to scale so when looking down on the model it looked more realistic because in real life people would normally be looking at the real thing at eye level.
              Ben Caswell probably not the last word on anything here!!

                    Thanks for the interest. I'll post up details when the design is finalised.

                        That is incredible the best thing I have seen on this website,

                        Next is a berlineta and then sportster and 5exi.

                        it's amazing what you can do with technology.

                          I think you may have found a slot in the market for a model Marlin Wonderful stuff. Now where is my letter to Santa?
