quicky posterboard modle of build
While going over different drawings on changing the rear of my build I have built up a scale modle of my chassis with a skin on it , the front is very
rough as its hard to do complex curves in flat paper, and I have not done the rear wings yet, I plan to build a couple of different styles and try
them on it this weekend. I will post a couple of pics of them for comparison and comments- good or bad are both welcome.

Add
some clamshell fronts and teardrop rears and you've got a pretty cool looking "classic" design. I like it!

I think the nose is fine, you just have to imagine it with a curved chrome grille
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Perhaps if the grill is placed straight vertical....perhaps.
Two curves meeting under an angle other than 90° (if you know what i mean)will allways look a bit strange.

I am stuck between two looks for the front -first is like the marlin sportster aka detroit 1930's hotrod rad shroud and the second is the
masarati front style of their lemans racers of the 40s
- added a rear wing to show the ass a bit better --its roughly done but gives a visual--outside of the wing should be curved into a drop of about 3
scale inches to round things off a bit.

Dale, as soon as I saw the model, I thought of this, it just seemed to match hand and glove

Thats one of my picks as well-- this is the most beautiful car I think I have seen and I have taken some styling from it--as well as the wheelbase,
track and power to weight if I work it right. Maserati 8ctf 1939 indy 500 winner. Unfortunatly a single seater and I require 2, but it has a very
nice front.

Rorty, being from Canada I have never heard the term "Very Blue Peter" I am guessing its good but have never heard it before.

Sticky backed plastic.
Are you using paper for the bodywork then? It looks like a quick alternative. I like the shape of the old cars like the Bugatis and the old Formula
1 like Vanwall etc but I think they look better in single rather than 2 seater configuration.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Sorry, I forgot not everyone on here has grown up watching Blue Peter. It's a British institution; a kids program where the hosts would often
make everyday items from bits of card, toilet roll tubes and egg cartons etc. Excellent stuff.
I believe they also coined the phrase "here's one I prepared earlier".
Cheers, Rorty.

Making the grille a bit more vertical would give you a nice Bugatti look. Otherwise, I like the look of the twin narrow grilles of the original (pre
war?) BMW 320.

Very nice design. I don't think I could come anywhere near that in paper, or anything else for that matter.
