Will have to get mine done now
Did he have spots on at any stage?

Cowley Wed May 02, 2012 12:18 am

Would you like some of the Cowley Decal Cº smaller 'Surefire Spark Plugs' decals as well then Noel? I'll drop you a PM. Wink

I'm not sure about the spots on the 1000 Lakes Noel, but I have photos of him on the RAC with them on. That was the only other time Harri used C96 KOG and it was in virtually the same livery. Leave your 1000 Lakes / lamp pod query with me for a bit and I'll look into it for you.

That's another beauty, David.

Cowley Wed May 02, 2012 11:55 am

Thank you Ted - most kind! Wink

Very good Noel, 'stage' on a rally lol! Laughing

You will be pleased to know that I managed to 'lift' the following image from a YouTube video report from the 1986 1000 Lakes Rally, Noel - hence the poor quality image! Very Happy

Evidence indeed that the car was fitted with a black lamp pod during the event...

Between 6.32 and 6.35 on the timer, and you can see it for yourself > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL4IW4_y3lU

Hope that helps! Wink

Superb build David. The attention to detail is excellent.

143models.com Wed May 02, 2012 6:49 pm

Great will have to make a start.
Now would you happen to know the photographer that snapped a pic over that jump? Laughing

Any jump in particular Noel lol? Laughing

Hi David,

Lovely work there, makes for a strikingly different model. Top stuff! I echo the comments in the previous posts. Well done that man! Very Happy

Cheers, Steve

that is just a great build i love it------------------well done

Cowley Tue May 08, 2012 12:15 pm

A somewhat belated many thanks Steve & George - much appreciated. Wink

My latest project is progressing rather slowly at the moment, however I should be able to get some work done on it this evening. All of the detail paintwork has now been completed, lights fitted, glass fitted, etc but just as I was about to start decalling it, I realised that it shouldn't actually have any front side indicators fitted! Crying or Very sad

I therefore need to file them off, touch up the paint, and then let them dry before I can finish the decal work.

More to follow as and when, but hopefully in the next couple of days... Wink

Hampton Caught Tue May 08, 2012 1:21 pm

So might that be a rallycross project then with no indicators, David?

Have finished two projects over the Bank Holiday myself, a series one Rover 3500 V8S in Triton green (a Heller 1/43 kit) and a Sherpa van for my folks' 50th wedding annversary. I've decaled it up with photos from their wedding and more recently too Very Happy

. Next up is my Ternco 6R4: was removing the lower tailgate spoiler last night before I finish painting and start decalling! Cool

Cheers, Steve

Cowley Tue May 08, 2012 1:54 pm

Sorry to disappoint you Steve, but it's not a rallycross 6R4 mate! Crying or Very sad

I'm actually building up my white bodyshell (above!) into David Llewellin's 1986 Circuit of Ireland Rally winner C996 LCA, with decals from an obsolete RPM resin kit, similar to Dave's 1986 National Breakdown Rally model - which also used RPM decals.

I do however have another FOUR 1986 rally versions on the go as 'work in progress' at the moment, and ONE rallycross car! Wink

The latter might take a little longer to complete however due to the work involved to the bodyshell, and the fact that I will also have to create my own decals.

Hampton Caught Tue May 08, 2012 6:42 pm

Lovely stuff, David.

Yes, the rallycross boys tended to run their cars with a few mods and we can't ignore those in 1/43rd land! I've got a collection of front spoilers here now!!

Cheers, Steve

Cowley Tue May 15, 2012 12:04 pm

Many thanks Steve! Very Happy

The above David Llewellin 1986 Rothmans Circuit of Ireland Rally model is now finished, and on display with the rest. Wink

I just need to wait ill the weather improves so that I can take some photos of it in the daylight, so you might not see it for a couple of weeks depending on what the great weather man in the sky has in store for us! Crying or Very sad

My first rallycross 6R4 is now taking shape. I'm not sure when exactly it will be finished, as there's a fair bit of the base model that needs changing, the decals will need originating, and the correct paint colours need sourcing - but I am in no rush to balls it up, so you'll just have to be patient! Wink

No clues what it's going to be by the way - it's Top Secret! Suspect

Hampton Caught Tue May 15, 2012 3:17 pm

That's being cheeky, David! You have left some clues, though! It's a 6R4, it has modifications to the bodywork and has colours (plural!) so I'll plump for Lawrence Gibson! Am I warm? Cheers, Steve Very Happy

Cowley Tue May 15, 2012 3:52 pm

You are VERY WARM Steve - you guessed correctly mate, it is a multi-coloured 6R4 with body modifications. Wink

However...

...you are also VERY MUCH COLDER Steve - you guessed incorrectly mate, it isn't Lawrence's! Very Happy

Hampton Caught Tue May 15, 2012 4:52 pm

Ooooh! Ooooh! Could it be a different Gibson, then? A Rob Gibson, perhaps?! If so, I can let you have the details of the colour I've used on mine Cool

. I'm wondering if there were any other Gibsons involved with rallycross and 6R4s to chose from?! Hmmmm! Steve

Juha Tue May 15, 2012 7:06 pm

Dennis Biggerstaff's car?

Cowley Tue May 15, 2012 7:21 pm

Fits all of the criteria, but NO it's not one of Denis' cars either. Suspect

That's it!... NO more clues... NO more guesses... NO more hot or warm... ...you'll just have to wait! Wink

Juha Tue May 15, 2012 7:37 pm

Just keep me a set of those decals. Laughing

Guest Tue May 15, 2012 7:42 pm

Steve Palmers car?
