Ornamental jewellery accessories. Had used it as propeller hub.

I am most intrigued. Can you give a little more information on the
ornamental jewelry accessories?

What did you use for the rear axle? I also like the gas pedal, etc.

Very very nice work!!!!

I think the wheels are spaced a bit too much at the rear, but you could just shorten the axle.
The build quality is amazing.
Nice photography too.

Yes, the Driver's details are excellent. Well done.
However Stage Fright actually has an old coach column with tree mounted controls.
Throttle and auto gear changer are swivel levers on the column.
I'm not aware of any foot pedals.
Hand-brake is mounted on the left side of the seat pedestal.



There is a column mounted windscreen...but it appears to be on later versions.
Not in the original ShowWorld photos.


I couldn't find any clear photos of the rear end/suspension,
the pic below is a pencil/pastel artwork.
So I decided to use my own artwork of a Jaguar Independent rear axle,
which was commonly used in Hotrods and Tee buckets.

I believe Stage Fright actually has four chrome rear springs, just like the front suspension.

But your 3D springs are a nice touch...wrong colour, but nice touch!



I have saved all your photos for my collection...hope thats okay.
Its amazing to see such a simple little model turned into a masterpiece build. LOL VERY KOOL!

Those are like beads and jewels that you can find in ornamental jewelery accessories stores here in HK (see Google street scene picture), maybe similar places or departments in large superstores in north America. They come in many sizes and packed in small bags usually.

Great job! My first thought was that you had separated a pill capsule into halves and painted them with a gold leaf pen.

Thanks. That gives me some new places to look for "parts".

I did drill a small hole with a hand drill on the "capsule" which is made of metal. It took some effort to do it.
