1969 Lotus 49
Hello
While in the middle (or middle to close finish) of making other model I want something done quickly. I decided to make a classic F1, and not getting into much details. So from the vastness of www I come up with free Lotus 49 designed by Takayoshi Ichiyama San which can be found here: Puti F Lotus49 of カードの兵隊 Others For it's generall simplicity it's very neat with rather detailed engine. To make it look more real I did some surgery to central part. |

I'm watching with a big smile.
Jim Clark's Lotus is what started my interest in F1 at age 6. I was given a postcard with a picture of Clark's car (I still have it!). I have sworn to myself that one day I would build this model, but I still haven't. Ichiyama makes some great models!

I just guesstimated the wheelbase from his photos,
and applied it to the real thing (95" wheelbase).

As it is non color printout it need to be painted.
I wouldn't have patience for some original livery so I went a bit over the edge Air intakes for oil coolers and engine are scratchbuilt, based on mid 70's F1. There was no Lotus 49 in this configuration taking part in GP. |

Morning
Paper is 80 grade in this one but I also use 160. Cardboard is 0,5 mm - pizza box. Any chance to see the scan or just a photo of that postcard with Jim Clark car? Lucky You. I always remembered F1 from Matchbox or Majorette catalogues. There was a poster hung by my father, perhaps of a Ferrari, I don't remember. But when I saw The Rush Man, the nostalgy kick big time |
