This is one of the TKpaperCraft vehicles. You pay your money and receive a PDF file containing 19 pages of parts and the rest are pictures of the building process.
What they don't say in advance is that apart from the usual tools you will need wire and wooden sticks of varying thickness. A circle cutter is also useful, plenty of glue will be needed because almost all the parts are double thickness or require additional card (1 mm to 5 mm) as a backing. There are also problems with the numbering and the pictures give you no idea how some parts are put together. There are more problems but it's possible that regular car makers are aware of this sort of thing. However the good news is that there is tons of detail and generally the parts fit is good. Cheers Mike This model is 1:20 scale which means that it is about 11 inches (28cm) long. |

Very nice job, Mike. A really clean build. I purchased one of their kits a few years ago, but haven't even printed it out yet. TK has a really fine line of antique race cars. I'm glad to see one built. Excellent work.

Thank you all for your comments - they make all the frustrations worth it!
My current build couldn't be more different - It's I.D's postcard kit of St Steven's in Vienna. Cheers Mike |
