Does that actually build right? It looks like the corners will have a hard time meeting. Is there a second page?

Now this is interesting and my build attempt will be posted in my 'Wee Beasties' thread.

Why there? Because Terry Parkin (the designer of the 150+ Microcar models on a CD I was working through), actually owns and drives a Sera, and I've told him that he should include one in his model collection.

Yes, the Sera was originally a Concept car for a Japanese car show, but it did actually get put into production. Quite a few were built, but they didn't sell well and were only ever made as RHD. Although only sold new in Japan, enough have found their way into UK for an owners club to be formed.

It's quite a looker, but they reputed to be a bit of a nightmare to work on, and spare parts are not easy to source.

Toyota Sera - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hopefully I'll post a finished model in a day or so.

Keep on snippin' ... Johnny.

There ya go ...



The front and back screens were bu**ers, but double curvature screens never were gonna be easy.

This one is 4.5" long. I've also scratchbuilt a chassis and given it rotating wheels.

Keep on snippin' ... Johnny.

It came out very well. How did you get the compound curves to turn out that good?

Spit on reverse side to soften the card and burnish with me fingers, fingernails, and the polished back of a diamond dust nail file. It also helps a lot if you cut off all the originals tabs and use card strips to get a flush seam.

Wheels are made onto toothpick axles, which pass through the simple box chassis.

Johnny.
