A while ago, maybe earlier this year (could be a bit longer) a member posted a picture of a very simple but pleasing model racing car, made from odds and ends.

I would like to make something similar but have been unable to find the picture.

Can anyone , or indeed the maker point me in the right direction please.

Thank you.

Adrian.

Hi Adrian,

I've done a few – they're in my album – dunno if those are the ones you're looking for.

Thank you Mick,

Yes it's there . A lot of beautiful things in your album, lots of food for thought there.

Thank you,

Adrian.

Well, thank you!

Wheels are black acetal with, on the one made from square brass bar, heat-blued titanium hubcaps. Axles are brass, cross-roll-pinned into the body, with brass hubs giving a thou or three endfloat on a close running fit to the wheels.

If little children are involved, fix the driver in so as to prevent choke hazard – I used an M3 c/sk skt screw from underneath. If the kids are older, loctite the wheelnuts …
