The guards look really nice. I like them.
You're making a brass chassis?

I wish I was able to produce such a glossy stainless chrome finish. The guards look great. Jarda

Sorry kit collectors, but you go right ahead and WHACK THAT PLASTIC! This thing is gonna be INCREDIBLE! I love working in 1/16th scale. Granted, it calls for a lot more scratchbuilding due to the lack of kit-supplied parts 'n pieces, but when it's done that monster will RULE the contest tables!

Jarda Jarda, it is polished Aluminium Those mudguards are f ing awsome, ive been thinking about attempting that myself for a while now, great to see yours have turned out great, got any tips for rolling those edges? They are not that easy, takes a bit of trail and error, try bending them over a socket, BUT don't bend to much, bend about 1mm over in the smaller scale, more is less

Hello All, I haven't been on for a while to update my nightmare, been doing a lot of other 1/16th stuff that keeps me busy Here is a small update on the chassis All the flanges are being cast in brass, with the KW logo on them, hopefully have them soon, I am thinking of etching a new chassis, with all the bolt holes already drilled, I have also made new tyres to replace the kit tyres, I will cast these in soft resin, My tyre on the top, and the original kit tyre on the bottom I have also done the steer as well
