Tecno-Slot Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi guys! We would like to show you the adaptation of a 'Saab 96/V4 drived by S. Blomqvist on Sweden Rally in 1972' with a Tecno Slot 1/43 Chassis. There are 10 sequences, each one with 6 pictures. We hope you enjoy with that, Some bigger pictures Best regards, Francesc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Lane Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm amazed that no-one has commented on this! That is a very lovely little car and not only a brilliant piece of engineering in modifying the chassis but also an excellent bit of photography. How did you create the six-shot groups with borders? I was a big fan of Stig back in those days and even bought a Saab V4 myself. What a great car to drive! I wish there was a model as good as that in 1:32 scale.

cbracing Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Really nice model you have. yes Stig has been seen many times in the forest rally in this model V4 as we call it here in the north. But even rallycross in the mid 70's drove Stig and Per successfully Saab V4. They were often in the A-final with their Saabs and managed to go from the engine more powerful cars and win the A-finals. But a very nice model of Stig car driven in the Swedish Rally in the early 70's. Regards Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kart, I am also a fan of Mr. Stig...

kalbfellp Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's nice build and great details of the build. Graham: probably very few comments because there is very little interest in 1/43 here in Australia.

Graham Lane Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 You gotta admire the car though. If that was 1:32 I'd snap it up.

chrisfromcrewe Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 An extraordinary piece of craftsmanship. You are right though 1/43rd isn't the most popular scale. Very nice all round. Let's see more please. Quote Ashes to ashes funk to funky we all know Chris is a junkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 1:43 seems to have huge potential though. The good bits from 1:32 with the driving style and detail, with less space required to have a track. Even better now there's other options coming out for cars rather than the 'toy' standard frequently seen. Bravo. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

Graham Lane Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 There are some brilliant 1:43 model manufacturers now entering the slot car market in this scale. They have a massive range of cars that they can produce as the shells are already made. You can 'dress-up' your car parks and pits with them too. In the car magazines that I have there is always a page devoted to the latest model cars. Ususally 1:10, 1:18, 1:24, and 1:43 scale, but rarely 1:32 and when it is then it's a slot car!.

munter Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 1/43 cars seem to have an increasing following from what I am seeing on the interweb. The car in this thread could be part of the reason why. Quote John Warren Slotcars are my preferred reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLY in the wall Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Beautiful. Only 1 concern and I say this tongue in cheek as a former owner of a V4 with downdraft Weber and SAH twin exhausts. Has there ever been a rally car with hub caps. I know it disguises the wheels but if we are counting rivets.... Quote Outside the box looking in. ------------------------------------ You don't own stuff: Stuff owns you! ------------------------------------ Having a cold drink on hot day with a few friends is nice, but having a hot friend on a cold night after a few drinks - PRICELESS.
