Any Interest in 1/16th scale drivers?and some pics of my 63 Tahoe miss project...
Hey Guys, I needed to make a driver for myself, so I created one, and then made created a mold to reproduce them in resin, as I am building a couple of boats and what the heck, drivers are hard to find, this driver is smaller then the neat one Doug Campbell makes, it started as a 4 " figure, which would make the guy exactly 6' in 1/16th, he also has the mid sixties early seventies helmet...

Also would it be better to have him all as one piece or with separate arms or should I offer both?

any thoughts.

Eddie,

I'll take some. I like the idea of glue-on arms for minor adjustments.

Thanx Mike
Thanx top!
probably in a week or so, I have made a few already, and deciding the arm shape is still up in the air, I cast them fairly straight, and then simply cut an angle them for the best fit, depending on the size cockpit

here's another

Yeah, boat racers in drag, heavy breathers. Knowing Dan and that San Francisco effect, his drivers will be painted pink.
