Project #1 of 2 - 1/32 Mini Dream Thingie

Inspired by the Champion of Chamblee Jaildoor but downsized to 1/32,
making this for my friend Allan Wakefield.

Artin 1/43 rear wheels Dremelled untill it fit on the custom Kai wheels

Sleeved the wheels to fit on a 3/32 Axle (Slot It axle)

The finished result

Modified the Sam Stephen Weldon custom Cobra style guide tongue to 1/32 size,
This is a mock up the front axle tube has been shortened a bit after this picture.

Drilled out the Al Penrose (BWA) bracket to fit a tube to match the Champion of Chamblee style.

The photo's do not do this body any justice.
The wonderful paintwork is done by Lupo Lupazzi.
The 1/32 Mini Dream body was made by Lucio Cocchi

Superbe Jaak !
A vendredi

Bonjour

La peinture est magnifique.

Bon courage pour la découpe

Merci Philippos,

Oui je serai là au club.

Copier Jaak !!! I have the same SCD building jig. Some times ago Chas Keeling said me he had made hundreds ...

Otherwise, nice work but you forgot to cut the tube at the back

The name of your body is Mini-A Minor.

Here its original frame. Iso Fulcrum type with Mabuchi FT16D :

Haha I am sure Chas made a lot,
Seen many people with them and also gave one as a present to a friend.
I modified mine a bit but am very impressed in how much heat it can take, better then corian®.

Yeah I need to cut the tube and do some more work on it this was a in-between progress shot before I did any cleaning up

I had seen the Mini Dream chassis before eventhough they are very rare, these where heavily inspired by the Cox La Cucaracha chassis, is that yours?

Merci TEF77.

A oui ...
Je me réjouis d'avoir le découpe

77 est une grande année et le numéro

Yes, inspired by Cox La Cucaracha 1/24 and also Cox Lil' Cucaracha 1/32 with thermo bodies.
This chassis is from the Porsche 910 kit I never assembled...

Photos for those who do not know what it is.

Pour moi c'est juste le N° de mon département mais bon..... il est vrai que depuis que l'on est la, on de la chance, alors qui c'est peut-être que le chiffre 77 y est pour quelque chose............

Nearly finished now!
