Marble caterham (group build)

My marble caterham is finaly finished. I wanted something entirely different than all the other caterham builds. So no engine swaps, no machined aluminium trumpets, No 21inch wheels... just some minor mods and a special paintjob

Hope you like it.

I love your concept - extremely original and superbly executed! Congratulations
I also like the 1/24/24 box on the seat
Don't forget you PROMISED a "how to" on the marble effect

To be honest. it's not 1/24/24 box in the seat. it's about 30% to big.

Did I promised a how to? Damn my memory ;-)
Don't worry, when I'm in the mood, I'll make a How-To, and I'll probably explain how to do white marble as wel.

Re: Marble caterham (group build)

We have a winner! I think this is the first one completed.

Awesome- it looks terrific. Sounded like a strange idea at first, but I really like how it came out. Now we just need that tutorial, and some bigger pics with more light!

30% too big, huh? Maybe it's a 1/12 kit. Kind of presents a dilema- go for a drive, or rush home and build? Decisions, decisions.

Dude, that looks really awesome. I'm really impressed on how it came out. Seems like we're gonna have a few of these kits done pretty soon

Very nice, I really like the paintjob. I can see now why these are so popular and you did a fine job with this.

No I don't have engine pics. I decided to concentrate on the exterior, so i haven't spent ANY time on the hidden details. There isn't simply any engine details. The hood is gleud to the rest of the car, It's almost an curbside.

Re: Marble caterham (group build)

Great build, simple but stunning! to say the least. And your right just enough mods to be different,but not crazy . The paint is awesome, cant wait for the how-to! The rims and the mini-model look great. Top notch

Thank you for the response. I've already made a how-to.

Re: Marble caterham (group build)

Like the box idea too

Finishing sound a bit strange to me but seeing now, is good; it remind me a military camouflage: cool.
