Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The trigger/handles were freehand machined and then hand carved for more detail.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I drew up and printed a set of decals that match the real counterpart.
 Including the two different era and company certification tags.  As well as the printing on both sides of the hose…  Made the gauge too; yes there is a needle and an acrylic lens.  |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The last touches were the safety pin wound out of nickel wire and the safety wire wound from .007 fine insulated wire.
Total parts count is at least a dozen.      |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I machined the flange to mount the steering wheel to the shaft. I also made the crush sleeve and horn button.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The bracket to mount the fire extinguisher to the floor. I guess I could have just glued it in place… well, no I couldn't do that…
Sheet brass cut and shaped.   The strap is vinyl.    |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I made brackets for the radiator.
 The hard coolant lines from the radiator to the side pods are reworked parts from the kit, the left side being relocated to the top of the modified radiator and bent up much more than the right.  The silicone connector hoses are made of brass. The hose clamps are tin and I machined the worm drives from aluminum.   Dry fitted together.     Last edited by Scale-Master; 08-15-2021 at 08:35 PM. |
