1/8 Jaguar C Type
No build thread, but I though some of you might be interested in my 'scratch' 1/8 C Type Jaguar......

Roy.

The tall glass is actually Coke....

The body was carved in wood, a rubber mould made and then the shell laid up in glass matt and resin.

Re: 1/8 Jaguar C Type
I've done a fair bit more on the 'Big C'.

The exhaust manifold was scratched using bits of an E Type manifold, tubing and lots of filler!
I have nice Webber carbs from a 'source' in Germany but I'm looking at making up my own.
The rear diff, axle and suspension is next and then the brakes and wheels.
Its a really fun build and part of the enjoyment is working out HOW to do something.

After this one, it's a short nose D Type Jaguar......

Onward and upward.....

Roy.

Re: 1/8 Jaguar C Type
Great work so far!!! looks increible!!
Shapeways can 3D print you a 1/8 Jag (c or D type i think) if you can afford it + all the extras, like engine etc etc etc...

"Its a really fun build and part of the enjoyment is working out HOW to do something."

So the 3000 part 'Star of India' Pocher was not fun enough??
Please keep updating as I am going to school on your methods and solutions.

Re: 1/8 Jaguar C Type
The carbs are beautiful-are they resin or white metal Roy?

Re: 1/8 Jaguar C Type
The carbs are metal, with 'proper' spun ally trumpets.

Re: 1/8 Jaguar C Type
Moving on......

The rear end is almost sorted and the front is test-fitted but not fixed.
Front chassis/suspension next.

Roy.
