Hello everyone, I've finally decided what my next project will be.
I'll be doing a 1/6 or 1/8 scale of my Triumph Tr6. The tr6 is a very small car, at 155 inches long by 58 inches wide. So at 1/6 scale, the model would be 25.8 inches x 9.6 inches. At 1/8, it would be 19 3/8 x 7 1/4. So, scale is TBD. There is no kit for this car but a 1/18 diecast is available and I do have it. As with the Hydra, I'll be 3d modeling the car first by measuring the one I have in the garage (and the diecast when necessary) and 3d printing it.
Here are my goals for this one.
-fonctional engine (crank, pistons, camshaft, rockers...)
-driven rear wheels from engine
-working steering
-opening hood, trunk lid and doors
-working side windows (that will be new for me)
-working soft top
-full leather interior (naturally)
-and probably many other things that I'm not thinking of.
It may seem like a boring project to some of you (especially after the hydra) but this car means a lot to me. I'm not sure how many more years I'll keep it so I want to scale it now while I still have it. And it will always be a reminder of the fun I had driving it.
So I hope you will be as interested in this new project as you were with the Bentley and Hydra .
Being in my garage, It's the best reference car l could wish for.
