Open wheels at the U.S. Nationals

Just got back from the big show in Columbus where open wheelers were well represented. I didn't get names for most of the builders so I'll just post the pics.......

These last 3 1/12 F1 cars are by Dave Morgan of Cincinnati. I gotta get him to show me his tricks!

Gotta love those wired and detailed 1/43 scale cars!

I think that is the first Revell AG Sauber that I have ever seen built. They did a great job on it!

Obviously the Tamiya kits are just superbly done and those 1/43s are almost jewel-like.

Thanks guys for posting these pics, we need to praise the guys that build these open wheeled cars and maybe even mention this board to them if we get a chance to pick their brains.

So that's what a Lotus 107B looks like with the decals on. ;D
Seriously, great stuff.
Does anyone know how the stands for the bodywork are made?
I like to display my F1 cars with the panels and wheels off so this info would be helpful.

Some very nice looking models! Sure wish those guys were on here (if they are not already!).

Hi Greg,

I would venture a guess that brass wire, or Evergreen plastic rod would either one work for building the stands. Other materials could be used, too, I guess. Some measurements and build them as if you had to build the real things. ;D
