What a great looking car! BRAVO!
Put them all together? You are the only one in the entire world with an entire set of Herkmobiles! You have to do his last car (because it's soon going to be out) the 1974 Miller High Life McLaren. No doubt you could get your hands on a 1971 Kuzma and work some magic to convert it into a short track Coyote?
Outstanding, thanks for the WIP.

These are just great. Thank you so much for sharing your WIP on all of them. Herk was one of the best.

Thanks to all who followed this WIP. And thank you all for the kind words. I am toying with the idea of building this:  I think it will have to be a scratch build unless someone can suggest a starting point. Any suggestions are welcome. kip |

There isn't a starting point other than the drawings. Shouldn't be too difficult if you make something like bulkheads and plank it with styrene strips. The gentle curves lend very well to that method. It would be difficult to shape it out of rennshape. Would love to see you try it.

Thanks. I think the bulkhead and strip method is the way I will have to go. I have the drawings. I've seen it done using Tamiya Epoxy Putty over the strips. Does anyone know where to get the putty in the US? All sources I have found are in Japan, Taiwan, or Hong Kong. This method will be a first for me.

Are you wanting a two part shaping putty? Milliput makes some really good stuff for that and you get a lot more than the Tamiya stuff. They sell it at most Hobby Lobby stores and most hobby shops carry it. Apoxie sculpt is also fairly nice. www.hobbyworld-usa.com/Store/1065-putty-and-fillers |

You can also get a fine grade of Bondo at most auto parts stores, Kip.
