Wooooww!!! That's bravery!!!! It's a crazy world: me making a '90 Lla froma Mongram 87/88, you making a '88 froma '93!!! The thing is that sidepods are quite taller in the '88 machine, and tub is significantly stubbier (is that the word, I mean fat). Don't forget the "pyramidal" sides that emerge from the engine cover sides. May I suggest: why not taking measures from the amt bodywork instead of the instructions?? The drawings don't look spot on on scale, the plastic body really seems to. Is this a one-off or will it have some sisters??  |

Stu,
I have a set of original Lola drawings for the T8700 which differs only slightly from the T8800, IIRC. If they can be of use to you let me know.

I still have many more modifications to do before I even think of priming it.
Ralph - I think I have a set of wheel covers that you gave me many years ago. I will check! Thanks!
Bo - I would love a copy of the drawings. Can they be scanned and emailed? stubenford@yahoo.com
Thanks guys!

Thanks to Bo for the Lola drawing. This will help me get the correct angle/slope of the nose. I already see that I will have to redo some work in that area. Thanks Bo!

Wait until "The Flying Dutchman" sees this baby!!! He saw my 85 Dutch Treats I made you. Arie sent me many photos he had of the car, of course I returned them. Arie is a good man. I asked Arie if he wanted the 85 & he said he has the real one so he didn't need the model lol. |

I'm wondering if those were Willins belts? They were pretty well used in that era. Awesome work on a beautiful livery.

Stu When I did the 82 Unser Galmer I had to drop the angle of the nose because the 93 Lola was too gradually sloped. It wasn't that difficult after I figured the plan of attack. Plus the nose had to be much more pointy. Amazing what you can do with metal, little tougher but can be done. |

It looks great, Stu. You really cannot see the '93 Lola in the car anymore. Very enjoyable to watch your progress.

5 tries later I finally made a windscreen. I purchased five candle light bulbs to do it! You see, the candle light bulbs come in a clear plastic blister pack so I carefully cut it out to make my windscreen. Carefully cut it out five times until I got a good one! LOL After I cut it out I painted the underside of it. Need to install some mirrors,wheel nuts and mount it on a base and it will be good to go.    |

That windshield is awesome. I would have never thought of using that. There are many things outside the normal that I have found useful in modeling, just think it through & look around. I have found the 2 piece grommets for tarps can be used for a turbo trumpet, only use the big part. Straws & swizzle sticks can be used for exhaust pipes. All kinds of odd things can double for parts.
