    I have also been looking at Andy Cauldwell's build of 'Old Calhoun' where he detailed up that old AMT kit. Just shows what can be done to a 50 year old kit and get a top award at your IPMS Nationals.

    Just out of curiosity can your white metal roadsters be entered in your USA Nationals? At Scale Modelworld Telford 1/43rd scale white metal models are allowed. A bit of an inheritance from when virtually al! 1/43rd scale kits used to be manufactured in white metal.

    Thanks Noel for the nice comments!

     

    As for your question yes the roadsters can be entered in the IPMS Nationals.

    I have entered several 1/43 scale scale white metal kits in the various "Small Scale Automotive" classes (1/32 scale and smaller) at several IPMS USA Nationals over the years. 

    I would love to bring "Old Calhoun" and several other of my small scale builds "Across The Pond" to show at Telford one year.

    Scale Modelworld is a show on my "bucket list"!

    I have not posted anything in awhile so I thought I would post some pictures  my recently completed pair of 1963 Indy Novi Roadsters in 1/43 scale.

    These are white metal 1/43 scale kits from SMTS that took a little more than a month to build.

    I added some detail here and there to each model. 

    They were  a lot of fun to build  and I was really happy with the end result.

  22. Parnelli Jones's 1963 Indy 500 Winning Watson Roadster

    in Cars, Trucks, & Motorcycles

    Posted · Edited by Florida70Bee

    After 2 Years I finally finished my build of Parnelli Jones's 1963 Indy 500 Winning Watson Roadster.

     

    Nicknamed "Ole Calhoun its one of the last of the front engine Indy roadsters to win Indy (The last roadster to win the 500 was in 1964 when AJ Foyt crossed the line first with his Watson roadster.)

     

    The Indy Roadsters of this era were some of the most beautiful race cars ever to race and many would argue "Ole Calhoun" was one best looking

     

    By 1965 virtually all of these front engine beasts were rendered obsolete with the onslaught of European rear engine F1 style racers. So this car represents a time of transition for Indy..

     

    I started with a 50 year old original AMT kit which I proceeded to modify extensively over a 2 year period to get it to look "Right"

     

    I finished this build earlier this week just in time for the IPMS Nationals in Columbia SC

     

    I have extensive work in progress picture library on
