Title: John Rapinette Model
Post by: craiga on November 22, 2003, 11:45:10 AM
Here is a picture of a Trax model I did for John Rapinette in the NSW Club. This was a damaged Yellow and Black FC special that John's mate got out of a garbage bin.

I have repaired the damage to the roof, removed the Special strips down the side, modified the boot badge to a Standard type, modified the interior to have bucket seats, made number plates the same as John's, fitted wheels off a Hot Wheels truck, tubbed the rear to suit the larger wheels, and painted it in a dark Gun Metal grey like John's car.

This isn't a great shot but maybe John can post some more. On left is original, on the right is the model.

Cheers,

Craig.
