Reubenmc, Mini-Callaways -R- US

[critt99]

Reuben, I keep hoping that by adding H2O they will grow up to be big Callaways.

I have not had much time to work on the models until the last week or so. My focus has been on the book thing. I have finally fit the chassis to the C7R. Finding the wheels for the cars are biggest challange. I have made the prototypes out of dental stone, because it is easy to carve and is very strong. The side-skirts for the LM are the next project. Once the prototypes are done, I will make molds in medium rubber and pour the parts in resin. I hope to make it like a kit. With minor modifications to a 1996 diecast Corvette. I made a complete car last summer, but left it in Italy for a friend. I was not happy with the car anyway. I needed to start all over on the LM. The C7R is the big project. I have the body 90%. It is in dental stone as well, but to make the final buck for reproduction I need to perfect it in resin. The first ones will be curb-side, with out interiors. As time permits, I will start the full chassis prototyping. It may take me a couple of years to complete that project. Do you have any interesting Callaway models?

Take care, Merry X-mas to all of the Callaway Club.....mike

Thanks Mike!! Those are looking pretty good! Can't wait to see the finished product. Maybe they will be done in time to sell a Callaway Racing Package with the book and the two models.

I've only got a 1/18 C12 by Auto Art, the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame C7R with a picture of Reeves and 2 Micro Machine Speedsters.

Merry Christmas!!

Mike - That is simply AMAZING!!!!!!! :eek


Your work is awesome!! Simply awesome!!!!!

Don, the owner of this site - http://www.scalevisions.com used to have some Callaway Corvettes on his site
I did not see them anymore though... He looks for between $500 - $1500 per car and his work is in some serious collector hands

At Carlisle a few years ago, Callaway4Fun had an extensive conversation w/ the fella - he does awesome work however, I do not think anyone was prepared to hear that for a price :eek

200-500 maybe - For $1500 bucks, I'd buy a spare turbo
