    Default Santa's elves, on quarantine

    Having time on my hands, I added some details. I doubt the APEX crew are among those that can't handle being stuck at home for a week or two, but here's a momentary distraction for when you aren't in the garage.

    Talent usually ends up in front, but fun goes from the front of the grid all the way to the back.

    Replace the pretend motor with a slot car motor, add some pick ups and guide, it looks like it would fit my Carrera slot car track!

    The car is 20 + inches long and the front-wheel outer edges are 9 inches apart. Not sure slots fit that criteria, but it would make one heck of a radio-controlled toy! However, not about to risk it, as it took way too long to make.

    Is the fuel tank between the seat and radiator?

    Cool model!

    In the side shot, you can see the tank cover [made of brass. I'll probably paint it one day, as mine is aluminum] behind the seat. The filler cap can be seen sticking up also.

    Many thanks for the kind words all.
