Rc12r5.2 McLaren Project

Post by HorseNZ »

This is my first post of my cars. Picked up a RC12R5.2 on trademe which is the local site like eBay here in NZ.
Started a mold for a McLaren M8 that I’ve been thinking of making for a while and will machine up some aluminium wheels to complete the look

Wheels look very nice. Looking forward to seeing the McLaren touch on them.

A little more work on the mold. Pretty happy with the proportions now to start filling in so it will vacuum form. Hopefully can do this without losing too much of the M8’s iconic lines!
