 | | Caterham 7 replica completed: Take a look at my finished creation! —Neil Everett
|
| | | Hi all, I'm sure many of you have seen previous pictures of my Caterham replica, but it is now finished! The finishing touch to the model is the working windscreen wipers. In addition to these, the bodywork is now complete, and there are some seats (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)

Yeah, I know, it's a Caterham but us Prisoner/Lotus fans only admit to one paint scheme. :-) Bruce (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)

I agree about the colour too (I know the BRG acronym well!), I did consider a white stripe on the blue, but decided it would probably end up looking messy. BRG bricks please, Lego?
