Topic: The amazing craftsmanship of Niemas.

I am sure you have seen Niemas around at this point. He builds some of the best 1/24 scale slot cars I have seen. Usually using pricey fiber glass body kits.

Many of his completed cars sell for 1500 dollars or more. This one though is is a "full detail" car he did ta while back. He did a fantastic job getting the drivetrain in this car without killing the scale realism of the car.

Just thought some of you would find it cool!

Re: The amazing craftsmanship of Niemas.

Those are absolutely amazing.
On is there a motor pod? Or does the engine cover come out to swap a motor if needed?

It's all there.  You can see the spur gears.  The motor in the Renault is painted black...

Re: The amazing craftsmanship of Niemas.

Looks like a motor swap as well. The upper pic with unpainted motor has no vent hole while the lower pic motor has a vent hole

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: The amazing craftsmanship of Niemas.

I like to call them "Smoke Release" holes!

Here is some work he posted today. McLaren M7a. I really like the style of using a mostly the model kit as the structure and then just adding the basic chassis underneath it.
