                        That's delightful. I particularly like the effect of the treadplate panels. Well done.

                        Thanks Greg. The body side  were thread plate plasticard. The centre section was paper thin plasticard formed over a shaped frame to give the smooth shape. The paint is chrome plasti-kote and clear gloss  from the same source.

                        Well thank you everyone. I'd seen various resin kits of the teardrop but they are in the USA. The shipping costs are about or more than the kits themselves. So I thought I'd try and make one and it worked!
