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!

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.
