The bodyshell in one coat of primer. This view shows the quality of fit of the parts as nothing has been done here beyond glue them together.
Seven bodyshells were modified for underwater sequences, this is one of them fully restored after being rescued from a scrap-yard in the Bahamas.
For the road sequences, Lotus lent the film-makers one and Colin Chapman lent his own personal car when they needed another
Der Audi TT von 2007 setzte auf die Hybrid Bauweise. Die gesamte Karosserie mit Ausnahme des hinteren Bodenblechbereiches, der aus Stahlblech gefertigt war, war in der ASF Bauweise (Audi Space Frame) aus Aluminium gebaut. Diese Änderung gegenüber der ersten Serie erfolgte u.a. um mehr Gewicht auf die Hinterachse zu bekommen und so dem Auftrieb bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten entgegen zu wirken.
D1705 built as a Class 47 with a difference. A 47 bodyshell and a Sulzer 12LVA24-type engine, resulted in a Class 48 classification. Refitted with a standard engine in 1969, this turned her the loco into a 47.

DTC stands for Danish Thundersport Championship. The cars follow the CCR MkI and MkII regulations. They consist of a chassis built by Performance AutoMotive Scandinavian AB (PASAB) fitted with a clip-on bodyshell. The engines are 5,7 litre V8s, delivering 445 hp. The available bodyshells change a little from year to year, but in 2014 there were 3 options: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.
Each race weekend consists of a free practice, qualifying and 3 heats, of which the last one is considered the "final"
After heat one, the top 8 will normally get reversed for the heat 2 starting grid, which often causes interesting results and is a guarantee for highly entertaining racing.
Races take place mostly in Denmark, but with occasional visits abroad. 2 races per year take place on street circuits: this one in Aarhus at the CRAA and one in Copenhagen during the Historic Grand Prix there.
Most drivers are danish, but there's always a few norwegians in the pack as well.
The driver line-up is incredibly mixed and features star drivers (past and present) like Jan Magnussen, "Super John" Nielsen, Ronnie Bremer and Casper Elgaard alongside some of Denmark's finest young racing talents with full backing from big teams, as well as a bunch of privateers, who primarily take part for the fun of racing.
At the end of each season, a driver's 3 worst results get discarded to get the final overall result.
The DTC class is widely regarded as the pinnacle of racing on danish soil and is followed intensely by media as well as spectators.
There have been some voices against the DTC being included in the CRAA, saying that this class is anything but "classic racing", which is, of course, true, but no class causes the stands to be as packed as DTC, so it certainly helps attract people (and media interest)
DTC may not be "classic racing", but it plays a major part in making the annual CRAA event so successful.

This type of Diesel locomotive is affectionately nicknamed ‘sex sheds’ by train enthusiasts due to having been designated with the TOPs Classification Number 69. A 69 is actually the bodyshell of a Class 56 fitted with the EMD 710 diesel engine - the same engine found in a 66!
Audi stellte den SUV Q5 2008 vor. Seine Stahlkarosserie besteht aus etwa 1/3 Tiefziehstählen und 2/3 hoch-, höher- und höchstfesten Stählen. Gefügt wird die Karosserie mit gut 5000 Widerstandsschweißpunkten und mehr als 80 m 2-Komponenten Klebstoffnähten. Auch Laserschweißen und Löten kommen als Fügetechniken zum Einsatz.

MG MGB Roadster, 1969 TAX182G
Make MG
Manufacturer British Leyland Motor Corporation
Location Made Abingdon
Engine 4cyl, 1798cc, 95bhp
Fuel Petrol
Top Speed 103mph (166km/h)
Price When New £1,063
From its introduction in 1962, the MGB was extremely successful, especially in the USA. Over 512,880 cars were built, with 125,621 GT models, the rest being roadster models and it became the best selling British sports car ever.
With around 250,000 MGBs still in existence world-wide, it was an obvious first choice when British Motor Heritage decided to re-manufacture original bodyshells.
The new MGB bodyshell was launched in 1988 at the NEC Classic Motor Show, where this 1969 car was rebuilt during the Show using the first new bodies.
Following the Motor Show the car appeared in 'Classic Cars' magazine and featured on the BBC programme 'Top Gear'. It was later auctioned and the proceeds of £13,500 donated to charity.

This uses the Airfix bodyshell and is mounted on a Penelope pitlane chassis. I've built the car for the 2013 Sprite proxy race.

Hornby Dublo and Tri-ang Railways both planned to produce the AL1 (later Class 81) electric locomotive, but Lines Bros (owners of Tri-ang) acquired Meccano Ltd and its Hornby Dublo brand in 1964 and the Tri-ang model used the Hornby Dublo bodyshell. The Hornby Dublo model was made in two-and three-rail versions, whereas the Tri-ang version was a two-rail model. Both were initially produced in the same electric blue livery, the Hornby Dublo version with and without white window surrounds; and the Tri-ang version with and without yellow warning panels (the curious shape of the later was a feature of the model and not the prototype). It was subsequently produced in rail blue with full yellow ends. A similar model was also made by Trix in 1:80 rather than 1:76 scale. Thanks to Flickr user Clagmasterfor the base image of a similar AL3 (later Class 83), which has been modified to more closely resemble the Tri-ang model (21-Jun-24).

Very much at home now in Central Scotland, the 385s seem to have settled in and become part of the scenery. Seen here, the 15.29 Glasgow Central to Lanark, comprising two three car sets, is pausing at Motherwell’s Platform 1, having taken the direct route from Central via Uddingston. The 385s were designed by Hitachi and built at Newton Aycliffe, apart from the first seven, which were constructed entirely at Hitachi's Kasado Works factory in Kudamatsu, Yamaguchi, Japan, thus the set seen here is a seasoned traveller…
In October 2014, immediately after being awarded the ScotRail franchise, Abellio ScotRail announced it had concluded an agreement with the Japanese manufacturer Hitachi Rail to procure 234 new EMU carriages from its A-Train family for use on routes in Scotland that were being electrified. During April 2015, a contract between Hitachi and Abellio ScotRail was signed, ordering 70 new-build EMUs at a cost of £475 million. The unts, which are formed into a mix of three and four-car sets, were procured for the purpose of operating along the main Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line from December 2017, and across Central Scotland. In this manner, the electrification programme and purchase of new EMUs to operate services, would allow a subsequent cascade of the Class 158 and 170 DMUs currently used elsewhere on the network.
The order for the new EMUs was the first operator-based purchase of a Hitachi product for use in the UK following the IEP procurement, and its subsequent construction of its new Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility at Newton Aycliffe. The units were supplied to Abellio Scotrail through a leasing arrangement, which was formed at the time of the original order. Accordingly, the ownership of the fleet resides with Caledonian Rail Leasing Ltd, a subsidiary company of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
Construction commenced in November 2015, with the first units being delivered in December 2016. The bodyshells, supplied by Kasado, were shipped to Newtown Aycliffe and subjected to around seven days of static fitting out, after which they were moved through the production area via an internal traverser, each vehicle required 2,100 man-hours to complete. Roughly 71 percent of all components were sourced within the United Kingdom.

Apart from the engine the SD1 was an almost all new design.
The 5 door bodyshell was supposedly inspired by the Ferrari Daytona, and some nice features like a 5 speed gearbox and power steering as standard.
Coventry registered HRW266V was a black Rover V8 S Auto 3528cc last taxed on 2 February 1993.
RENFE 340 020. These were essentially two Hymeks inside a larger Class V200 bodyshell which developed a mighty 4000 hp. However, according to Wikipedia, they suffered from reliability problems due to mixed traffic usage and poor maintenance.
Modified bodyshell fitted to PCS32 chassis to check wheel positions under arches. Aluminium rims (from PSR) and resin inserts from Steve Francis ( www.facebook.com/pg/SteveFrancisKits/photos/?tab=album&am... ).

I actually dont like her as a character, and mainly got the doll because the faceup was the first tolerable from volks in a while, and as a minor surprise bonus the new DD F3 V2.0 body.
All poses are done without supports, and none of the poses are anything new that I havent done before, even with a DD2.
The V2.0 is still mostly the same style F3 frame underneath, with its irritations in a tweaked bodyshell, and the only real improvement has come from the neck notch, which has been a known retrofit for previous bodies since the DD2.

The ultimate 928 was the GTS. This boasted a revised bodyshell with wider rear wheel arches to give a much muscular appearance.
Under those haunches were new Cup Design wheels, which were now 17-inches in diameter and gave the 928 a more modern appearance, as did the new door mirrors.
However, the big news was the fact that the V8 engine had been increased in capacity to 5.4-litres, thanks to a longer stroke crankshaft, and powered was upped to 350bhp, and torque to 490Nm.
