Twin Blue Datto's
Ok, so finished the 2 Blue Datto's and sent them on their way to the Blue Datto Foundation. As far as they know there is only 1, would love to be there when they open the box.
Anyway, here they are, body shortened by Dufasdave, thanks Dave, molded and cast by yours truly. Paint supplied free of charge by Inspirations Paint at Oxenford on the Gold Coast. Wheels are from WRX kits I believe, thanks Paul and Tony (slightly different but don't matter). Rear tailgate smoothed and tonneau covers made from Kleenex tissues, doubled up, soaked in a water and wood glue soup, stretched over sacrificial Datto body with wires in place, left to dry, painted flat black, peeled off, trimmed to size and glued in place.
Grill made to replicate Gallant grill used in the real car, using lights from a HK Premier and centre scratch built then molded and cast.
There were a couple of things that didn't get done like scoop on the bonnet and white wall tyres but they were fine with that.
Can do more bodies if anyone is interested.

Re: Twin Blue Datto's
Excellent work Tubman. Hope they really appreciate what you have done for them, especially the additional build. I am sure they will. Hopefully see you over the next few days when I am down that way.
