This is a model from the UK TV show Top Gear of James May's Herald amphibious car?.Pre-coloured-cut and using a system of slots and tabs to secure it.This was a wonderful fun gift I received out of the blue and was a lot of fun to build,except for the wheels which were pigs,The tab and slots worked well by and large although I will probably glue some of them later. This came as a set of 3 the others being the Damper Van and the Toyboata. Good fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl3bsL7Nbnk the real beasties!

The You Tube link is to the actual challenge and you will see that the Herald was the only one that didn't sink!!:mrgreen: as for the waterline I was just mucking about with a blue carrier bag so I didn't really look into it!
 
Way cooooooooooooool my old mate :thumb:. I saw this episode when first transmitted and a lot of their others too. Nice build, and like the water effect :thumb: Are you making the other vehicles too ?
 
But it sank trying to get over to France, it didn't get out of the harbour. So did the dampervan. All the guys sailed across the Channel in Clarkson's Toyboata.
 
I was given them as a gift so I don't know where all I can suggest is maybe Amazon or if you can the BBC website might have them in their store.Good luck hunting!
 
I'll have to look back at my directory, but I think it was an episode about 2-3 yrs ago.
& as funny as hell, How 3 so called intelligent *&^ could stuff up simple things like blocking radiators etc, is beyond me.
But I guess if they did it in a sensible way it would only be another boring car show!
