Racing Legends: Thierry Taupenas

If you are abreast of the current batch of outstanding resin castors out there such as Roger Corrie of Virginia Beach or Road Race Replicas's Phil Pignon or Bat Jet's Tom Bowman and last but certainly not least MEV's Mike Vitale, you perhaps have heard of Racing Legend's Thierry Taupenas from Antony, France. Thierry has been actively casting resin cars for AFX Magnatraction and Tomy HO chassis for ten years or so and is perhaps in a league by himself. His body kits come unpainted and cost around fifteen bucks plus shipping from France, but they are absolutely magnificent. Although his web site is in French, it is not too difficult to navigate and the kit and project pages are jaw dropping! Here are a few examples of his offerings. The site link is: http://racleg.free.fr/index.htm and well worth a gander! The Cobra and Austin Healey 3000 are in the prototype stage. The Scarab is perhaps my favorite and is out of production of course. He also makes some of the best driver figures out there. God Bless! Tonymgbbrown
