Thanks Jordan for that link, should probably have looked there. I did check 1999.co.jp and modelfactoryhiro.com and neither had anything at all on the Tyrrell.

I'm trying to rebuild the models after the small accident with my display case about two weeks ago. I got almost all the kits rebuild except for the most heavily damaged MFH kits. One of them being the Tyrrell 006 that is just a wreck and needs to be completely rebuild. The only instruction that I d...

I'm a long time fan and long time user of Harder & Steenbeck brushes, had my Evolution for around 15 year nows. One nice thing is that the needle and nozzle is the same in all the models from the cheapest Ultra to the most expensive Infinity. So you can get the same results with all of them and ...

Really not in a good mood right now. This is what my display case normally look like. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj171/jonwahlen/DSC03505_zps497a6f85.jpg This is some months old and I have changed some of the models in it. I had a new trophy (from a cart race so not model related) that I was...

What a race! Has to be one of the best from the past few years. As it was done in 24 hours it was mostly build straight from the box. Just added some belts, intake funnels and exhaust tips. Painted in Tamiya Sky blue with Zero 2k clear. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj171/jonwahlen/Matra%20MS65...

Thanks, starting to feel a bit better and the race has been crazy so far! So with just under one and a half hour to go I'm calling this done! What a race it has been and a rather fun build as well. It is a pretty simple kit but it goes together well and looks pretty good. With a bit more time it cou...

Getting close now, it's on wheels! Was a bit of a problem to get the wheels to fit as the axles where too long so I made new ones from styrene rod. I need to redo the intake funnels and still a lot of PE missing. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj171/jonwahlen/Matra%20MS650/misc_16037_zpsbd7e9e18...

Thanks! The progress has slowed down a bit, partly because I've been awake for about 24 hours (and there is still seven to go) and I've seem to have gotten a light case of food poisoning, so not feeling too good but I will continue and try to get to the end. The interior is pretty much done, I might...

To add a bit of wear to the interior it was first painted in Alclad aluminium followed by some chipping fluid then green zinc chromate, more chipping fluid and finally flat black. After letting everything dry the paint was removed from some areas that the driver would come in contact with. http://i2...

Thanks for the comments!

Clear coat is on! Now time to get started on the chassis and interior.
