For a number of years I’ve been gathering parts and info to build the McLaren M25 F5000 car in 1/20 scale. My last challenge is the exhaust system. I’m not having much luck finding how to articles or videos on how to build up a system like this or a 3D designer who could take on the work at a reason...

Beautiful work! I’ve had the kit for years but always been intimidated by the paint/decals. I’ve thought about laying down the red decals first and then blending in the paint versus masking, painting and then adding the decals as per the instructions.

I also purchased a kit last year and as Sean says it's a lot of work. It's a hand-made kit and is more likely to be classified as "old school"... (please don't misunderstand this - there are better and worse kits here too). I have also started reworking the kit and will also recreate some...

Nice lighting setup! Always one of the biggest problems in contest venues.
