Amazing work. Almost a shame to have to paint it as brass looks so nice.

Re: Adventures in soldering:The GT40 Project upate 1/23
Hi Folks,
Thank you bill !
Hello Harvey, thank you my friend !!
gtziaf, glad you like it.
Thanks Dede.
Sky, appreciate it !
Hello Michael, Thank you sir and I like your're second idea better
Hi Stephen, I use Tix solder for a low melt solder and Novak silver solder for a high temp. For heat I use a basic small pencil iron and a small butane torch for large work such as the base plate for this one.
Thank you Tom
To Mr 68 , yes I thought about it, but am already doing a build that will be in 'natural' metal finish and wanted to show a painted model with this one...
A couple of pics to show my 'metal finish build'...
small update...
added a fuel pipe and painted the inside flat black so I can solder the top on.
Working on the shock mounts and the A arms and the made up the rather crude beginnings of the front spindles.....
Thank you for looking in !
Randy
