Soldering isn't what amazes me. That looks like the easy part. It's cutting out all of those shapes in brass and their patterns.

Hi Folks,

Michael, Thank you and all the 1/2 rounds are soldered pieces.

JMP, Glad you like it ! and you are right, I have built this thing out of paper stimes

Thanks Adamg !

Hi Harvey, Thanks ..using .010 for the main floor piece that is curved up to form the fuel cells, dropping down to .050 for the piece that supports the dash.

Hi Jan, Appreciate the kind words.

Thank you Jordan.

Thanks Vince.

Hi Randy

Once again great craftsmanship you are showing us here.
This Looks so fantastic that it is almost a shame to paint it later on.

Also very exited about the next updates.

best regards,
Michael

Hi Randy,

Great scratch building work. Your gear shifter is amazingly detail! It is a master piece on its own.

Ok. I'm going to need a bit to pick up my jaw off the floor... like, say, the rest of the year!!!!!

Words fail me!
