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

Tom Tanner/Ferrari Expo 2015-Chicago March 21st 2015

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

Wow!! I really don't know what to say, except WOW!! The GT40 chassis is coming along stunningly, and your other full-metal build.....just Wow!!! It's always a joy to see your work, looking forward to seeing more.
Cheers,
Chris

This build is totally mind blowing! You're skill and attention to detail are beyond compare.

And I thought my jaw couldn't fall any further!

Yet more fantastic work Randy!!

...........and that truck....WOW Consider my mind well n' truly blown

Would be nice to see all the parts sprayed in color,like conventional modeller would do.
