Re: 1/12 Matra MS11
Wow, even the foot pedals look cool. And I can almost hear the 12 cylinder whine from that beautifully detailled motor. More great work, Marcus!
Cheers, Chris

Re: 1/12 Matra MS11
If I wasn't following this w.i.p. since the beginning, I would swear looking at those last pictures that they were from the real car, not a 1/12 scale model.
Bravo!

Re: 1/12 Matra MS11
Thank you for your continuing support, these are some great compliments!
Back with another micro-update. Finished the anti-roll bar link rods, and did a little proof of concept for the oil hoses.
Have a nice weekend,
Marcus

Marcus,
A hugely inspiring build and I am delighted the springs are of some use...they are much better on your masterpiece than sitting in my stash!

Re: 1/12 Matra MS11
Thanks Cedric, and great to know you're still watching David!
More experimenting with the oil hoses/tubes. They're not the prettiest parts of the car, but they definitely make it come alive a little bit more. At least two more (much longer) ones are still needed, so I have to be careful they don't get in the way of the (upcoming) throttle mechanism. All tubes were roughly bent into shape while still hot, and where necessary they're filled with metal wire for extra bending capability.
Thanks for watching,
Marcus

Very nice, in the same category as an Andy Matthews build. Sell it for $10,000.00.

Re: 1/12 Matra MS11
Thanks Pascal, Jerry...
I have no intention of selling -- but thanks for the first bid!
Another small step: oil system is now finished, except maybe for rerouting some of the tubes when they get in the way of other parts.
Cheers

Re: 1/12 Matra MS11
Superb, as usual. I love how you did those oil tubes.
