hi guys,

after a couple of hard weeks at work and very little motivation to model once i got home, the new season has made me step up a gear :lol: made vast strides with the carbon fibre, thanks to the tip of using a hair dryer, and now she is coming together at last :D still got stacks to do, mainly front and rear wings and final decalling, but i was hoping to have her finished before the race on sunday, not gonna happen me thinks :lol: anyway a few pic's for now

cheers phil

Looking pretty good. All wheels on the ground, very encouraging. Did you have to play with suspension
setup at all ? Or did it all work out fine without tweaking ?

Can you get more light for brighter pictures ? Or increase exposure time, so more light makes into
photos.

lez,

i did have to tweak the suspension just a little, but just basically applying pressure downwards on the rear wheels whilst in the air, if you know what i mean. as for more light, i took these at night and with just a desk lamp for extra light. i will attempt to do some shots durring the day now that the nights are pulling out, maybe this weekend, if i dont have my head burried in all the race coverage and watching free practice re-runs on my dvd recorder :lol:

well guys she is almost 100% finished. just got the steering wheel to complete once i find a small piece of carbon fibre. I should have entered this into the speed build since i've not had time to do any other modelling :cry: Once this is put to bed i will make a start on the fouled up F60 and start converting to a late version :wink: That model is already in brake fluid being stripped of its paint :lol: Any way here's pic's as she stand right now.

enjoy and comments always welcome.

cheers phil.

Hi

A really amazing work!
The overall looks of the car is very good. I think it looks best in 1/20 than 1/1 :lol:

Mine is arriving :D

Best regards!
