I got started with my GB. This is the Tamiya 1/20 Williams FW07 and I'm trying to build the Williams like the real one. That means I've to cut the chassis and the bodywork. As this is all basic stuff I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

I have still to do some placement of the rivets before I go one with the chassis.

Nice start! Very inspirational. Amazing "plastic surgery".
I've started my FW 07 some time ago and it seems I should be much brave with scriber and saw :)

Nice start Eric. I note the pins you've inserted for the side pods to obviously connect them to the chassis. Is your intention to make the side pods removable?
