  1. A small update... I am at the mercy of the post office and other parcel services. I am waiting for some items to add some extra detail that are not part of the kit. I am also doing some research on wiring and plumbing and I seem to only get photos of half of what I am looking for... so this is where I sit anxiously waiting for mail.

    thanks for looking

  2. I did spend some of my super bowl Sunday getting some bench time.

    made some seat belts, assembled the shifter. I put the radiators on and put on one of the hard lines.

    I was going to install the gas tank and oil cooler, but I’m going to wait until I assemble the engine and get that installed first. I figured it would be easier to do it this way, than work around the tanks.

     Thank again for looking 

    Chris

    great start Chris! that tub looks really nice already ... could you guys leave the burrs and just go right to a bead? I’m ignurant about F1, but a fan nonetheless 

     

    ... other than one more excuse for doing stupid stuff, I can’t think of anything good about getting old ... I just got my last surgery to repair my detached retina and will finally get back to a few projects ... the doc said detached retinas aren’t all that uncommon for folks over 50 ... up until then, I thought anything over 2.50 cheater glasses was cheatin’ ...

    Thank you...

    I am cheating...3.0 readers baby!!

  4. Thank you everyone for the kind words!!

    This is my first attempt at building a tank and weathering. I found that YouTube was the best place to see and learn new techniques. 

    You do have to apply what you see and hope it turns out the way “you” want it.

    I used Tamiya paints on this build.

    I would like to give the weathering credit to Andy @ Andyshobby and panzermister36 these people have some great techniques on YouTube that where beyond helpful.
