  1. Thanks for checking in! there are none supplied, but with the reference photos I have it’s a mess of wires and tubes
  2. Married the engine to the trans and added some oil lines… next up is the cockpit… and after studying the directions there seems to be quite a bit of interesting things coming my way.
  3. Thanks guy! I agree with the photos. I have to share space with the wife, so the floral has to stay?
  4. I spent a good amount of time drilling, cleaning and painting. the gearbox and rear suspension with brakes are done, I am not perfect, I did break one of the white metal parts. Now I’m waiting for the replacement, but I can still move forward. So… stay tuned
  5. The tires and wheels came out great!
  6. ???????????? nice subject Paul!
  7. Just wrapped up the basic engine, too bad some of the details will be hidden when the engine is installed.
  8. I spent most of my Sunday funday prepping most of the basic engine parts. I seem to get into a nice groove and here’s the results ?
  9. Next on the Bench is a 1/12 scale 2003 Bentley Speed 8 by Model Factory Hiro. This car claimed victory in the 24 hours of Le Mans in 2003, from my understanding this was a marriage between Bentley and Audi, which set in motion for the development of the Audi R8 and so on,that dominated the LMP class throughout the early 2000’s Hopefully I build a decent representation of this iconic car.
