  1. Randy Thank you for the compliment. This is a out of the box build, MFH kits have a lot of detail included in their kits. But if you wanted there is room for more.
  2. I have been a little busy. Bruce some more inspiring stuff for you ?
  3. Thanks Bruce, hopefully you’ll get your mojo back!
  4. Started the interior- peddle assembly and shifter
  5. What have you been up to, anything interesting?
  6. Just some more photos of this build. I wonder if I should stop sharing?
  7. This is where I am at, the tub is painted and the gear box is done. On to the next item
  8. Most of the engine is complete, just some glamorous shots.
  9. A couple of things I accomplished the other night Fuel injection pump, 14 parts. Not including the hoses.
  10. It all depends on how you look at it. The bigger the size the the kit is going to cost for sure. For instance this kit is around $650-700. The re released Tamiya Porsche is about $160-200, but the scale motor sports detail set is over $800. And you still need glue and paint. I have gone both routes on 1/12 kits. If you have a minute look at my Ferrari 312T build I finished about 6 months ago, I have about a thousand into it. thanks for looking Chris
  11. Thanks! I think if you can get over the initial cost of one and take a few hours of studying the directions, it’s not all that bad. It is, a test of your skills
  12. I was able to get some more stuff done on the flat 6 Enjoy ?
  13. That’s a sweet looking kit, I like your idea? no worries buddy! I think a break is a great idea, I get what you’re saying about overwhelming
  14. More work on the engine, all I need to do is wire the ignition to complete step #2 thanks for looking
  15. I am always taken aback by the talent a machinist has, especially when his vision comes alive. I will be watching ? it is amazing that these types of cars can corner at a decent speed
  16. I spent the last couple evenings prepping, priming and painting. The photos show the sequence on how it goes together, just like the directions. This is just step #1 thanks for looking
  17. Not much to show, I did spend a few hours sorting through a lot of small white metal parts. I was trying to get them in order per instruction sheet. It is quite tedious, the parts are not marked, so you need to look at the pictures. Speaking of pictures there are no color call outs for most of the model. You have to do a bunch of research ?. these are all parts for step one. I also have to pay attention to which side is the intake side(pic#3)and the exhaust side(pic#4) still need to clean and prime before I paint
  18. I feel you! I did take your lead I started on the wheels, I may opt out on the discs
  19. No time to go nuts. But it is a Porsche! Lol
  20. Very cool ?
