  1. No golf for this guy...I don’t need another expensive/time consuming hobby. just a quick update I probably spent a couple of hours drilling the holes out for the rivets. I found out from my friend Bruce (brudda) I need to get a tumbler that polish’s brass to use on the white metal parts. This way I can make it as realistic as I can. Also need some metric drill bits fun times coming Chris
  2. Looks really good! I like a well behaved serpent
  3. I have been collecting parts for this build for about a year of searching on e bay. I was just going to do the 78 version with the after market parts I collected. But one morning I stumbled on a MFH conversation kit. So here I am, I don’t know how long this will take. I just hope I can do it justice by taking my time. I will not be using the rain tires. That’s about it. I started on the fuel cell. I spent about 45 min filing and drilling for the rivets. And I am not even close to being ready for primer.
  4. Great progress! Looking good... I’ll be looking for more. ?
  5. That’s “BITCHEN”!!
  6. Looks great!! I am a little hesitant to try weathering. I feel it’s a art form all on it’s own. Waiting for your next update
  7. Looks great! You should be proud
  8. Tim. Amazing as always.. keep up the good fight..
  9. Thanks again Bruce & Bruce! Laughingindian you should try one...totally different than a sedan or sports car
  10. Thanks Tim... All I need is a machinist to make some cool parts.. who knows where things will go. I was playing around with the portrait settings on my I phone ? Hope to see a update on your amazing project! Chris

  12. Thank you all for your kind words. I agree on the tail pipes...There will be a 2.0 version down the road
  13. I agree I must see this movie as well
  14. It’s a Tamiya kit, added some extra detail that wasn’t in the kit. I think MFH makes a 1/20
  15. Thank you all!!
  16. I have spent the better part of 2 years on this build. I do have a thread in the Big boys section. Hope you like Chris
  17. Hello all. After a couple of years of off and on time to put this build together, I finally have finished. I will say the journey has been fun, frustrating and a big learning experience. After looking over the finished product I have decided that I will re do this car again. I see some room for improvement! I would like to say thanks to all that have posted kind words. It does mean a lot!! And for all you people out there just stopping by, Thank you as well. I will be soon starting another project soon. Chris
  18. Thanks, I appreciate it I hope to see more F1 cars on this board.I have another one to start soon. ?
  19. I got the rear wing installed, windshield & I put the nose on just for the pictures. All I have left to do is rear view mirrors and wheels and tires... With the rain and cold weather I will have to wait. Thanks again for your kind words. It does mean a lot to me. Chris
  20. ???
  21. Thanks Bruce! Really appreciated
  22. I don’t think anyone will know if it’s the correct or not. It does look really good. I will be looking forward for more updates!
  23. Looks more and more amazing every time you share a update. Waiting for more Sir
  24. Getting there. I had a chance to finish the exhaust, hang the sway bar links and attach the trumpets. Hope you like. Chris
  25. Looks like it fell right into place! Was it a plumbing nightmare?
