I am actually building the Revell of Germany Mclaren Mercedes MP4 driven by Jenson Buttons, the decal sheet alone is impressive but tricky to use!

Just awesome bro!!!!!!!

Very cool, very professional!

Sorry Ed, I've never really been into them, a fellow member from our club approached me and asked me if I could build one for him. I told him I have never built any but he still wanted me to build it for him. To make a long story short, I am having a lot of fun building it and it might not be the last one I do! I will probably post it but I don't think is something that people here are going to be very interested in seeing.......

Believe it or not fellas, I am currently building one right now for someone and I am having a lot of fun, with all due respect, who cares what happens in the real f1 world? It's still a cool subject!

Very cool!!!!

Very cool!!

Great job bro, love this thing!!!!

Unique and bad as heck!

Very cool!

Thank you. For the fuel lines, head over to Michael's, you will see transparent beading wire in the beading section at various gauges. For the chamois, definitely the most expensive you can afford. I paid about $16.00 for mine.

Very cool, I like this!! B)

I want ot build one bad......

Fantastic job on this, I love it man!!

Very cool man, mighty engine you got there!

Thank you guys, believe me, it's not flawless, there's a lot of mistakes on this one, you can see them if you saw it in person....

Thanks Kevin, the paintjob is nothing out of this world, I just try to always follow the basic rules, clean and smooth foundation starting with the plastic as well as the primer, wetsanding my color coats and using my polishing cloths to achieve the smoothest finish possible. I always give credit to my good friend Bill Geary for giving me a cool tip about using a chamois to wax my finishes instead of the old method I used to employ using flannel. The idea is to leave the least amount of scratches in your paint and you can do this when using chamois.

Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki I forgot to add the trunk P/E (Fordmatic) emblem and the small P/E badges on the pillars of the roof...... Got them done last night. Sorry for the picture quality, took them using my cell phone.

Thank you for all your replies fellas, I truly appreciate it! Harry, I've never had any issues with the foil oxidizing but if that were the case, you can get away with putting a coat of Future shine over it. You also mentioned and wanted to know how I get my finishes to look like this, I will answer that later, right now I am responding to this thread from my cell phone and it's quite a hassle to try to achieve this.

Hope you guys like it. I was originally thinking about lowering it more but thought that it was better to do it the way a 1950's car guy would have done his, specially with the hopped up engine in it!!! I still did had to lower it a bit more from the front since it was a tad too high. Hosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiHosted on Fotki
