Maverick Pro Stock/Match Racer

Thank you Ian & Robert.....this piece tested me too.....I admit that it took me so long on the first part of this piece as it wasn't centered when I removed it from the mill, so a re-do.   

This upper body part is 2 pieces actually and the "base as I call it turned out perfect (super tight tolerances) and while cleaning it up....BING......off to never never land and not to be seen again, so, another re-do.......here's 2 pics showing it right now and I'm tickled with it and the last pic is showing a magnetized steel scrawl that I use to pick up teeny bolts with to place them in their holes.  No tweezers have ever been created to do this task.  IF the bolts aren't steel but alum. or brass I simply take a small glue applicator, remove the end, apply some spit (yuck right?) and use that to pick them up.  Works amazingly well!   cheers, tim

Rest assured that I am really interested in seeing this complex piece come to fruition, it's the kind of detail I like the most and you excel at it!   As I can see, there is not one element that will be forgotten, I really like it!

This part is done except I'll shave down the bottom portion (the lower half of the "body") as it's about .3 or .4 to tall.....not sure how I missed that.  Not looking forward to the final assembly as this thing is so darn small.  cheers everyone, tim

I will media blast it before final assembly too btw........

For someone like me, who doesn’t know much about machining, it is not always easy to appreciate the amount of time it must take to create these exquisite miniatures, but it’s certainly easy to appreciate the result!

Unlike Brian, I know exactly how much time and effort went into making these little gems of precision!  What is certain is that you don't need to be a machinist to admire the result of the passion of the hand that made them!  Let the show go on! 👌

It’s great to see you making great progress. It seems the torn muscle isn’t slowing you down. Sure hope you keep up the good pace on this beautiful build.

Tim, AGAIN my mind is numb from staring and trying to imagine how you replicate these pieces of art that will be added to the larger overall car when completed! You are a source of inspiration, knowledge, and eagerness to share your 3D art.
