I love watching the parts made from multiple materials. Making all four spats like that is a lot of work but your model deserves nothing less.

The resin front axle tends to bend / sag with the wheels on - see if i can correct this with a copper sleeve glued to the axle in between the springs - if Harold can do a kit - the axle will have to use an alu, or copper tube in place of the resin …

As always, I’m way behind on checking out the build threads that I have been following.  I caught up on this one during the F1 race this morning.  I truly admire the amount of work and attention to detail that you have put in this car. Fantastic!

This thing is simply gorgeous, Andy. Fabulous work!

[Pierre Rivard]

It sure is.

And don't do the little Delage stunt of just posting a so so picture of the car in this section saying it's all done. We demand a complete set of pictures in the under glass section...or else...??

Precise, exquisitely detailed replica. Most of us are just assembling kits but you my friend are a true model builder.

Nothing less than masterful!

I prefer scotch whisky and I'll drink one in your honor, not that I need an excuse but... ?

Thanks to all 

i’m in Salt Lake City - and there swims in the replica class those monsters that keep me up at night - i’ll try to post a video this weekend - the tables are full - with a full day left to enter - and the quality is off the charts - the judges are going to hate each other by about 2 Am sun morning …
