Thank you everyone,  much appreciated. 

I was asked to take a few pictures of the Hydra next to my other models.

They are all 1/12 scale! The hydra is a beast.

I printed all the parts for the control console set up, should turn out good.

Amazing project to follow. What an enormous car !

What's next Francois?          Will you be resurrecting that old Pocber Rolls you bought some time ago ?

Thank you Bugatti fan.  Not sure what the next one will be yet, I might take a little break.  But I still need to do the display case for this one first. The top cover for the control console is finished complete with 2 levers to control the car lights and cubes plus 2 handwheels for controlling the motor and display lighting. Speaking of the display lighting, I found 2 types old theater spot lights. Both could be free standing or mounted on the display structure. Maybe 1 spot per corner aimed at the model?  TBD...

Old theater spot lights,  l like both styles but I think the second one if more "Marvelish" in a doomsday/death ray kinda way.

Any thoughts/comments welcomed

The control console is all done, and it was a pain to do. A lot of wiring and let's say wiring is not my specialty.  Hopefully,  everything will work as planned once hooked up to the car. I tested the circuits with a small light buld as I went along and for now, it all works. I might do a bit of weathering eventually.
