[Mark W]

This will be one I will be following.

[charlie libby]

back so soon.glad to hear fromm you .this will be another big project. got a little start on the body today ,this is 1/12 scale. in between working on the 55. outside half of the front fenders are next them soldering . i am going to practice a little first.

This is another level of modeling. Molding a body on a buck is a talent I can only wish I had.

This will be most interesting. Are you making this a full build?

This is going to make my Cox slot car conversion to full detail look pretty ordinary!!

Go for it.

Alu soldering - a black art …

The Cheetah is a bit of an oddity as a car. Either you like it or you do not. It does not appeal to me personally like Charlie's concept Bugatti, but that is just personal taste.

But, I do like following Charlie's work, regardless of subject matter. Fascinating to learn from the techniques he uses as a retired engineer myself makes his projects all the more interesting to me. His working in Aluminium on this model will be really worth following.

Imagine that?

In case this has been misconstrued, and to clarify my comment, I do happen to like Charlie's concept Bugatti very much. 

 It's the Cheetah that does not appeal to me as subject matter.

Aahhhhh, no Dave your Cheetah is awesome. Now this build is on the next level.

Really can’t compare it to our plastic kits. I’ll never attempt anything like this, but I’ll follow it every step of the way!

Another super ambitious project. This will be an interesting watch, for sure.
