chris4q Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I've been thinking of scratch building a highly detailed F1 slot car and this car gets the juices flowing I thought you guys may want to see this car. I bought this off ebay about 5 years ago. It's a 1/12 scale McLaren MP4/6 Honda by Tamiya and built by legendary master modeler Andy Matthews from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lots of scratch built parts and milling going on here. Amazing detail and of course, it's the last car Senna won the world title in. It was a lot of fun shooting this car and I also did some photoshop work showing the motor through the cowling. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeker589 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Both my son and I said -"Oh my gawd!" Does it come with little laptops and a crew of miniature technicians to get it started? That is one beautiful scale replica! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
