Great work as always. Also a question how did you form the driveline tunnel in the interior?

Hi Bob……..I boiled some water in the Micro…….then I put the piece of styrene in the water for about 5 seconds ……..it gets really soft then I formed it around a marks allot marker to get the shape……..don`t burn yourself……….thanks

John the build is awesome. It looks like your camera struggles with tight closeups like mine does. What I do to get a better pictures it take the photo from a bit farther away. My camera can then focus. Before I post the picture I crop away most of the background. This makes the image I want bigger and you can see all the detail.

Wow! Your attention to detail is amazing! I luv all the plumbing, brakeline and trans linkage - it looks like the real deal!

[Modelbuilder Mark]

few more progress photos. thanks

Maybe I missed it, but did you form the linkage plate from brass or is it styrene that you have painted? Yeah, I absolutley hate to admit it, but I do get a bit green at times watching your progress. I have said it before, and I repeat it now...it is not just your artistry, but your speed that amazes me. I will sit at the bench for an hour tonight if I get lucky, and if I get a lick of work "done" I will be surprized. LOL
