Yamaha YZR-M1 & McLaren MP4/5B finnished

[Richy C]

Slowly starting to finnish some kits for a change , the YZR was a dream to make and a great learning curve the McLaren was a bit more challenging being nearly 20 yrs old with fit issues etc , both kits were bought cheap of ebay to find my feet before I start a few bike and car/F1 projects when the GB has finnished

apart from the fag decals on the mclaren both kits were out of the box builds

any comments good or bad are always welcome

Cheers

Richy

Great work on both.

Did you make your own bases or did you buy them?

Gorgeous finish, very clean builds which these need to be. Great work, the bar just gets higher on Bikes and Cars Richy and you are the one pushing that bar upwards. Hard act to follow but inspired to try.

The quality of kits some of you guys put together is amazing. Another two beauties here Richy!

If things go on like this I think I'll end up sitting at the other end of Graham's bench - only I'll be writing my crosswords and not knitting. All that K1, P2 repetition would remind me far too much of individual track links!
