Great work Bobby. I struggle with great big lumps of metal called tanks that have no innards, so can't imagine taking on anything as streamlined and good looking as this. Keep up the good work.

I'll get my proper camera on this tomorrow, there's too much bokeh and grain on my phone. There is some lovely detail in this.

Hi Andrew
I'm not really into race cars but I can certainly appreciate the patience and skill which you're putting into this build. Looking very good although very fragile. Shame about the seat. Some of the kit makers really do need to get their customer service sorted out.

I will indeed. I just have rigging to go but I need more space than currently available to do it. Once the small person has moved out, I'll have my desk back and will take on the challenge.

It's actually a lot sturdier than it looks. All those little spindly bits won't take any load - I think... This is one reason I avoid 1/20 cars, there's always something too weak to do the job.
