She is a real beaut Paul! I love the small details. The brake hard lines, the hose clamps.. the accurately colored fuel lines. Fantastic!

For sure a Grand Chelem for you Paul!! That looks awesome and you are so close now

I forgot to add that I had to look up 'chelem' to see what you meant.

Just out of this world good, my friend!! It sure was a pleasure to follow along with your build and you knocked this one out of the park. Can’t wait to watch your work on the next one!

Thanks Kyle

Thanks James.  You just reminded me about two fuel lines I meant to add.  I'll go do those now.

Thanks Paul.


I posted the completed build on the Open Wheel forum, and one of the guys wanted to see some pictures with the bodywork off.  So I took a couple of pics this morning.

1st chance I had to get caught up in your Ferrari 158 build. And my 1st question as soon as I got to your tumble is exactly what it does, and how it does it. Great explanation. From the looks of it, does a lot of the smaller pcs especially rods get bent out of shape? Now back to my read.

Beautiful prancing horse my friend, so much detail and clean all around - what a project to tackle and you did it more than justice

[joelw]

Paul,
Just amazed at the spark plug wiring on the engine.

Paul,
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!

Im just blown away at the finished build with the body work off. Tons and tons of detail straight from the box expertly painted and installed. Truly a masterpiece.

Chelem…Sort of an outdated term these days. However I have watched for too many old races and the terminology was much more fun back then. Grand chelems, rostrums, cars that sound good. All things of the past. Lol!

Joel, I imagine the thinner rods would get bent if I put them in with something big.  But I try to judge the amount of white metal I put in versus their size.  Big chassis pieces get put in one at a time.  when I do smaller stuff it's only about 10 pieces.

Thank you very much Joel.  But I wouldn't call it a masterpiece because I know where the warts are. 

[deafpanzer]

Totally stunning work there!!!

[joelw]

Paul,
But none of us even knew that there were any warts.
