Hey everyone, this is where I will drop finished photos from everyone's builds. I'll keep them all in this initial post with a link to the group build threads so folks can go back and look through the build easily from here. Thanks to all for joining!

1. First up, completing his Grand Chelem of pole position, fastest lap and the win is 2whl  with his beautiful Ferrari 158 from MFH.

You’re not wrong. With the speed and the quality he’s definitely just as good as they were. Lol.

You guys are killing me. These are all FANTASTIC! I'm going to be hard pressed to put anything together to this level. Wow.

...and people have been posting finished builds for more than a month. I'm past the peak here at work, but not done yet. I hope I can finally get back here regularly soon. Have hardly been able to poke my head in here for months.

An all orange McLaren would fit right in here!! Plenty of time still too, so no worries at all.

I ordered a couple of their primers, and a few basecoats for various projects. Will pose my questions re: application in the GB thread.

1st visit to the gallery as I'm still trying to find my way around the site. I'm totally blown away by not only the number of finished open wheel builds already across the finish line, but the quality of each is truly amazing. A special thumbs up to Paul for turning out 1/12 scale MFH kits faster then I can manage to finish just one 1/20 scale Tamiya F1 car that's nearly as old as I am.

Late to the party but here is my first entry in the Open Wheel Group Build 🙏

The Yamaha Tyrrell 023 driven by Mika Salo in the 1995 F1 season:

[project510]

Killer job on this Adrian. I love the blue and white livery on this car. This was the year prior to me getting into racing. I wish I could have seen more of it back then haha.

[kyledehart5]

Beautiful Adrian. I’m going to grab a couple of these photos and slide them into the top post along with a link to your excellent build thread. Thanks again for joining in!!

[kyledehart5]

Updated gallery again for anyone who wants to catch up!!

[arcticwolf]

Adrian always manages to get paint finishes that look like wet glass. Just beautiful man.

[joelw]

Adrian,
Just a super build with one of you "Alien" paint finishes. Simply flawless by any standard.

[joelw]

So far every single completed GB entry is truly outstanding, and just sets the bar higher for the rest of us to shoot for.
