    Always a shame when that happens. I have Ferrari T4 that's been at a very similar stage for about 40 years!

    Welcome back. Happy fettling as they say in Northern England.

    Lack of comments doesn't mean a lack of interest from me. Great build. Thanks for sharing.

    Judging by the RAF in the 70s, you never can have too many Matra pods. Yours look pretty sharp btw. Anyway time to go back to all things Williams I think. Sorry to hijack your thread Nick

    Really enjoying this thread. Your printer looks like it gets worked much harder than mine. LoL. Hadn't realised that part of the FW07 upgrade to "B" variant was to add Matra or SNEB rocket pods. That would have livened up overtaking in a way that DRS can't quite manage.😀 More seriously, thanks again for sharing. Nick

    Hi FB, Having played a lot with Blender, those sorts of artifacts crop up from time to time. Ive come across it on two occasions. If you use a decal, which doesn't seem likely, Blender gets upset by two surfaces occupying the same space. Alternatively it may be something as simple as the normals being scrambled. If you go into edit, select all and then I think in mesh tools look for normals. Select recalculate normals. If that's not it, 'fraid I'm out of ideas. Happy hunting. I'm looking forward to your progress. I got a printer for christmas but at the moment seem to be at the contemplate-the-magnificence-of-it-all-while-being-to-over-awed-to-switch-it-on stage. Hopefully you will give the courage to actually do something. Regards Nick

    Almost looks achievable by us mere mortals. Not! 😆 Thanks again

    XMald Thanks for sharing your build. What a beautiful, crazy machine. Not sure I would have wanted a ride though! Its all a bit too see-through! Thanks Nick

    There's a good series of videos about refurbing a more conventional 917. One episode showed the engine being removed. . It worked but it looked very tight. The other showed it being put back. Different car and engine. It will be interesting to see how the model compares. At least you wont risk your fingers. Regards Nick

    Hi Sohappy, Love the ambition. Harrier is a fav of mine too. "Annoyingly, despite the considerable size of the kit, all the controls have relatively restricted pathways as there are either gear doors or a turbine or other obstruction blocking most routes... Was quite a fiddle." The control runs on the real thing were not much better judging from some of the pictures. 😀 Nick
