wimbledon99 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks Both Shaun, I removed them from behind with a Dremel. This meant minimal cutting from the front with just some filing to tidy things up. Rishi, The PE parts fit behind the vents and replace the plastic grills completely.

heloman1 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Looking very tasty. I've always like the safety cars as a way of modelling something different with the racing field. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Managed get a spurt on and finish this lady over the last couple of days. She'll not win any competitions but I think she looks good on the shelf. Hope you like her. Thanks to those who have kept me company during the build. Cheers.

Hamden Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That really is a superb result, I enjoyed watching this come together immensely It's going to be a hard act to follow! Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi Roger, Thank you I've really enjoyed this build - especially due to my love of F1. I have a 1/12 Williams in a cupbord with just the engine built. I purchased it thinking bigger was better but soon realised that's not always the case with static builds. However, it may make a good subject for a KUTA GB!! Cheers Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi Nigel. Hope you are keeping well. That looks excellent! I really like the look of that and it looks great with the other two. Well done. Now there's still a while until the BoB GB so what's next? Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Hi Stix, Thank you Work is really soaking up my time at the moment and whilst I was hoping to do something between now and the start of the BoB GB, I'm not sure that will happen That however will not stop me from dropping into Britmodellor a couple of times a week Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
