No I currently don't, but must admit I have totally Cognitive dissonance with regards to them. That is part of me sort of think they're cheating and another part of me really admires what can be done with them and I'm more than happy to buy 3d printed parts (I have currently added parts from 4 different manufacturers on my Mini alone). I'm sure its only a matter of time, but I think my biggest concern is I think my build rate will be even slower. So at the moment I'm more than happy to marvel yours and the others on this forum who have totally mastered it. - PS. The alpine looks flawless.

Beautiful work on the driver and the Delage isn't too bad either 😄, its definitely giving me some inspiration for a future build - Andy

Wow your not hanging around with this one, but also managing to keep up your usual impeccable standards - Andy

Very neat work, she's definitely looking the part now - Andy

Nice to see this back on the bench and I agree the dashboard looks great, however I think you've set the clock to the wrong time 😁😆 - Andy

Well it's definitely a V8 spot of the day 😁 - Andy (and before anyone comments I did notice the mustang!)

The exhaust is now installed. As ever macro photography doesn't do the car any favours. In reality she doesn't have that camber and there is no colour difference between the header and exhaust. In keeping with the Italian Job Coach the lights had to be yellow I did spray the grill chrome, however as its 3d printed the surface is not perfectly flat, so the effect is mot as shiny as I hoped. Finally her rear I've added a photoetch belt to the boot from the spares box. The reflectors on the bottom of the lights was an absolute pain to mask. It was only after I finally painted them I discovered that a decal is included in the kit. Just goes to show even though there is very little of the original kit in the car still read the instructions 😀. Thanks for looking - Andy

Very cool subject and I really hope you display her with the engine cover removed to show off that awesome engine. - Andy

Exquisite as ever, I just wish this kit was commercially available. - Andy

Really looking the part now. - Andy

Certainly do, very restrained wear and tear, but very realistic too - Andy

What he said 😁

The engine is definitely shaping up to be something very special - Andy

Well Nick, you totally nailed that, both the build and photography. Already looking forward to your next one - Andy

Absolutely gorgeous. Making something as delicate as the camera and its mount at that scale is truly impressive - Andy
