MarkM Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Decided to get back into modelling as find it quite therapeutic and love making things. This is the first model I have made in over 10 years so not perfect but pretty happy with it as a starter!! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Looks good, well done, you should be proud of that I've got one of those in the stash to build at some point, alongside all the other Senna McLarens Nice finish on the paint, especially like the exhaust what did you use to get that finish? Not 100% sure what dance move the engineer is trying to pull off though, could it be the Macarena 🤔 Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol know what you mean the engineer certainly has a strange stance 😂 His hand is supposed to be on a large call button, might add some cables between the radio, button and headset to make it look a bit more believable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsjmse Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 A great return! Very nice McLaren . What safety belts did you use in the cockpit? Were they in the kit or aftermarket? Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xffw45343tg Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Great stuff! I have an inkling that the "engineer" was modelled on Ron Dennis judging by the image on the box. I think the massive "PTT" switch is realistic for late 80's - I'll take a look in one of my reference books tomorrow. Your added detail to the car looks spot on.
