Wow! What scale is it, it looks so precise and detailed! Well done!
1:8 scale Adam. It's a beast!
Nice! It really is amazing the amount of detail you have put into this + past models. You really must take time putting these together, it jooks so neat! I could never have the time and patience to do it. I would throw it out the window when one of the parts stuck to my fingers
I used to have that problem until I built my new workshop. It's in the basement - no windows!
My god, that looks amazing! Keep us posted dude!

Nice..............Quite a while just to install the turbo and air intake. I would never have the patience to do it that good.
Carsnut - I actualy thought that I was moving pretty quickly. The last two models I've built required 1600 hours (over two years) and 750 hours (over 11 months) respectively. I figure I'll get this one done in less than 9 months. That's almost a record for me.
wow.....1600 hours?! damn, how many parts do your 1:8 scale cars have? 1500?
They usually include 2000+ parts. The 1600 hour project was a 1932 Rolls-Royce Phantom II. There were 875 individual pieces in the wheels alone and the entire body and interior were scratch-built. Now that was a project.
That is very, very detailed! Nice work!
Next time you post a photo, could you put, say, an ordinary 1/24 scale model next to it so we can get an idea of the size?
It's not how fast you go, it's how much fun you have getting there
Anyone who buys a car now for around 30,00 pounds and doesn't buy one of these is either mad, or boring.

How's this Digitor...
