Sweet!

Great old-school scratch building, Thomas!

Nice step-by step on removing scratches from and polishing canopies. Thanks!

Outstanding work, John. I'm really enjoying this build! Cheers, Rockie

Well done! What a beast - love your finish! Cheers, Rockie

Love it! Great idea to use the bent wire to hold the toothpicks in place. I saw Alain's post and was thinking of using small dabs of Bluetack, but your solution is much better. Cheers, Rockie

Looking great already, looking forward to more!

Cheers, Rockie ------------------------------------------------------ Good evening, British Racing Green is in the spotlight! I love this magnificent little F1: Thin, racy, equipped with a BRM engine with an unusual architecture (it's an H16) ... and it's a Lotus! The kit is really superb and the assembly is one of the smartest I have ever seen. So I started this build on November 21 ... with an end goal for early 2021. There will be some rivets to install... The bodywork elements are all drilled to accommodate the riveting in 0.5 and 0.4. Part of the assembly is secured by screws; the holes are drilled and tapped at 1.4. The underside of the chassis is stripped of the embossed Classic Team Lotus logo and a die-cut aluminum foil for the new flat bottom. After the blank assembly of the hull, I immediately proceeded to cut the thermoformed windshields: I will be quieter during the final assembly. The start of the construction of the engine validates the correct installation of its support on the frame, among other things. I take this opportunity to make all the holes intended to receive all the accessories and equipment of the 16 cylinders. I took 2 piston / connecting rod assemblies from the engine for a (maybe) later use.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, John. Hoping for a quick and full recovery. Rockie

Plus-one on the complements. I really like your paintwork!

Beautiful build and finish!

Great build and finish!

Great start!

Sweet! great work in the 'pit.

Great choice, Oleg! Hey Maru, can I have some popcorn too? Great, thanks!

Stupendous work, Chris! And thanks for the picture showing the blue, yellow and red areas for the bezels sprayed on the IP. I never thought of doing that first! Cheers, Rockie

Looking really nice! Cool tool organizer you have there too. I may have to steal that idea. Cheers, Rockie

Love it!

Lovely choice. I'm looking forward to following along. Cheers, Rockie

Beautiful! Just went back through this thread, love your work on the cockpit and engine bay!

Beautiful recovery, Fabio!

Looks awesome! Will follow along with interest. Cheers, Rockie
