The Nylon Gag MK2 F1 Magneto Skimmer

That looks fantastic. Looking forward to the next update.

The detail colors on the engines, are those clears or opaque? I am looking for colors to use myself end thought clear red,yellow, green and blue would work.

I just spent an hour catching up on this build........... wow, I need a cigarette! :p I can't tell you how siked I am to see this. You are a wizard! Subscribed?!? DUH!!!!!! :) Keep up the great work, my friend. One of these days you will have to make a kit of one of your scratch-builds so you can retire... but I hope you never stop building models.
 
Thanks for the encouraging words guys

The technical term for this type of building is bodge-it-and-scarper technoligies
I know the rough shape I want i just don't have foam and a vac former to hand right now, so super glue streach with masking tape and bend that styrene people,

This is my method, remember, everything can be filled and sanded,

You are mad.
Great post, clear pictures!

Outside of the creativity and obvious building skills which stand by themselves, he never fails to give us pictures that show everything in detail with clarity. That kind of quality is stupid-good. Just sayin.
 
Evenin All,






Thanks for stopping by guys. I appreciate it.







Your pedals are upside down!

Fantastic work and great attention to detail.



Thanks for pointing this out mate, I knew they looked wrong but couldn't put my finger on why and then you commented and that was that, my peddles were upside down, so I corrected that,
