This will be worth watching! Is that CF material just pressed into the resin or did you use some vacuum process? I'd be interested to know if the strength and support is still high if it's just pressed in.

Pressing it in the resin should give the whole structure more rigidity (enough for a scale model), even if there is no special vacuum treatment involved. Even the resin alone is enough for that, but I guess he used the CF tissue because the part is very thin.

... did you use some vacuum process? ...
No, I didn't. There was only one lay of CF, and an epoxy resin applying by a paintbrush. The strenght is enough for this thin detail.
Who knows where is a fuel tank on this Revell's 850i? :confused:

what did you use to do that roof mold, and what did you used to cast it?

Are those Supra wheels? they look fantastic on that car! I love what you did for the fuel tank. The roof mod is outstanding as well. I can't wait to see what else you do with this car.

I love your work very much! And most of all your dedication to detail and perfection.
One question: doesn't it bothering you that you have so many projects in the middle?

Yeah! With that much attention to detail and that many kits to build, You will be atleast 100 years old by the time you finish all of them. "Just kidding." I do wonder why you never purchase the Tamiya version instead. It is a hard to find kit but much better in detail. But with your skills, I'm sure this one will turn out looking great.

That roof fabrication was very impressive. From the photo's I'd have sworn it was molded with the body if I hadn't seen it copied with my own eyes.
BTW, in your WIP collection photos I noticed a front and rear clip for a McLaren. Is that from a kit?
