Cheers folks!

For those of you that are interested, here are a few shots that show the engine. To be honest I didn't put masses of effort into the engine, although I did try a few new things like filling small gaps between piping/exhaust, "better" spring painting (you'll notice different shock/spring colours), etc, that I hadn't tried before.

On my next F1 kit I'll try to add in custom built wiring and proper coil springs. My Tyrrell Yamaha 023 is still in the mail, I'm going nuts waiting for it!!! I could always just start the Leyton House... hmmm...


1. Note the different shock absorber colours, where I was playing around with different painting methods. My main lesson was; use good quality brushes, and have a steady hand, and you can't go far wrong. And don't be afraid to fork out a few dollars for new brushes when the old ones start to go. Good quality brushes really do make a hell of a difference!




2. Ferrari F189 in the background.




3. My babies...




Damn I can't wait to build some more...!
