Re: 1/8 scale Porsche 917-10

Well, I have to admit that I can't think of anything to say that is suitable to express just how impressive a model that is! Words like awesome, stunning, incredible, etc, just don't do it justice!! It's an absolutely wonderful piece of master craftsmanship! Excellent stuff!!

I sneaked a look at your profile & noticed you are in the UK, so could I ask from where do you get "thick blue insulating foam" ? Is there a trade name for it & can it be bought in small amounts? Can it be worked with normal hand tools? (& reading your descriptions of the build, it sounds like you did all that work without things like lathes - is that the case??)

And (sorry for all the questions!!), can I ask how you did the tyres & what you used for the seat harness material - the textures on both look incredibly realistic. Well, actually the whole thing looks incredibly realistic......!!

TIA

Keef
