Robert, not showing off

I had no idea myself until a couple of weeks ago. I had been researching this car for a long time but, as you know yourself, reference materials of the CdF version are rarer than water in a desert!!

Just a couple of weeks ago I was surfing the web looking for some more paint info and I came across Jan's personal site dedicated to Didier Pironi. I saw he had some pictures that I hadn't seen before so I emailed him and he kindly sent me the jpgs.

These 2 indicated that the CdF exhaust was:
a) a huuuge single tail pipe; and
b) white

(Note that I didn't go so far as to try and cut out the nice shape at the end of the pipe

(slacker I am!) )

I LOVE that second shot!!

BTW I still don't know if/how I am going to do the race lights above the side number stickers

You are doing a fantastic job! Keep up!

CeeElle · 07-05-2007, 10:45 AM

wow... the paint and decals look INCREDIBLE, and i feel your pain with the six-point harnesses. i made one for a porsche 904 that i can't seem to finish and hated every minute of it!

i haven't had even a minute to do any modeling, let alone even log on to this place, for the past two weeks, and i apologize. i haven't been ignoring you!

i'm going to go work on the 365 now... not even gonna check other threads until i get at least enough work done to post an update. it's self-punishment.

There's absolutely nothing to even begin feeling bad about! Enjoy everything at your own pace and I look forward to seeing your finished model when I get back form vacation in 2,5 weeks

I love this build so much, it's going to look great when finished. How long till we get to see it done?

I´m not quite sure, what you mean. And you´re right. The last shot - the car from behind - looks Mörder.

Amazingly, I have just discovered this thread today. I regret I couldnt join in all the fun in these 2 excellent wip's but starting out at page one made this seem like I was sitting down with a good book. That crazy masking and decalling job left me speechless. I can't believe what a great idea using valve stems for shocks is, typical of Stevie to come up with something like that. That engine with the breathers and miles of tubing and CeeElle's interior are masterfully done. I honestly don't know which I enjoyed more, the skills involved here or Klutz's commentary. Great work guys!

Hey, my respects to you for the amazing job you're doing with this model. About the number lights, you can look fot the ones that Sakatsu does. I use them all the time. They are made out of white metal.

Good luck!

Sure did, Kane

I am hoping to get some serious bench time this weekend but I haven't even had a minute to go into my workshop since I got back on Sunday

Should be able to post something on Monday unless....

kanedge · 07-26-2007, 11:30 AM

Where did you go for your holiday? Also, down the bottom at posting rules, it says I cant post attachments, does this mean I cant do a WIP? What is the easiest way to attach photos (I read the tips and tutorials but they didn't seem to work for me). This site is a little confusing after that other one.
