Complete! 1/12 Tamiya Williams FW14b

[racer93]

Yep, guilty as charged! I must have been focused in--I don't remember seeing you. I wasn't excited about the 4 hour drive. The last two were in DRIVING rains that were coming down at the rate of 2-3 inches PER HOUR. Not fun to drive in!

It was good to see you at the show! I swear, I was in line and saw you talking with (can't remember his name from Scale Auto) about your Carrera GT and I thought to myself, "I know him--where do I know him from?" I could not place you for the life of me. Then, talking to you, I realized you had changed glasses. It makes you look A LOT younger. Weird how that works, so take it as a complement!

Thanks for the kind words, Bob! Coming from someone of your talent, I certainly appreciate that greatly. I'm really hoping to come down with Chopper to the ACME show in a few weeks. Hopefully, all the stars line up just right! Trying to get away from the wife with 3 and 5 year old boys isn't easy...

Gorgeous work! Everything looks immaculate. That's all incredible detail work. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing! So...what next?

Hope you didn't get flooded...I'm about 100 miles north of you and it was a nasty weekend here, but not as bad as you guys!

No we didn't but thanks for asking. On the way back from the Toledo NNL Saturday night (got back around 11pm), I had 2 solid hours of driving through TORRENTIAL rain! (From Dayton to Louisville.) It wasn't fun at all...

Next, I'm not sure. I am thinking of a few--MFH Brabham BT46b (fan car), MFH Toleman TG183b (Senna test), full detail Tamiya Yamaha YZR-M1 '09 (with Top Studio set) or the Tamiya Pennzoil JGTC Skyline with the white metal engine set for full engine detail and full trunk detail as well. I'm feeling kinda open and undecided right about now...

I was just kidding around about it. No harm, no foul.

No Harm taken Daniel - I should have re-read my question before I posted it - My mistake

You really have a a fantastic scale replica that you have built - I think every bit on par with Bil Atteridge's Ferrari 641 and McLaren MP4/6.

I have not seen a better FW14B than this on the forums I brouse.

Really Congrats Daniel - I hope to see you enter this build in contests and get the recognition it deserves

That is lovely, well done

Personally, I would love to see you build this one, just my thoughts

Me too--it could have been disastrous, no?

Sweet mother of Hades!!!! Supreme job!

Absolutely awesome skills and level of detail work, you can see where all of the time has gone, no idea why thread only has 4 stars, I am going to give it 5!

This build up IS fantastic! Now as someone new to F1 where does someone find/do the research for the 1:1 to accomplish this or even something close. Magazines, this site of course, and ...? Thanks for any info.

Great work done on the F1 detailed, this is a great model built for you

The net (gurneyflap.com is great) and a GREAT CD that I got from eBay. It was absolutely worth it. Search eBay US or in the UK and you'll find it. Over 600 pics. Great stuff.
