thanks a lot for that link. i had been looking for information on the mirage cars, especially the dashboard area, for a long time. and that page just has one on there as well. incredible. i wish i had that link about half a year ago, back when we were still working on preparing the (3d) models for the 1967 gt sportscar mod for GPL. ah well. i'll save the references anyway
as for your work, again it's genious. i love the idea of using the lathe to get the ribbon for the tubing. seeing it now makes you slap your forhead muttering "obvious" but coming up with that idea in the first place, wow.

SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!....a masterpiece in scale I would love the display of a "panel off" version and a fully finished one side by side, it will not only show the amazing craftmanship and detail but also the actual structural shape and detail of the real thing wich you have capture so well in your model.

Du travail superbe. Il ya pas beaucoup de personnes qui peuvent exécuter du travail comme ça.

Vraiment c'est fou. Avez vous les plans de cette voiture pour être en mesure de tout fabrique a la main?

Avez vous d'autres maquette comme ça que je puise voir les photos.

Merci
