Re: Progress - Tamiya Ferrari 312T3

Just one question - Can I move into your workshop for a bit to watch and learn? I'll sweep the floor, bring you coffee, walk the dog.....

Cosmic level (again)

With the amount of work you are doing and the accuracy that is apparent, I think the only way I will be disappointed is if it doesn't start at the end. Rob you are amazing.

Re: Progress - Tamiya Ferrari 312T3

STEP 4 (sorry I forgot the rear brake ducts)
I drilled the kit items out and thinned them to better replicate the fibre-glass originals. Next they were sprayed with 'thick' white laquer to get a rough stringy finish, then I washed them with a brown ink.

Awesome work Rob! It really looks like the real one to me! I can’t understand how you have the time and patience to make everything so detailed. Keep it up!
