[SeaBee]

Hooooly cow! Great job, robrex. This is really a good motivation to get going on mine! Superb...

[RallyRaider]

The detail on the nose is just amazing.
Wanna build my FW24 for me Rob?

[Whumbachumba]

Those seatbelts! My 1:1 belts don't even look that good! This is a beautiful build you have going. I can't wait to see the next updates.

very nice to see it in person it has given me some passion again to start building again so home i went and out came the kits. And thanks for the etch set

[brettly]

you are a true professional rob..you have inspired me to attempt my 'first' tamiya kit which i intend to purchase over the coming week...i have actually just finished the 2 lego kits (F1/Enzo) and after seeing a glimpse of your work have decided to take this hobby up full-time..hope you do another Ferrari down the track ..once again thanks for your sharing your work

[Marcelo Teles]

Wow!!! Magic Rob is back!!
Great work my friend, you push us to make better models, thanks.
Cheers,
Marcelo.

there's something wrong with my tamiya fw24, as it looks nothing like yours, rob.



seriously, i am blown away. i'm building the fw24 with the scale motorsports super kit -- it was a bit too ambitious for my first-ever project -- and i'm looking at mine right now and thinking "i suck."

Thanks for all the encouraging comments! I guess now that I have 3 weeks leave I need to post some updates??

Update:
I have had quite a few distractions lately. First I had a meeting with a little Ferrari and then during my first week of holidays I moved my workshop here are some quick shots


(Sorry for the poor picture quality if more photo's are requested I'll do a finished thread on this car, once it's totally finished!)


I'm finally back working on the Williams.
I've started on both sidepods.






Also completed are the nose and the steering wheel (I still need to add some wiring here)



and I've also finished all the front suspension


I'll have some more updates VERY soon.
Thanks

Hi Robrex,

Nice work on the steering wheel (the fabric looks purrfick). Good luck with the wiring as that'll fast become spaghetti junction :-). I might have guessed your workarea would have been so well laid out... wish I had the space! Keep the updates coming... as you know we modellers are an insatiable bunch. :-)

All the best,
BillyPee
