Custom 1/12th McLaren F1 GTR model...

[Peloton25]

Well our newest member 'Thorst' dropped these in my inbox and asked me to share them. The photo quality isn't the greatest (I've done my best to clean them up) but you get the idea.

This thing looks mighty impressive to me!









Click each photo for the original hi-res image he sent me. He has already commited to sending me better ones, so give us a day to work that out and get them posted.

So that the forum doesn't miss out on our conversation, I'll post the important bits here. I asked Thorst about the custom bits on this 1/12th scale car and here's his reply:

"Yes, I have manufactured and improvised many details on my custom drksilver.
See the rims, they're totally rebuild, not just painted, you wont belive how long it took me to get that quite right.
The downforce/spoiler set is also hand made by myself and I've added tons of detail which is difficult to catch with my crappy camera.
The wheelnuts actually have BMW emblems in them!
The color I choose for the interior olso makes it difficult to take a clean pic.
I've spent about a year building and rebuilding things to have it the way I like it."

RAD is a word I would use too.

More photos have arrived - again, I have cleaned them up a bit, but they are clickable for the originals he sent if you are interested.









And another attempt at the interior shot:



Thanks also to mini magic for allowing me to host the hi-res shots in his SC.net forum.
