Progress: 787B

Ok, so I'm sorta waitin' on some final bits before I get the Galaxie done so here's what I've started in the meant time. This project is about a week old, but I wanted to have some progress to show before I posted. I'm using the Scale Motorsport photoetch and Carbon Fiber template set. The set is very nice. It forces me to make some extra detail. I spent today wiring the motor. 12 wires! My eyeballs hurt now, but it was well worth it. I'm about 1/3 done with the motor, did the side with the sparkplugs, some of the top an some of the intake/exhaust side. After that... the gearbox.... each bit takes me about a day. This is going to take forever... Anyway, wanna see? Ok.

Re: Progress: 787B

Aww man, I really love this car.
I saw the Tamiya kit a couple of months back, but at that moment I didn't have money with me. I returned to the model shop one month or so later (I'm stupid, yes) and the kit was gone.

Well, at least I get to see someone build it! Looking great so far man, keep it up!

I'm sure the SMS stuff (and your skills) will make it really good looking, keep us posted of this beauty.

Very nice details, It'll be a stunner when it all comes together.

I can't wait to see this car fully CF'd and PE'd..
