Jordan 191

Outstanding.......I don't know what else to say. To pack 1/12 scale detailing and cleanliness into a 1/20 scale package is just amazing. Congrats on finishing it up. All the work and sacrifice paid off.

I only hope you'll do it all over again on another F1 car!

Amazing work. This should be in a magazine. Maybe you should contact F1 Modeling about a write up on your model.

Jaykay - this is absolutely flawless - what can one say - amazing work - John

Not bad for a first model ;) :rofl:

Absolutely stunning, inspirational and 100% pleasure to follow as you progressed with this project. A special thank you for being so generous in sharing your techniques and solutions.

An absolute gold standard build :worshippy

Thanks for sharing this build, it is simply superb!

truly beautiul, really a professional quality build! :bigthumb:
one of my favorite eras of F1

Welcome to the 30th and in fact the final building progress update :-)

congratulation! superb! the best i've ever seen!

Good stuff. I've been waiting for this day for quite some time. It might seem a bit selfish, but you need to get back to the MP4/4 now. Please take your time. I can wait a day or two for the next update. :lol:

:runaround: ... nothing to add

Bravo. Really amazing. Not only the car, but the online WIP is also great. Doing these wips with such great pics and descriptions of all the steps takes a lot of work. Thank you also for that.

Now, isn't there a McLaren sitting around with some unfinished brakes somewhere? :)

Murray

congrats for finishing your first 1/20 kit... :wink:
I think everything has been said, I would just like to thank you for sharing this beautiful build with us. I can't wait for the next one :grinyes:

One of the best models I have seen :yikes:

Care to give us mere mortals a hint as to your next project?

Great reference pictures, but where is the completed model? :lol:

Lovely stuff, JayKay - congratulations. Hey - isn't there a modelling competition round here somewhere...?

SB

Uh, what to say, I am of modeling for some time now, but I was following your work from start, absolutely fantastic WIP, my favorite for sure.
Great build, really great, I will go now and check it again for few more times :)

With all parts put together it looks simply stunning. Once again - congratulations for awesome model!

What an incredible journey for all of us that followed along. Simply stunning work and patience.

What an incredible journey for all of us that followed along. Simply stunning work and patience.

A journey to say the least. what a work of art.

Are you planning to take more finished pics and post them in the finished area? I would love to see some more finished pics.

What a great show this has been.
Andy

Wow! Great job. I love your work. So clean ;)

Everyone, thank you very much for your comments.
As i said before i think, they are a great motivation to keep going on a project. So i can only encourage you to also do a WIP. It will inevitably make your model better because you will always try to push a bit more than you'd do just working by yourself in your closet. I ended up doing quite a few things on this build, that i never thought of at the beginning :-)
I will take some more gallery shots and post them, but that may take a bit because i need to do something about lighting for that and before Xmas time is gonna be scarce.
The next thing i'll build will most probably be a curbside 1:43 Tameo that i started in summer. Nothing big, just a relatively quick build for a change.
Then there's more stuff sitting around to finish. A Cayman that should have been done already and also a McLaren...:-)

Jay>superb!

Edit: you wake up Sasa! This would be something! :D
Ciao Sasa also ;)

As with the others, I too have been following this WIP (although more as a lurker on the German modellboard forum where this WIP is also posted).

What a work of art.
Every new update I am astonished at all the stuff you've been able to cram into this build.
This really is the most realistic model I've ever seen. Period.

This has been such a pleasure to watch. Well done Jay for finishing it. It's a real beauty.

Stunning,for sure one of best kits i've ever seen.

Not only have you created a stunning replica but you've managed to teach us along the build. Excellent, excellent job!

Awesome build!!!! Nice display of skills, patience & persistence. On top of that you are great at translating what your doing into words. Thanks for sharing:grinyes:

I've been following this build for the last 2 years and I knew that this was going to be one of those special models that I would always talk about amongst my F1 modelling buddies! Congratz in getting it done, your work has been an inspiration to me, well done and thanks for such a wonderful build. Always a fan of your work!

Cant stop looking at it.....

This has been my favorite thread to follow. I'm glad that you decided to finish this for your first completed F1. I'm sure I'll be back to this thread to be amazed again.

Rob

Oh wow! Like a lot of people said, I've been watching this since the very beginning and I am just in genuine awe of what you've put together! It's just stunning. Absolutely stunning. Great, amazing work. I can't wait to see you're second finished 1:20 F1 model! Keep it up!

You are a extraordinary model builder!!. You should contact Tamiya and show them how to make detail parts for perfectionist modelers like yourself.

I started a MP4/4 some years ago then stopped. I have the rear wing, roll bar and cowling to do. I stopped because I don't want to ruin the cowling when i paint it with the colours as dust will land on it and i won't like the finish. I'm still a novice in building kits and haven't done one in years but i keep thinking about finishing this kit.

How do you keep dust away when you paint large surfaces? Where do you do your painting, e.g garage, room?

What kind of tape do you use for perfect dividing lines?

This model kit is EX-TRA-OR-DI-NA-RY
I hope Michael Shumacher will buy it for a lot of money :)
