The more I see the more beautiful it looks , you should be chuffed with it , may I ask how long its taken ?
Thanks man, I am
I've been working on it for about ten weeks, an hour or two now and then. The most time consuming is searching the web for photos of real cars and of course getting the pieces to fit before soldering.
I can promise you my finger tips are quite sore

I can easily believe all of that , even the sore fingers but its going to worth it.
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

My father's an orthodontist (retired)...carefully twisting and bending wires is a big part of the job, practically an art form.

Top notch craftsmanship on display here!
RC10, FX10, JRX2 PRO, Blackfoot, Bolink Eliminator...much more, probably too much.

It seems almost wrong to ask but are you going to paint it ? I'm loving the Steam Punk flavour it has in bare metal .

The plan is to paint it, but I had thoughts earlier of leaving it bare.
