Fantastic work on the orange McLaren. There are so many details, it could easily pass as 1/12 scale, congratulations. Cheers Rob

Great detail painting and weathering as usual, Mike with one tiny exception this time, if you don´t mind. The (I guess) Flory wash on the sidewalls has a strange appearance, like oil drops on plastic. Flory washes distribute better with an added drop of detergent mixed in. If it´s an effect you intended to do, then I´m sorry for my remark. Cheers Rob

I love it and it´s good to se it as a kit in large scale. I have one from Eduard in 1/72. There is another one from former German Democratic Republic called Duo. Would be a nice subject as well. Cheers Rob

Nice battlesuit or whatwver it is, Count. I really like the painting and weathering, specially the inside. I built some MAK /Ammoknights as well and it´s always loads of fun. I always try to do something special when I build one of these, as they are the perfect canvas to go freestyle. Cheers Rob

You got squirreled up somehow Martin . I own the same Italeri kit, but haven´t build it. I also own a 1/24 Tamiya Fiat 500 kit, which will be converted into a mad hillclimber, but that is also a future project. Cheers Rob

I´m in Mike, as I have the kit as well, but will build it sand colored, like the restored Taube in the Berliner Technikmuseum. I just landed on Saturday in BER the new airport of Berlin, where the Taube flew, when it was still named Adlershof Aerodrome. As a born Berliner it´s kind of a home game for me to build the Taube, even when I live in Spain now. Cheers Rob

Fantastic build and a great result to show for, Martin. Everything blends in well and I congratulate you to your accidental build . The Snoopster should fly a Mustang, not a Nazi bird. Cheers Rob

Thank you Pascal, it was my first MFH car build and I made some mistakes, some of which show in the end. It was a learning curve and I already finished a second one a 1/12 Brabham BT45 and plan on the next one. Cheers Rob

Lovely weathering and detailing Martin. Oil colors are so versatile and forgiving, that I don´t understand, why they aren´t used more often. Cheers Rob

One of my favorite summer tunes, Gotta love Fatoumata Diawara with her special way to sing and her enigmatic guitar. Have all her vinyl´s along with a complete set of Gorillaz black gold. I´ve seen Gorillaz in Berlin during the Plastic Beach Tour, one of my favorite concerts ever. Cheers Rob

Yup, Schumacher raced the Jordan 191 for his F1 debut and changed to Benetton afterwards. I like the cars of the era as well, as long as they are not turbocharged. Cheers Rob

It doesn´t look like a first one, FA. Splendid result and surely a vivid spot in your all weathered display shelve. Cheers Rob

I like your Taifun, Kevin, reminds me that I have to build one myself. Cheers Rob

Thank you Gentlemen, your encouraging comments sure helped the Lotus from being a wallbanger. I repaired it finally with half a liter of CA and it seems to hold up without further reinforcement. I didn´t brake anymore parts during the process, even when it was quite difficult to handle the halves. After a lot of filing and tweaking, it finally went together. It was a bit of an anticlimactic build, with the ennerving end, but it´s done and now Ihave to look for some more display shelve area in my cave. Cheers Rob

I will let pictures speak, to spare you my swearing, during the unification of the Lotus two halves. Phew, finally it´s done. With it´s predecessor, the Lotus 49C in 1/20 With Brabham BT 45 Cheers Rob
