My little man been sleeping very well to be honest Kev! Only wakes up once (fingers crossed!!!) during the night so it's not bad at at all. My mrs says he wakes up more when I'm away at work but I don't believe her! Lol. He Impressed me today by smiling at the mclaren drivers on tv but started crying when red bulls appeared!! Teach 'em young eh!! Haha.  Ah bless him !! Glad for you that he is a good sleeper Scott and that he has such a good eye for talent ?? So which name have you given him .... Ayrton, Jenson or Lewis ??  Oh and don't forget to order that go kart before his 2nd birthday, you need to start 'em young if they want to get to F1 !! Kev.

Well, I think it's fair to say its been a while since I've updated this and to be honest, up until came away on a ship working I hadn't really done much!! Four weeks of nothin but ocean gives you the kick up the rear needed to get back in the game so here we are! Since I've sailed I've managed to manage to complete the rear suspension carbon graphics and laquer. I'm very happy with the results!! Took my time doing it and now I'm thinking "should I do the rear brake ducts and hubs?" guess I'll see what happens! Front suspension still needs changing from the old plain weave scale Motorsport graphics I used although I have changed the front pushrods (yet to be lacquered). I'll keep pressing on and maybe another update when I get home and get all the parts waiting for me!! Let me know what you think guys! Cheers Scott If at first you don't succeed........skydiving is not for you!

well, since my last post my car has been on a bit of an adventure, meaning ive only just got it back!! its been on a return voyage to the US and its also had a round the world cruise stopping in japan for a few months. during the time i was on the ships with it ive managed to completely strip and rebuild the front suspension with new decals and also the front hubs, brake ducts and brakes have had decals added and have been fitted. not all was plain sailing though (no pun intended) as returning to my cabin in the middle of a force 12 hurricane, i found the box containing my model sliding across my cabin bouncing off everything in sight! its given me th opportunity to rebuild the rear wing and a few other bits and correct decals id made earlier. onwards and upwards!! heres a couple of pics............ scottww86 attached the following image(s): If at first you don't succeed........skydiving is not for you!

Cheers spencer. I've made no progress since this post at all as I left the model on ship when I left again. Back here now for a little while so I've got it out and going to have a bash at finishing it before the wife realises them boxes coming through the post with mp4-4 parts are a different model!!  Now I've got it out I am somehow missing a couple of parts which is a nightmare! Can't find them anywhere and can't understand where they have got to! One of the parts is the top camera which was attached to the top of the car and also the panel from the left hand side of the car that is screwed to the main cowling. (I'll post a pic to show!) if anyone has any spare parts going id be grateful if they were up for sale! Cheers Scott If at first you don't succeed........skydiving is not for you!
