Hi guys
I'm new here in everything... New member, new to modeling, and new to forums activities too...
And while looking for hobby to stress relief I found this mclaren...since I am brazilian and race car lover, Senna has been an all time idol for me.
Ok, here are some pics of my building, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Ps: sorry for my poor english.

Hey Rob, I'm from Brazil too and it's nice to have you on board! I also think you are doing a great job! This is an amazing hobby, you'll see it! I think you took the right model to start because it's almost everything ready to assembly, but it feels great when you try to upgrade the model making it appear like the full scale car. You can visit my diary and make any question if you want. You can visit Chris' diary too because I think he's doing an excellent job! Have fun!

Olá Rod

i too use this kind of modeling for stress relief as i have a busy job and it takes my mind of work. works well for me so hope it does for you.

as you are new to modeling its nice to see you are attempting some mods with your mp4/4

looking good and good luck.
