Had a lot of browsing time as I was on nights last night and also tonight  Night Rot is a full time profesional model maker.. His work is truly outstanding and puts mine to shame.. He's made the dumbo wings from alumnium sheet and a roller to get the curve.. filling and sanding along the way.. He is doing The Honda CB750 and rebuilding the engine from scratch.. now if only I had a lathe etc!!! Have a look at his Ferrari 1/12th Tamiya.. use a translater to get a rough idea in what he is saying Areas to look at are.. Silver Story and custom

It's truly incredible the amount of extra time and patience others are putting into their custom builds  Now that is dedication...... I thought at the end of the build, we would have 50 plus cars that looked all the same, but this is FANTASTIC!!!! I cannot wait for December 2012!!!! My only change will be an LED Rain light and side camera on air box, but that's it  Chris
