Hi All
Since struggling with my build from the off, and realising I didn't have the skills to complete it to the standard of the builds I have seen on this forum, of which there are many fantastic end-results, I decided to ask for help
Many of you will be familiar with Warthog's build diary and marvelled at the skill that has gone into it, because of this I decided to PM him and ask if he could help
Spencer was more than happy to take on my build at a very reasonable fee, and so last Saturday I collected my Mclaren
The finish is superb, and the work he has put into it deserves an award in my opinion
I was lucky enough to view his build in the flesh, which, goes without saying, was awesome
I drooled over his Senna tribute conversion which is almost finished, and I for one think this superb conversion is definitely one of a kind, and showcases the skill of the man
All I can say is "Thank you Spencer for saving my bacon!" I am more than pleased with the end result
If any of you out there are in my position, struggling to achieve a model, in view of what you are paying for it, at the standard it deserves for such a detailed kit, don't despair. PM Warthog for advice, or indeed if you would like him to take charge and build your Mclaren for you, to an exacting standard, I am sure he would be more than happy to help
When and if we get the Senna Marlboro Mclaren 1:8 model, I will definitely be requesting Spencers help again to ensure I will end up with a perfect model
As a foot-note I want to thank De-Agostini for producing this fantastic model and urge them to release Senna's car ASAP!
Thanks again Spencer, and all the best
Andy

one very happy bunny,my thanks to deag for setting up this forum,it has helped so many beginners and experts alike,and I for one would be lost without it.

Well what can I say apart from a big thankyou back to Andy for giving me the task of building his McLaren.. when you invest so much money, even over time it can be a tough decision to make to hand over everything to a relative stranger..I had a great time building it as with the others. So once again, thankyou Andy for your trust and as I said on Saturday, I look forward to assisting you again in the future and a great pleasure to meet you.

Spencer

And here she is:

Spence is a GREAT guy!!!!!!

Great job Spencer.
Could i ask what you used for the finish? Spray or Klear polish?
Also the little black dots on the panels look well.Where these done with a fine tip marker or decals?
Cheers.

Didnt think it was a marker. .
Your detail is amazing.
Many thanks.

I have my little elves on standby

Kind words by everyone and thanks but as Petpole say's it's all about helping others for what I see as a fading hobbie..if I can help in any way then I will do my best as will others on this forum in other sections doing the same.. As Karl say's it's companies like DeaG that are doing a fantastic job in a difficult market.
