Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd share my McLaren build with everyone. I've been watching everyone else's on here for a while and though it was about time I showed mine!

It's getting there! Not much left to do, only the transfers, which I hate doing!!

Rather than post pics here I've updated my Facebook album, link in the first post. It should be set to public viewing.

There are a few errors mainly on the nose cone decals! (I aim to fix these) and will take better pic in the daylight!

Cheers

Hi guys,

Thanks for the kind feedback :-)

I've created another album with both my 1/8th's together!

They look brilliant next to each other

Well done!

I keep looking on ebay at the Aston, very tempted after seeing this

Enjoy Dodgeball as well did you Flapper

Very nice Dave, well done on a couple of great builds and considering these two are both the same scale, it makes you realise how small an F1 car is in reality when you see it against the DB5!! ThumpUp Cool

I also wish I had done the DB5 but didn't like the Bond connection, would have preferred to have a standard 'classic', but if it's ever re-released I will be looking at it very closely!! Drool

Thanks guys.

To be honest the DB5 was a pain in the butt! Paint mis-matches, broken parts, ill-fitting parts to name just a few things wrong!!

I am a big Bond fan so it was a no brainer for me....although knowing what I know now, I probably wouldn't do it, or another, again, if ran by the same company - The quality is nowhere near as good as the McLaren.

The McLaren was more of an after thought.....although I must admit, I feel more satisfaction in completing the McLaren due to the amount of effort and work needed.

Now all I need to do is find space for them both LOL

I did enjoy Dodgeball, although it just happened to be on whilst I was taking the pics BigGrin
