Cardboard F2012 FW & nosecone

[amouzouris]

Inspired by PaulB (my work is definitely not as good as his work) i decided to make my own F2012 FW and nosecone...
this is how far i've come so far:

Awesome work man! You planning on making the rest of the car when you finish the nose?

[Richard]

That's impressive. Should there be strakes on the underside?

[amouzouris]

That's awesome! You must make the rest of the car

[Carbon]

Keep it at! Looks GREAT! =D>

[PaulB]

I'm looking forward how you're doing the rest. Till now it looks quite good. What scale is it? 1:20 I guess (you would have to have enormous large hands if it's 1:10 like mine ).
Luckily you took the best part of the whole car for building. I guess there's nothing more fun than building a front wing.
But to build the whole car it needs much patience, endurance and addiction. Nevertheless I hope you'll do it.

Btw, try also with carbon look. Print this out in 1:2 scale

[PaulB]

Well done with the connector plugs. You paid good attention on my work.
Don't worry, if your first work didn't get your full satisfaction.

[...]how do you get that reflective finish on your models?

I use this one for finishing: Dupil-Color
