Hope there's no chance for a leak in the room where you keep it :lol:

I haven't been commenting before, although I was lurking. Anyone could make a detail or two, but to dedicate himself so much into something on the level of Fabergé, without free form but obligation to copy exact dimensions and 3D shapes is really amazing. I hope someone recognizes your talent and capabilities.

BTW, I've read something about liquid magnets DIY, so perhaps that could be the solution for your engine cover fixing.

Almost all paper. Only the wind scren, the rear mirrors, a few heat sields and the reinforcement of the suspension isn't paper. I do not have to add a lot of balast to the car. My car has 534g, and for the regulations - converted to 1:10 scale, it should has 570g.

Nice one, thanks!

Today in the morning, I returned from my visit of the RBT factory at Milton Keynes. I was amazed, how well known my model already was when I arrived there. Poorly Adrian and Christian weren's there to take a look at it. But Rob and the guys were really amazed by my model, what was really nice to recognise. The interview itself went quite well. In about two weeks they'll contact me again and then I'll know more...

Cheers,
Paul
