Wow! Top quality work. It is interesting (to me anyway) how the mid 70s F1 designs manage to look modern and anachronistic at the same time.

Calvin; "The MACHINE" strikes again!!!! One of the coolest things in the world is to see a piece of junk sitting in a shoe box a coupla' weeks ago, turned into a beautiful work of art! I knew you would do it proud. It is beautiful, my friend; keep up the good work... Tim Well Tim, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't of been doing this great car. Thank you for opportunity to build this car. Its been fun! also thanks to everyone that has rooted me on! Sometimes the "Machine" needs a little boot. But wait! Im still not done yet..........I should be done late tonight! ;D

And yes, I want to know how you did your windscreen! I'll do a Demo a little later....I need some more practice. How To Make a WindscreenFirst of all, Stu told us how to do it....Im going to show how to do it. First you need some 0.015 clear plastic, which you can get from the hobby store. The take your windscreen that you want to replicate (Im my case a clear coated foggy one ;D ) Tape tracing paper around it... but before you tape it all the way around cut down the middle of the paper to give it some relief, so you will be able to curve it easier. then tape it all up. then just cut the paper around the plastic. Now a stencil has been made lay out your stencil on your new clear plastic sheet tape it down and then cut it out then sand out any bumps take a rounded object and start giving it that curve done Its easy and only took 10mins to do.
