The thought has occurred to me, that in the future, when someone restores the real car, they'll be able to use this work in progress as a reference! Saying it looks real just doesn't do this build justice!

Hi, Thanks so much for your kind comments Mates! Some A/N fittings made of White Metal are provided in the kit, but those used for the build are machined aluminium and anodized for some. These ones are not from MFH but from Robert Bentley (RB Motion). Work on the rhodoïd windshield of the M7A: - cut, - drilled, - Black gasket painted and a color test     Voilà. Pascal |

Hi, Few progress on the M7A of the Boss. Prep, primer and ZP SG Black.     details added:  I forgot this part... so Orange is out. Need to clear coat... or not...  new color test...  ...PGo for this one:  Details on the masts with the linkage bracket:  New parts made:  A bit disappointed due to the fact I din't have enough nuts to make a better detailing... test fitting:     Cooling duct connected.  Alu tape having fun into a bath of MEK :  C'est tout. More soon. Pascal |

I have commented before about "mad skills": Pascal, and others like him, are what I was talking about...this is unbelievable...the detail is off the charts...I would also draw attention o the most recent photos...the body appears to be orange, then the next closest photo makes it yellow....same car; same camera...THIS is why we have color debates....Michael has convinced me that photos will show different colors on the exact same car and this proves it...

Okay so you tinted the windscreen with Alcads? Did you have to do anything before or after to prep it? It turned out really nice!
And what does MEK do to aluminum tape?

Hi, Thank you very much! Nothing to do before spraying the Alclad: a first mist coat, than a wet coat. The MEK is just used in order to dissolve the glue on the alu tape. Small progress on Bruce's M7. I spent a loooong time to find a solution and to succeed in modifying the rear tie rods: I didn't like that much the original ones. I also added the brake lines . As the build is on a good way, I took some pictures of the M7 next to the 312 and the body of a Lotus 49...       More soon! Pascal |

Hi, Sooooooo much time since the last post :oops: First, coolant pipe. The one which is running under the right side of the Body. Masked, primed, painted and quickly clear coated with brush and Klear.      Installed and connected to the water pump on the engine side and to the radiator on the front end. Same thing on the left side.   Stabilizing bar and rear view mirrors polished:       The intake trumpets are made of brass and need another color. As usual with that kind of part, I prefer a chemical traetment. So, the mesh is burnished with a blackening agent and slightly dry brushed with Metal Cote Polished Steel. Then a thin aluminum band is installed around the base of the mesh. An example on the MFH Lotus 49 DFV intakes, then on the AWESOME Widia velocity stacks of the McLaren.    Fuel pump, expansion bowl (?...) and wing mounts installed.  The engine mounting plates are rebuilt and installed with RBMotion hardware. Time for the Papaya to have wheels. Central seam line is sanded.  The blue ring is a mix of US Navy paints from Model Master Acryl. Tires are airbrushed thru the MFH tool.  A last look on the caliper and its details...  Shoes or socks on!      Nose on:  with her red friend:      already thinking to the next one...  More soon. The end is not far. Sorry once again for being absent for so long... :oops: Pascal |

Pascal,
I'm not sure how, but I missed this when you were originally posting, but it is really fantastic to see how you elevated an already nice kit into a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing. I certainly learned a few things!

Wow! This will be the best reference to build the old Heller kit by. This is excellence!

glad to see you back at it again!
i'll never figure out how you did the blue rings on the tires (very steady hand?).
thanks for sharing.

60s F1 is just such a great era. Love these clean 3 liter beasts from '66-'68. Your builds really capture the look and feel. Beautiful!!
So the blue rings, you put a piece in the middle of the tire and another piece over the outside where it leaves just the ring exposed to paint?

Bonsoir, Thank you very much Mates :oops: @jordan: Yes. This is a MFH tool  Here we are! The Roaring Papaya is finished. Mat black after masking:    Windshield is installed with 0.7 resin rivets. Mirrors, Dzus and metal rivets of the front hatch are also now done.    I'm trying to take better pics maybe a bit later... I hope this wip was plesant for you. As usual, comments and remarks are welcome. Pascal |

Wow, totally awesome building and details. I wish I had the skill to make a model like this! I have trouble with the cap on my toothpaste, so attaching small parts to other small parts is probably not for me  I have a Gulf GT40 in resin from Lemans Miniatures and it scares me every time I open the box. Just too many parts. I really enjoy seeing talented people put such beautiful models together. Lance, I am convinced you could build any model and build it well, better buy a MFH while they are available! |
