Yeah, I took a look at it. Not that bad. It's difficult to begin with such a hobby. Take a look at the link below. That's the third car I've built (the first (RB1) and the second one (MP4/20) didn't exist anymore - I think I've burned them
)
BAR003

That's some truely awesome work on the modeling there – why have you not been applying to F1 teams to make models for their wind tunnels!
Thanks. When the car is finished, I'll send pictures with a few words of me to the teams. We'll see what they're saying. I'm already in contact with a man who works at RB...

Very well done, I look forward to seeing many more posts =D>
There are some moments, I like to throw the car through the window - but over the years I've learnt to be very pacient and controlled if something didn't and didn't work. Btw to your question, I'm a student in mechanical engineering. That should answer the most questions.

I was just wondering where did you get the technical drawings and schematics to build this model? Did yo make them on your own?
Hi, for sure I do the most drawings by myself. I take also a lot of informaton out of the FIA technical regulations.

Hi! I began building models from scratch in (about) 2002. Before that I've building paper models for five more years. So you can see, It took me over 14 years to get this standard of detailing - so, tell your friend not to despair of that.
I see, there will be a few people looking at my next projekt, so I'll start the construction report soon.
Regards Paul
