Inspired by some super previous builds on here and being a favourite F1 of mine, I would have to build a Tyrrell 006 one day.
Fortunately I discovered DNQ (Simon) on SlotForum produced a resin shell.
This was over three years ago (we will get around to it one day), with progress on and off------well for those who like to see the building of the car here is some previous progress.
Interestingly I've recently finished my version of this shell although I haven't done the wrong mirrors yet!
I struggled a lot with mine so great to see yours looking very crisp.
Lovely work.

A splendid looking car. The rear uprights are excellent - what are they made of and how did you make them, please? I usually make mine out of aluminium bar, drilled and filed to shape.
David L. I think I am slow building but perhaps we all are. I started this about 3 years ago (I have built others cars in the meantime). When you consider the research beforehand (and during) and then all of the work involved, they do take time.
After that we only have to fit it in with everything else in life.
David M. The rear uprights are plastic on this car, fabricated around Evergreen tube and filed. I have made some from brass on a few cars. I like the idea of using aluminium as brass is harder work filing etc. Using plastic makes them easy to fabricate and file to shape but get a bend or tension wrong with the piano wire and you can easily pull a hole through.
