Here am I embarking upon scratchbuilding cars, I see work like this and wonder whether or not I should give up?
Thanks Chris, inspirational.

MRRC BRM P261 build
6
Our club has a class for early to mid 60's GP cars, and the MRRC BRM P261 is my latest build for that class.......I stole wee Jackies head from a Slot-it GT40 (I did not have a Stewart tartan decal, and there was no chance I was going to paint one), added goggles, a face mask, goggle/helmet straps.
I used some spare grommets (ferrules ) for intake trumpets built up chassis and away we go..(BWA inserts/wheels)
The paint is not by any means a perfect shade, has too much metallic content, and the metallic particles are too big, (as would be expected for a 1:1 paint).
Anyway it is completed, looks good to me, and I will swear to any naysayers that I obtained the paint directly from the Owen group.
Cheers
Chris Walker
