    I build alot of armor and have never washed the parts after sanding. The directions suggest doing so but luckily I've never had an issue when it came to primering the hulls etc. I guess it's different when doing auto kits though when it comes to needing to lay down smooth gloss coats. Great work on the F1 btw, Tamiya do pretty good auto kits.

  • @simonwaite5815
    @simonwaite5815 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Spectacular Build. Every piece is made absolutely perfect by you!
    The metal clips you fabricated for the fuel lines to the hose clamps...
    From the Paint to the Sticker application to the clear coat, wet sand and Polish, your workmanship is Top Shelf! With no sound on the video, we (the viewers) can feel the tension... the concentration. You should have very Proud of this Build!
    I can tell by your Paint Booth, washing the parts after sanding that this is a long way from your First build and an equally long way from your last build. This video was a real pleasure to watch. Perfection Achieved! Cheers, Larry. 😍👍

    I built a similar kit 30 some years ago. I loved the black Lotus Formula One model. Mine was the John Player Special and the kit didn't have this level of detail. It was one of my worst built simply because the decal work was so difficult. Glad to see this video on how to properly build a F-1 kit.

    • @ZiggysDesk
      @ZiggysDesk  4 ปีที่แล้ว +84

      Appreciate it!! Builds usually take me a month or more, including filming and editing. I don’t do too much research, just a couple hours looking for reference pics, or going through the kit instructions.

    That is absolutely magnificent. You should be incredibly proud of your work. I used to love building Tamiya models, and while my attention to detail was not even close to yours, it was still enough to drive my wife mad! Sadly, ill-health means that my hands are nowhere near steady enough to do this sort of work anymore. Still, I can watch and admire the work that you do, which is immensely satisfying.

    I have recently finished building this model. Nowhere close to your standard of course, your attention to detail is off the charts. I too thought that it was a shame for the manufacturer to omit the fuel injection lines when the engine was that level of detail, but i left it alone. I also love how you got the 'Ford' lettering to appear on the cam covers. Very clever!! Excellent build.
