      I am a newby to this forum. It took me two days to go thru the entire build of this car. It is a shame to call it a model. The detail and craftsmanship it way over the top. I have seen a lot of models, being a former member of IPMS 1/8 GT40 MK1 Ford scratchbuilt, why not? and recently getting back into to this fascinating world. I have been involved with several "Model Shows" and I can say that this GT40 is the best I have ever seen. What really astounds me...he did all this in two years. It would have taken me 10 to 20 times that and even at that I am not sure I would have finished it. But he did, he stuck with it. It is a masterpiece and this man has a eye for the little details that are often either over looked or just forgotten.

      So, Propeller, may hats off to you on this masterpiece of art. I sure hope you don't mind if I continue to refer back to this thread for some of my future builds. I thought I was good at building. Well I just got schooled and schooled good with this build. I hope you invite us to view your future builds. Thank You sooooo much for sharing all this with us all.

      Beautiful and amazing work Dan, have seen this thread long time ago but never saw the end.
      One question about the building, how did you make the glass for the lights??

      My God. I just finished going through this build. It took me five days, and I learned a ton of skills and techniques from the building.

      Thank-you Dan for posting this. It was (and is) as valuable to me as Gerald''s or Ken's books.

      Best Regards,
      John Parry
