Thanks for breaking it to me gently Mike.
I could have sworn it had a slight dish on this pic[.][.]
I was really proud of it...

And the moral of that story is... ask first! There's not much we don't know about this machine.

I mean, who puts in a hole pattern of 9 equally spaced bolts...
Just waiting for some filler to go off.

I'd forgotten just how well that steering wheel turned out. One of the few things built completely from scratch with only photo reference.

It looks brilliant, are there any other pics?
I've put the first coat of paint on my sad looking effort[.]

I've also made a start on my DMC head, it's going to need extensive remodelling....

I struggled finding an Anthony Hopkins for sensible money, although I did look.
I've got rid of his quiff & what was left of his neck. I realised that I'm going to have to reshape the whole head so I've completely lined the inside of the whole head with a few mm of Milliput.
I'll try out plastic surgery tomorrow & see if I can make him look vaguely like DMC.
