Really really nice Mark, have you a photo of the original shell for comparison?

Great work Chris! Can you give us a few pointer on how you did it? Always a car that fascinated me!

That is superb Mark, you have captured "the look" of the original car which as we all know is not easy to achieve. I think this is your best build to date.

Hi Mark
This BRM looks excellent and all the better for its rarity value. I like the engine detail. The finish and colour are terrific - what paint did you use. I've got three BRM projects in the pipeline and got a can of Ford Tourmaline green from Halfords but not sure how its going to turn out! Also the tyres look quite realistic what are they please?
Best Regards
David

I'm not familiar with Halfords paints, but David Lawson and others could advise you on that. I believe that Taffy used a "BRM Green" paint from Hiro (sp?) on his BRM V12... that shade looks very good as well. I usually use Halfords paints but for BRMs I use Maserati Rifle Grey from the paints4u.com range. Barry Boor recommended it to me and I'm happy with it but I've seen about half a dozen BRMs at various open race meetings which are a very similar shade but the builders have all used or mixed different colours from various sources so it's a case of experimenting until you find the one you are happy with.

Wow, quick work! It looks fantastic, with very clean, tidy construction.

Hi Mark, I have not seen all of your builds, but this one is the nicest I have seen so far.......great work!!
I find a quick shot of Tamiya Gun Metal on the inside face of the wheels, makes them look a little more realistic. Your pic. of the 1:1 BRM is a good reference.
Cheers
Chris

A fine model Mark; you've achieved just the right appearance and stance. I really like the rivet detail.

Hi Mark
A splendid looking car, it really captures the feel of the original. I know what you mean about hidding bits and pieces - I'm sure I spend more time looking for things I've put 'safely'somewhere than actually productively making the car itself! What's your next project?!
Best wishes
David

Very nice build Mark  I bet it runs great with that chassis too.
Did I read some where that you have a wood track now?
Good luck in this years VRAA!
