I really only watch endurance racing these days- the WEC (world endurance championships) races mostly. This the same outfit that does the 24 hours of Le Mans.
The season opener is today’s Sebring race.
Tomorrow there will be a 12 hour IMSA race at the same track, but I’ve given up watching IMSA after their paid subscription streaming service decided to interrupt the action with commercials throughout the races.
The Nurburgring endurance racing series opener is tomorrow @ 0515 here on the east coast. If you’re not familiar with the Nurburgring, it’s a 24 kilometer track in the Eiffel Mountains in southern Germany. They run a half dozen six hour races and one 24 hour race per year.
Here’s a lap of the Nurburgring in a former 24 hours of Le Mans winning car:
Today, I did house keeping, sorted out stuff from traveling. Decided to shelve the artillery piece briefly and drag out a shelf queen that’s been sitting for 20+ years for the Unfinished Business 2023 Group Build.
Surprisingly, I’d left a fair number of notes on the instruction sheet. Decided to start with the notes. Worked on filling 32 punch marks on the outside faces of eight road wheels.
At that point were I am not sure how far I want to go with weathering. And I am not sure if I mud it, that this should be the first to try it with. Still not loaded up with everything also, it has to ship and having breakage headaches.
Looks really good, weathering,specialy mud, is the step to make it perfect to me. I feel the same, you can destroy what you have done so far. I hope you decide to do it and let see some pictures
Long time at work yesterday, no time for my jagdpanther left,but today I will do something.
And I have to bring my girlfriend to watch “a bridge too far” tonight on tv, hard piece of work😂
Nice day to you all
Test fit for shelf queen went pretty well. The wheels all touch glass top. At some point this thing had been back on my work bench because four outside wheels had reinforcement rivets added.
Still sitting here staring at the build wondering how to attach items like instructions show without it looking stupid as though some magical magnet is holding items on it the way Italeri shows to build it.
