Great place.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I've been tinkering around with this resin stuff, trying to remove all the excess flash from the small parts. So far, I've broken almost every part I've tried. :headslap: Dude, that stuff is so fragile and brittle! Why on earth can't someone produce a modern, injected plastic version of this iconic racer in 1/24? :wink: I dunno if a year is long enough to wrestle this beast into shape! Now, I'm casting my modeler's eye at the Monogram Bugatti Type 35B staring down from the shelves at me...much simpler, much faster to build. Sheesh. :grin:
