Process, Part Six.

The driveline with the undertray in place. More undertray fitment issues concern the attachment and alignment of the rear lower suspension arms. They are difficult to place without bending them and the slots in the tray they pass through are too small.

How much detail?

I envy Yasu Tanaka's sense of how much detail is enough and how simple his Formula 1 models really are. What granularity is required to look right without the builder (and designer) spending too much time creating tiny elements? Yasu Tanaka knows.

After all the revisions are executed and the main parts are finalized, more detail elements will be created. The exhaust/turbo and induction systems need to be represented as well as various engine-bay coolers and tanks. Hopefully these parts can be produced with minimal fuss.

The next major step will be to sort out the parts sheets and design the building instructions. Part Seven: Creating Construct > >
