Front Update - still someway to go but things are taking shape! - Compromise made on the wheel arch which should be integrated with the opening bonnet, but this proved very difficult to achieve whilst also looking good.

Looking awesome so far :thumbup: Is there any way to get more detailed, high- quality photos?

The car is almost complete bar a few details and one slight modification so all going well I will be able to take some photos in the next week.

In the mean time, here is a very rough and ready video that shows the approach I took to designing the paddle shifters. Given the lack of space at this scale I decided that a kind of HOG mechanism for changing gear was the best way to go, the paddle shifters at the steering wheel which are virtually impossible to get to anyway are therefore aesthetic.

In the final solution the HOG shifters are blended with the top of the dash, and elasticated so that they spring back.

Simply stunning.

Easily in the top 2 on my best MOC's list - you beat Sariel in this (I think of him like a god).
