1992 Mclaren-Honda MP4/7 Ayrton Senna
Hi all,
After watching hours of past FIA Championships, I had no choice but to go to my desk and start a new project. I am designing the McLaren MP4/7, the last to have Honda engines until it's return to Formula 1 in 2015. I'm thinking about creating a small collection of simple early 90s Formula 1 models. There are many iconic vehicles that are not designed, or not available for free. So since I have the time, maybe I should give it a shot. Today I spent a few minutes designing the nose of the car. I used side and top view pictures I found on Google. I printed and tested it on scrap paper, and I'm quite satisfied with the results.

Here's today's work. Trying to keep things simple
I also made alternative versions with replaced sponsor logos (as seen in Silverstone and Hockenheim).

Thank you for the interest! I'm planning to do the Williams FW14B after the McLaren. I need the two together.
I've almost finished the overhead intakes. Hope they fit.

Thank you all for the kind comments. After some short birthday celebrations, I started a very very VERY dirty test of the parts, just to get a rough picture of the main shape. Now that the body is there, the nose looks more like an MP4/8 Ford.... Might have to redesign that.
The fonts here are not properly done, it's because I printed this from my other computer, which didn't have various fonts installed.... so don't worry, the finished model will have the proper fonts. But the overall shape looks okay, so except for the nose, I'll keep the rest of the model. And besides, this is a heavily simplified model!!! Ha ha....

Redesigned some parts. The intake should fit better now. I'm designing the interior (which needs a lot of guessing and testing), and so far, the seats have been finished (almost)....

Testing the wheels... the sides of the rear has to be reduced to about 98%. Other than that, they're good to go!
