BRM-P201 - 1975 (Bob Evans)

This is my first attempt to make a paper model after 40 years building plastic kits. I was very satisfied with how paper can be transformed into a quality model in addition to being a cheap solution if you want to think outside the box of the market. My next project will be the 1978 Copersucar Fittipaldi F5A.

Nice model !
Also, well made - paper models are very different from plastic but they both need nimble fingers and a lot of patience.

Two good things about paper - It's much cheaper than plastic and there is a greater choice of models going back the the very early days of motoring.

Cheers
Mike

Well done. I've yet to build an F1 but do have a couple on my ever growing to-do pile of kits.

As a first attempt I think this model is brilliant, I have been building paper and card models for 7 years and have tried F1 cars a few times, they all take the same route, directly to the trash can, well done.

Thanks Mike. They are very different things and in the case of this kit, starting with the not very friendly instructions.

Cheers

Thanks rmks200!
I've stopped growing my pile of plastic kits but I still have things to do for the next 100 years.

Thanks TramFan
You have no idea the number of parts that went straight to the trash can before reaching this result.

Cheers
