Ferrari 312T4 1979 F1 Car

Hi all, as I mainly visit the "train" section of Eurobricks, this "town" section is quite "alien" to me.....I'm not even sure if its the right place to post this, but nothing else seems to be suitable, so here goes:

I've always said to myself that I'd love to revisit this, as its a car that I loved back in its day, and I used to build it while watching the F1 with my Dad.

Its not quite minifig scale, as the scale was dictated by the wheel / tyre proportions with front / rear, however, a minifig doesnt look out of place in it.

Anyway, this was more of a "get re-aquainted with it" project, to set me up for a large scale version, which is well out of my comfort zone but something I've always wanted to do with this car.

I was highly inspired by Tamiya catalogues back in the 70's, plus my cousin had some of the 1/12 scale F1 car models which blew me away when I saw all the fantastic working details in them, ................so this is something I aspire to now with the next build of this at a large scale, I hope to be able to cram all the detail that I "really" want to get into a larger scale model.

I'm not quite sure which part of "Its not quite minifig scale, as the scale was dictated by the wheel / tyre proportions with front / rear, however, a minifig doesnt look out of place in it." you didnt understand?

Thanks for posting your MOC. We decided to restrict the Town forum to minifig or minidoll (Friends) scale. As this is more in line in terms of scale with TLG's CREATOR offering, I'll move this to Special Themes.
