Progress report, day 1
I got the barge boards down! I am quite proud of my solution, although admittedly it does leave the lamp holder part exposed.
The biggest point of contention I have here (that isn't the front wing) are the sidepods. When I went for the SNOT solution I got the shape correct and ideal, but I lose the vertical shaping that is supposed to add the bulk to protect the driver. Now, I went to build the car with the nifty pullback chassis in the Shell-Ferrari sets, and while I get the vertical shaping, I lose the horizontal shaping (the size-zero body), and real car's sidepods come out from the monocoque sideways.
So do I stick with this frankly-antiquated solution that does its job or do I ditch the powered chassis for a horizontal build?
BTW: do you like my rear wings?
