This is my progress so far on my FW14B. I used the word madness in the title not as a music reference, but because this build has driven me fairly insane. THERE ARE SO MANY SMALL FIDDLY PIECES. Rubber tubes can go right to Hell.

Now THAT is a cromulent word, right there!

Also — is that thing going to have traction control and active suspension?

But rubber tubes increase the realisticness realisticity realityism [aw, screw it] realism of the model ! ;-)

[Midnight Towboy was a great episode, BTW.]

It is, isn't it?

Yeah, it would have traction control and active suspension if it were the real car. For this, a fixed suspension and stationary half-shafts will have to do.

They really do, but they're SUCH a pain to work with. It's a good thing I found some tweezers in the bathroom or I'd have thrown the assembly against the wall in frustration.
