... Ils sont très enjoués et joviaux ce soir.... Est-ce qu'ils ont fumé "du drrrrôle de gazônnnne" avant de rentrer en ondes?

Je blague bien sûr!

Mais ça doit faire du bien à ces deux-là de décrire et commenter du jeu un peu plus excitant depuis que Eullaffroy a pris l'équipe en main...

Par contre c'est Neville qui aurait peut-être dû en fumer avant le match... Il est toujours en train de crier et on l'entend bien pendant la diffusion...

Good hello.

I am looking for tips from builders here in creating my first 1:8 MOC.

I have built several 1:8 and 1:10 models. Some originals, some MOCs, some "off-brands". So I have a good understanding of how things work. Some of them:

1:8 -
Ferrari Daytona SP3
Lamborghini Sian
Bugatti Chiron
Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Maserati GT (Reobrix)
BMW M4 GT3 MOC/Off brand
Ferrari F40 MOC/Off brand
Acura NSX NA 1st Gen MOC

1:10 -
Porsche 911 RSR (pimped-up)
Peugeot 9x8
Ferrari 488 AF Corse
VW Beetle Type A MOC
Nissan GTR R35 MOC

I have the model in mind. I found a few sources like pictures on all sides, some CADs of the parts, restoration youtube videos, etc and I am still digging for more details like parts measurements and what now.

I want to start building it in Bricklink Studio because I don't really have spare parts. I have read that it's a good idea to start building in sections, and not create a full build. And also starts with mechanical parts like the engine, suspensions, gearbox instead of starting with the body or the interior.

But I still feel stuck. The model has a very characteristic and distinct chassis which I personally think is a nice part to reproduce and to start with. But I feel as since I don't have the full dimensions of the chassis, I am blocked. I may start with the engine first then the gearbox and the work my way around them. I know I can't reproduce to an exact replica of the car because gearboxes are not the same, etc... but I want to have it as close as possible.

So, any tips you can throw my way is welcomed. Thanks.
