Still blows my mind that every visitor to @redbullracing HQ MK7 visitor centre will walk past our lamp at the entrance. Thank you to the team for their hospitality & time yesterday. Just love working with these guys.
I hope you enjoyed the #f1hiltbuild on #starwarsday This piece was delivered to a Star Wars mega fan. On his birthday. Today! #f1art #f1 #starwars @DavidWhiteleyTV
Ready for final touches.
99% #F1 components
1% C3PO.
Happy #starwarsday instagram.com/p/CdJKfiktQCI/…
Just the emitter shield to press on and we’re nearly done. #f1 #f1hiltbuild #starwarsday instagram.com/p/CdJKEwQNUeA/…
Next step is to machine a pocket for the emitter button. A button made from an off-cut of material used on C3PO’s original suit. Of course. #f1 #f1hiltbuild #starwarsday instagram.com/p/CdJJVnRNk4Z/…
Then antique plated various components and relieved the high surfaces on the lay shaft. #f1 #f1hiltbuild instagram.com/p/CdJASBONT9u/…
Followed by some heat treatment to replicate the effect of blade transfer from the emitter when activated. #f1 #f1hiltbuild #starwarsday #engineeringporn instagram.com/p/CdI30lJtuOT/…
Next we opened up the inside of this F1 rear damper spring mount so it interference fits to the gearbox shaft. #f1 #f1hiltbuild #starwarsday instagram.com/p/CdI3fE3tVW5/…
First stage was to built up some texture layers with paint and a special vintage plating system we developed. #f1hiltbuild #f1 #starwarsday instagram.com/p/CdIrDDNtK9Q/…
Time to select one #F1hilt from the mock up parts. These all use a series of F1 gearbox layshafts. We removed the teeth from one end, shortened and pre-assembled with other F1 components. #f1hiltbuild #f1 instagram.com/p/CdIiXcaNtA-/…
Mixing F1 with laser swords. Here are some initial ideas. Any guesses to where the components once lived inside an F1 car? #F1hiltbuild instagram.com/p/CdIaQ24tVuP/…
Ok. I give up.
Can anyone help identify this lorry I found on my dog walk this evening. I can see TRA V (U) maybe, on the grille. Could it be missing the first letter? S? Straussler? But couldn’t match any photos. RT if you know a Lorry Enthusiast
Small intake bonded to top of the craft. Just rear of the canopy. Homage to the F1 heritage. Maybe. #f1art instagram.com/p/Ca9oLj0Ny5-/…
