HI Rick thanks for your nice comment an yea it was a bugger to get the air downtakes built as you say a complex shape an i kept at it till it looked acceptable but i really enjoyed the challange an there's loads more complex bits to still be built an its nice to show you guys on here of whats happening on this build but just got to hope this pc dont crash completey as its doin it now an again but if i send it off to be looked at it may be gone for months under the present climate so i just hope it will soilger on as ive done all the security scans an it comes up sayin in the green an no threats so im at a loss but it may be due to the low megabyte area where i live an cheers for lookin in on the build as its you guys lookin in that keeps my mojo up to continue this build thank you

WELL hopefully the pics now show an here im now star ting to fit some of those pipes not really happy with them but i treid to heat warmly a bigger plastic tube but it cracked so im now down to usein bendy drinking straws an i think it will be ok once its all sprayed matt light grey 
Yep. Looks good to me mate. As Paul says, what aren’t you happy with? May be you’ve been too close to it and need a change Before coming back and finish8ng?
HI Scottie well the main pipes should be a bit bigger in diameter but no could do as the corner turns are so tight an my first pipe cracked when i was warmin it up to try an bend the pipe so hence the bendy straws
