Gascoyne perplexed by Group Lotus

Lotus Racing technical boss Mike Gascoyne says he remains confused by Group Lotus' unwillingness to work with his team in Formula 1. Gascoyne and Tony Fernandes' team could well have to run under a different name in 2011 as the Lotus car company withdrew the squad's licence to use the Lotus Racing name and is disputing its right to use Team Lotus instead. Group Lotus also looks set to start its own F1 partnership with the Renault team.

1/25th Scale Electric Guitar

My current builds are being delayed because I can't find any black ignition wire, so I started planning a new rod/custom build. I felt it needed something extra to make it pop and a color matched electric guitar seemed like the best idea. Instead of picking a common guitar like a Stratocaster or a Les Paul, I picked something a bit more unusual: a Rickenbacker 325. These were first introduced on the market in the late '50's and have been used by many musicians. Most notably The Beatles. So after 2.5 hours of carving styrene last night this is what it looked like.

After more work today, the guitar is almost ready for paint. It still has a few rough edges that need sanding.

Here's a real one.
