Chief Joseph Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Here is a steam engine I designed and built. That is too cool for school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) MSD unit. Mostly aluminum. A couple-few dozen parts and some wires and custom decals. Even has the shock absorbing mounts. Fire extinguisher. Wheel(s). The tire is kit sourced, the wheel including valve stem and core is 100% scratch. How about a can of tire sealer? The bottom of the can has the code printed on it and there is a core in the valve too. Alternator. 42 individually scratchbuilt parts if I recall correctly...

Dave Van Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 This project has been stalled for 10 years!!! It started out as a 1/12 Roush Racing IMSA GTO Cougar. I have failed a number of times to build a body I was happy with....so here it sits. Chassis is all Evergreen and Plastruct plastic. Some Grandt line NBW castings. Suspension works with working coil overs. Engine started as a small block Chevy with all detail removed from block, re detailed as a SBF and new heads and valve covers made and cast in resin. Lots of turned aluminum pulleys etc. I NEED to work on this again....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 A mundane coolant cap... A gauge set of Auto Meter Ultralite series. Everything is scratchbuilt including the lenses. I created the gauge faces and the needles are parts mounted on pins, not decals... Three row radiator. Mostly made of aluminum, some brass, some steel for the core. 67 pieces make up the shell, core, core support, fittings/hardware, cap and petcock. Steering wheel. Around 20 parts. Mostly aluminum. I broached the splines into the receiver so they match the splines on the column. The red button on the right is for the nitrous. Even made a plastic wire guide to keep the switch wires from dangling loose, yes, that's a phillips head. (Note the stitching on the faux leather grip.)

Brizio Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Here some of mine... This is a Fiat 643N Fire Truck, that my dad had in his Fire Station in Italy. It is 1/24 scale and it is all scratch built except the wheels and tires, that I mold and casted in resin using tires from a kit. The ladder move all around and goes up and down. The wheels turns. The real truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizio Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 This was a '69 Charger... The cockpit is still from the Charger, the rest not... This was a Revell '31 Woody Wagon... The back is converted into a Boattail style, dashboard and also doors are scratchbuilt, also some part of the engine. The camper and interior, chassis are scratch built. This was a '71 Cuda... The back door open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Mike Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Here's my scratchbuilt stuff, a full wooden bed floor made from Basswood, some styrene strips for the reatining straps, tiny little bolts for the straps, and some straight pins for the fender bolts. Next are the scratch made tail lights with straightpin "Blue Dots", and a gas filler neck and cap made from aluminum tubing and some sprue. The entire bed floor (Top and bottom) is all wood, I made a duplicate of the plastic bed floor for the bottom side with all the proper mounting tabs, cut strips for the top side, stained it all and put it together! The new tail light lenses are some Red plastic I got from an old motion detector I replaced at work one day.... This is simply two different sizes of aluminum tubing fit together for the filler neck, and the cap was the same tubing with a piece of sprue shoved into it and shaped. I added a very fine piece of wire to the cap and ran it down the filler neck so the tiny little cap wouldn't get lost on me!

Brizio Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 This is in 1/35 scale and it is a SPA Dovunque 33, an Italian military truck. It is completely scratch built. This is a A7V Elfriede, a WWI German tank scratchbuilt in 1/160. The soldier I bough it. This is a Armored Lancia 3ro, used in Italy during WWII. It is all scratch built in 1/24. Turret move up and down, and rotare 360, the doors open, and the wheels turn. The body of this VW is scratchbuilt, the chassis is from the kit. This sidecar is in 1/9, is all scratch built except the engine, that is modified from a HD. I can post more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizio Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I love the fact that the VW bug camper is modeled after real 1:1 cars Thank you Derick, when I saw the real car close to where I live, the first thing I though was to build one.

MrObsessive Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Some of you have seen this in action up close and personal, but here's a completely scratchbuilt working top frame for a '64 GTO I was building years ago. I've since abandoned the model as there were other issues that would involve totally taking the model apart, and I just lost the ambition. I used an original shop manual to get the hard points made..............then just shrunk the details down to suit things for 1/24 scale. I probably won't ever have this in the model if I ever rebuild it-------just wanted to prove something to myself that an in scale working top frame can be done. BTW, I still have the top frame, and it still folds up as well as it did when I built it back in 2003-04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
