ajshot58 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Here is some Halibrands I made last week they are 1/25 scale. The tires are NOT scratch built just the wheels. ( I did not want to get yelled at ) DAYUM!!! Do you sell them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 The items on here are amazing! This is my second project made from brass. It is a copy of the real Autotwirler. The 1/18 diecast car was modified to be a body shell. The body rotisserie is all scratch built from brass. Too cool! Now put that into a body shop diorama!

Joker Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 All of this just reinforces what has been repeated often on this forum: Treat every component, every subassembly, as a complete model by itself. That's how amazing work happens. CHURCH ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopar68 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 So much amazing work here people, I'm loving this thread so much Here's a couple more little pieces I dragged out of my tangled twisted mind Functional universal joint, just because- Functional hood hinge, again just because. Still needs a little gas shock, I couldn't find tube small enough at the time- And just some experimenting with bead welds, nothing compared to what I've seen on this forum- Keep posting people, I'm loving this!

pandamonium2112 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Here's one for you. The wagon was from a kit, the other item is a scratch build. I made it with 4 rims and a tiny handful of other stuff. Who remembers the days ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jairus Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well, as you can see I am building a chassis for a Maserati 250f with working steering, out of steel wire and brass plate. 98% of it is totally scratchbuilt and soldered together. Wheels were turned on a lathe by someone else and the tires molded by Monogram. The body is hand carved by me from balsa. Driver will be from Fujimi.

codie27 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Awesome work here on this thread. My contribution is this H61 Mack. Apart from the rims tyres diesel tanks headlights and running lights, it is entirely scrachbuilt. Not as intricate as some of the other subjects here but its definitely my favourite in my collection.

Pro Wrench Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 here's a hemi i scratch built from aluminum. I was ready to call b.s. on these being scale size and not 1:1 until that pic with the ruler for reference. Absolutely unbelievable skill here.
