Casey Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I think you could've said the two in the foreground are 1/6 and 1/16 and the background wheels are 1:1 and we wouldn't have known any better. Absolutely beautiful work. Edited March 8, 2011 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a million Jim, keep up the great work man!! Sixx I have to agree, I just got my first 1/16 scale set from Jim today and they are gorgeous. I would like to see him do a few other styles of drag race rims . I would buy and definitely recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm at a loss for words. I had a friend that lived down the street that had a complete machine shop in his garage. He did Aerospace work. I never could get him interested in doing something like this.He'd tell me " Go ahead, I wont be using such and such machine for a few days. Way beyond my expertise. Jim you got it.
