lordairgtar Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) http://forums.aaca.org/showthread.php?t=278354&page=30&p=1231687#post1231687 Here is a link to the AACA Forums. Talk about dedication to a craft. This build is all scratch built from copper, brass and other materials. I am amazed at it. You might want to go to the beginning as I linked 30 pages after the first post. Edited November 1, 2013 by lordairgtar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've used his stuff as "Real or Model" subjects. He's the kind of guy that makes all the rest of us look like hacks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Yes, he's an amazing craftsman and modeling engineer. You can find a little more detail on the Lincoln at scalemotorcars.com. This link started when he was already 2 years into it (over a year ago). He's up to 54 pages and probably has another year or two to go.http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/large-scale-cars/36929-continental-mark-ii.html Edited November 2, 2013 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 This guy out-Wingroves Wingrove. His Toronado and Avanti are the most spectacular models I've ever seen. Actually I've only seen photos but hope I get to see them here sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hemmings Daily just did an article on this Lincoln build. Roger says the build will probably take 10 years in all. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/11/06/continental-mark-112-roger-zimmermans-amazing-scratchbuilding-skills/?refer=news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Jeez...talk about skills...not to mention taking time to post pictures on multiple forums, it seems! Maybe he doesn't sleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ognib Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I've been following his lincoln build for about a year now. He's my main inspiration for my deuce build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick GMC Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 This is a link to a large scale forum with Harry's permission. This guy is building this car from scratch, I thought you guys would like to see it. http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/showthread.php?36929-Continental-Mark-II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I will never have that kind of dedication,... ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick GMC Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yeah the guys over there are insane. Scratch Built 1/8 Gt40, all brass scratch built Ford Model A, crazy stuff. There is a guy on another forum building a 1/8 Porsche Moby Dick completely 110% from scratch all from styrene stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Macleod Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I am a long time member of the AACA and have followed this build for some time. I respectfully suggest that Roger is the best model builder alive today...perhaps ever. We are all hackers in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Roger Zimmermann. He is right up there with the late great Manuel Olive Sans. We are just mortals. Edited February 26, 2015 by Junkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
