Always good to see a scratch built model, rather than something just glued together.

If you don't have Photoshop,you could upload your images to Imageshack and resize them, then use the direct link to insert here.

I would like to see construction shots if you have documented the build.

I don't usually get too involved in aircraft but I like the look of your model.

If I ever built a model for myself ( we have made many for work) it would be a GeeBee racer......because they are unstable hot rods.

I also followed Burt Rutan's work for a while.

Looks like the guys are building a 1/4 scale car in your photographs.

I have made a lot of compound shapes over the years and while most of it was 1:1 car and cycle stuff, it still relates to doing the same in model form. This car has a sheet aluminum grill shell and hood. It was to be molded and made in fiberglass. Made with hardwood oval shaped mallet and sandbag. I wimped out and did the rest in plastic sheet and putty.

Thank you all for commenting.

Ognib, The chassis for this car is RHS 18 gauge ERW steel tube. The exhuast pipes are Plastruct tube and elbows and the welds" are superglue mixed with talc.

Harry P, thanks for the kind words, It's what I do for a living.....make stuff. As to this project, it's just about finished except for a few little things like putting on the door handles etc.  Here is a current pic with a girl I prepared earlier.

Nice work on the guitars, I can relate to a lot of the setups you have pictured.

I used steel in my build because it's 1/4 scale and I wanted it strong. Steel is cheap and easy to fabricate.

If you are determined to do something different, then go for it. I would suggest getting a load of scrap and making a few pieces that emulate the shapes you want to produce and

put them together. Clean the oxide layer off just before you weld or solder. Even the oil from your fingers will effect the join. There are probably a lot of people on this forum with

more knowledge on this subject than me, I will only convey what I know has worked for me.

Post pictures off your efforts.
