1/8 Scale Chevrolet..............


Recommended Posts

I haven't done anything in 1/8 scale since i was a kid.......got the bug again, so I thought I would put up a few images of this Chevrolet big-block with the Muncie 4-speed.........mostly 3D printed, with various brackets and such done in styrene............

Wow! That's gonna be a big Vette!

Yea, Glenn, that's the big drawback to 1/8 scale for me........where to put this thing when I'm done?...............though I get as much fun out of building it as I do in displaying it............I personally think 1/12 scale is the sweet spot.....big enough for real detail, yet it will fit on a shelf somewhere................

Thanks, Danno..................

How did you do the shift linkage? It looks fantastic!

Harry, the Hurst shift mechanism is a printed part.......it was pushing it a bit, but workable.......fastener heads and such are separate pieces.......the levers at the trans are styrene and the rods are piano wire............
