  1. Hey Harry. Looks like I've been asleep at the wheel here. I've been busy over at the other place having a ball over there too. That's a great job on the Mercedes. I really love the uphostery you've done. It's one of the best I've seen. I'll be following this build a lot more closely. Catch you later.

  2. I'm posting some pictures for a friend of mine from another non competing site named www.scalemotorcars.com . His name is Mario Lucchini and he's building a 1/8 scale Citroen made by the Heller company. He decided to fully superdetailed this model with some scratchbuilt parts, nuts and bolts and whatever else he could dig up. I thought you guys might like to see the incredible work this builder is doing. When finished, this model will be unlike any other in the world.

    So that he could have a working stand and a photo platform, Mario scratchbuilt a stand exactly like the one Citroen used when they made the original.

    Here's the engine in the stand. The next few pictures will show the engine as he adds on parts.

    More to follow. Hope you enjoy.

  3. Nice work but that AVATAR has got to go. LOL.

    You're right Ken, I made that avatar go away. Here's some more pics of an engine I'm scratchbuilding. It's an early Olds Rocket but it's still in progress.

  4. Thanks guys for the kind words. Everything there is in 1/8 scale. Unfortunately the flathead is not a working one. It's the one that comes out of the Big Deuce kit with a bunch of scratch built details. The seat is covered with real vinyl and will go into a deuce kit. Hey Harry, good to see you. You're right, we need good large scale representation. It's a great part of the hobby. BTW, the avatar is a remnant of my former profession. :D

  5. Hey Gang. I just joined today and found some really nice work here. I thought I would post some of the things I've been working on. Some of you may have seen the stuff on other sites. Here goes.

    Except for the first picture, everything else is scratch built in 1/8 scale. I love to build in the larger scales because you can really see the detail. Too bad I have to wear thick glasses. :D
