There is also a Lindberg kit in 1/25th that has been reissued a couple of times. Way back in the 60s there was a article in one of the mags using the Auburn to make a boat tail Duesenberg out of the Monogram kit. -
Tonight is the first night of the rest of your lives.

Marvel's Hydra coupe 1/12 scale full scratch build

Very Cool, but how do you adjust the valve lash on the intake rockers? Just kidding. Looks like you are having too much fun. -
Like giant model kits! except you would need cranes to position the parts. Oh the logistics of it all. and a big bucket of yellow touch up paint.

I've always wanted to go to the Mine Expo show here in the states. Really want to do the setup and see how they get these beasts into the expo hall.

Wild valve train detail and a very unique intake duct work being an integral part of the heads. Is this roughly based on a real layout or are you being tres creative? Wild stuff. -

OK, maybe a little over powered but we're going for mach 2+ and need to get there fast before we run out of lake bed. -
For those who think there isn't a lot or work done before printing your 'kit' even before doing the hands on immaculate detail and finish work.

Yeah the seat belt print is sweeet! Do you have color printing capabilities (the tech is out there) even so the build base does make a convenient way to hold the small parts for painting.

It is easy to lose site of how really massive the car actually is even when compared with the Bentley. -

Yeah, the front fenders are looking good now! -
I can't remember when I last used a 35mm film camera, so all the above photos were shot with a Canon PowerShot A610 with built in zoom lens. And only has 5mega pixel processor. good enough for what I do now days.

Spectacular detail pretty much covers it! Do the seat belt buckles actually work? Thank you so much for sharing!

That's It! The 16 exhaust pipes are simply a ruse and are really for thermal venting of the Flux Capasitor and Quantum Hyper Drive!
