Goodwrench Chevrolet Lumina 1/10

[Hermann Kersten]

Hello Nascar fans!

 

Maybye it's a nice idea  to share my nascar in scale 1/10 what is made out of brass and a sheet of tin.

 I made this model about 20 or 22 years ago, when soldering with metal was still an experimental phase for me.

At that time we, in the Netherlands,  could still follow nascar by the tv channel Eurosport, but after a couple of years Nascar was gone behind a payed channel.

That was also the time i get enthusiastic  for this kind of motorsport and therefore  i bought some monogram nascar kits.

 

After a few kits i want to give it a try to make big scale models with metal, and the first one was this nascar from the big legend.

As an example I took a monogram kit in scale 1/25, and have this one pumped up to the scale 1/10.

Everything is made out of metal, also the whole body.

The engine can be disassembled in parts, crankcase, valve covers, manifolds and air filter.

Also the axlesand tyres can be dissembled in parts because everything is fixed with bolts and nuts.

 

The tyres and rims are bought in that time and the advertising stickers were ordered in America through a modeling and die cast store in the Netherlands.

For this model i used a lot of materials for finnishing, because there were no parts available in this scale, and the internet was at a very low level at that time, computers were then still a luxury .

I hope that you can appreciate this model, even though it was a first shot with metal, everything is hand made and therefore may not be completely accurate.

 

 

Hermann.

Amazing!  I wouldn't even know where to begin with real metal.
