Gabriel Leidentz Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hello everyone. I always save references from other modellers. I've even saved some links to Fotki from some forum members. Would anyone like to make other links available for more references? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Some of my albums have a little scratching in them, the 37 linciln one probably has the most but I'm not at the level of the other folks on here https://www.flickr.com/photos/111449995@N04/albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I hope more folks chime in. There's a guy who did some really stunning work using a programmable cutter that cut precise shapes from sheet styrene, and another member here, comp1839, does spectacular work in larger scales, like this...

Bugatti Fan Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 A couple of the best scratch building references that I can think of are the two books by the late Gerald A Wingrove. The Complete Car Modeller 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I’m no longer at the cutting edge of modeling personally, I admire the work of those who are! I love seeing what shows up at GSL. My own appreciation for this has increased over the years. As a fairly new modeler I met Angie Hiscano at a show. He had one of his cars with the totally brass hammered body, and next to it was the kit plastic body for comparison. I didn’t understand why he did this work, when he had a perfectly usable plastic body! Now I get it! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Zeger Van Hattem must be the king of scratch building, I have been following his projects for quite some time now.

Bugatti Fan Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Force, I think that you need to look at the Wingrove Workshop website. It is still up to show this late master craftsman's work. Zeger's work is very, very good, but I think that you will be more impressed by Gerald Wingrove's scratch builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 They are nice too. Zeger's stuff is made from mostly plastic stock and in 1:24th scale tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes photos are great, there are times when a little added explanation/information could be of benefit. There are some fantastic build threads around, I prefer the ones where the OP shares more about how they did it/got there. (Show your work) was a saying back in my school days?sometimes words are equally important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
