Scale-Master Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 ...for the Seven... Alternator 44 scratchbuilt parts and 4 custom made decals. Masters and Slave Seven individual machined parts in the Brake Master Cylinder. The reservoir was machined from leftover casting resin. The rest is mostly aluminum. All machined aluminum except the machined left over cast resin reservoir, and machined soft plastic seal under it. Seven pieces for the master, eight pieces for the slave. Wheels Still have to make the center caps and valve caps, yes there are valve cores in there and they move, no, they don't hold air... Machined a master for the center and cast it in resin, the rest of each wheel is machined. NOS Bottle Over a dozen machined parts. The gauge has a needle, and a lens. The blow off valve is bronze and aluminum, the safety cable was wound from some very fine wire. Note the 7 faceted knob, (it is for my seventh Super Seven), and locking hardware too. Made the decals, of course... - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jairus Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Mark, Just thought you'd like to know that you made the "Slotblog" forum site! Someone saw your stuff here and posted a link on Slotblog. Of course the reviews were good... mostly they were simply blown away with your attention to detail. Maybe they didn't realize that your actually taking pictures of real car parts.... Hmmm, you should get your thumb in the picture next time like Bob Paeth used to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappyJ Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Every time I see your work, I'm simply amazed. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your work and your knowledge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Simply awsome, the alternator could be a model in itself. The nitrous bottle is off the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr. Odyssey Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 This should be in that other scratch building thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 This should be in that other scratch building thread. Spend some time searching through the builds he has done over the years. There's some amazing stuff out there. He builds in several scales too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen H Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Man I don't even now what to say. WOW I guess might be appropriate. Awesome work man. What scale are all these parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Talk about a blast from the past... I finished this model almost 5 years (has it been that long?) ago. These are 1/12 scale parts for the Blue Super Seven "Superb 7". (As seen in my avatar.) Edited February 9, 2012 by Scale-Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagoneer81 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Holyshmokes! You certainly do live up to your handle! Very impressive! Thanks for the tip about using casting resin for plastic reservoirs.That looks very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr. Odyssey Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 props to Dr. David for digging this thread up while the parts shown here are nothing short of spectacular and absolutely amazing there is also something to learn from what's also been posted by Scale-Master. i think the use of the white resin is a very cool touch and tip for replicating the white plastic reservoirs on the brake master cylinder and slave cylinders. incredibly cool stuff IMO Glad to provide a public service Dave! I find it intresting the way some good modelers here get so much praise that goes on for pages and pages for things that look a bit sloppy - or worse - and this level of clean work gets lost in the back pages after just six comments? Is building something that looks like the modeler drove thru Michaels with a magnet what the majority strives for here? What am I missing?

Danno Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nice bits, but ... are those component colors accurate for a '68-'70 Charger in the most detailed/accurate build ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartster Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have no words for this level of work. I don't know wether to strive for this or just give up modeling altogether. What's left to accomplish? I quit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said what it was for: Have you totally missed the entire General Lee melodrama or do you just not get ironic humor? Perhaps I was too subtle. [self-Editor's note: Me? Too subtle? ] I know what Mark created those amazing parts for, I was just juxtapositioning the thread with the greatest General Lee model ever built ... for sardonic contrast ... much as you yourself said: "I find it intresting the way some good modelers here get so much praise that goes on for pages and pages for things that look a bit sloppy - or worse - and this level of clean work gets lost in the back pages after just six comments?" Actually, I think you and I are on the same page here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 why quit? work like this should inspire you and make you want to improve your skills and get better. i know it works that way for me You're exactly right Dave. That was just a tongue in cheek kind of compliment. It did open my eyes a bit wider to the possibilities of this hobby! It's almost liberating to see this done in 3-D. Keep on keepin on, brother!

'Entertaining' is a great euphemism for some of the threads that devolve into love fests and killer-bee swarm attacks when certain 'tutorials' and WIPs appear and reappear. Want to see a mild-mannered forum erupt into internet gee-hod*? Just ask an accuracy question or point out a flaw in an orange charger build by one of the BoLuke experts or the diehard hazzardistas! * = Yes, gang, I know how to correctly spell the word, but I figured it was better to spell it phonetically than to spell it correctly and have this thread discussed endlessly in Langley, VA while they try to decide if there are hidden messages in this sub-ver-sive site.
