Kind regards

It packed up about two years ago I think. The site was having some real problems. Very slow to access and use and just became irritating in the end. The whole thing just got screwed up in the end.

It was a real shame it went as there were many good scratch build model makers contributions on it usually in larger scales and that was its strength as I used it as a complimentary site to this one.  A good example is a Swiss scratch builder Roger Zimmerman'x Lincoln Continental build feature. If you have a look in the Model Motorcars Ltd website there are photos of Roger's build on their gallery on it along with with loads of other large scale stuff. The site  is a commercial one and sells upgrade parts for the Pocher car kit ranges.

Yes indeed, Roger's Lincoln Continental was/is an amazing work of our art. As were the non automotive models, wagons and steam pumper.

Thanks for that link Les.      I was not aware of the site you suggested.       Looks really interesting.

It shows much more of what went into Roger Zimmerman's Lincoln build than in the gallery of the site I mentioned.  It's the sort of build feature that the old Scalemotorcars site was renowned for. Sadly missed !

Yeah, I used to be a moderator on scale motor cars... Guess I just quit because of the slow loading....🙄😟

You might know more about what happened to it Guido as you were a moderator on that site.

Incidentally, out of curiosity who set up and owns the Scalemotorcars site?     Any contact details?
