Tradeshowjoe Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Bro! That didn't come out "pretty nice" It is Really nice! What scale is it? Paint color is perfect. Again, real nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparmadman829 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 is 1/24 th scale and thank you very much.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 That is very good looking, The metal textured are believable. Ever noticed the curly plastic that comes off a draw of a panel scriber or backwards knife blade through plastic sheet? Seems it could make some nice metal scraps around this.

mannyclub Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Awesome lathe! That would be cool if you cast it too. you dont see to many older style lathe's available. I know a couple anyway but yours has more detail and looks 100% better in my opinion. Adding some aluminum shavings etc would give it that much more detail i agree!
