Whats you pride and joy model?

[SpikeSchumacher]

While not auto related, this for me is my "pride & joy" model. Built for my late father-in-law as a birthday present. Looking at it now there are things I would have done differently/better, but at the time this was where my modeling skills were at....

Thank you Ron! I considered that build a true "labor of love".

Mathias that is a fine Corsair. You really captured the essence of VF 17 operating from a jungle strip.

My pirate girl was taken down. Yes it did show a single breast. Sorry if someone found a pea-size breast so offensive....

My Pocher Alfa gives me the most satisfaction as it fought me from start to finish and I end up getting the better of it. The fit and finish of the parts for what was called a premium kit was a shock after being bought up on a diet of japanese kits.

If it wasn't for my little Emco Unimat 3 lathe with all its attachments I never could have finished it.

Nice Alfa !

[Dr. Cranky]

Lordy, this thread is pure gold and eye candy. Thank you and I hope everyone keeps the great builds coming.

This one is too easy for me.

Probably never going to make anything this detailed again in my life.

Corvette Grand Sport 1/12th scale mostly scratch built.

[Raul_Perez]

This is my favorite of all time.

Caution, not model car related.

Very nicely done!! I too like building WWII figures and vehicles.

Later,

This actually worked out kinda funny. I only built one plane. Then I gave it away, I really liked this one. Lots of scratch building and learning new stuff.

I usually build cars and this, although still unfinished, is the one I really like.

1/4" scale garage dio. I really enjoyed researching and building this.

[Mr.Zombie]

What is 1/4" scale please? I'm not familiar with the quarterscale things. 1:25?

And I'd love to see that as a separete thread with description and more (biig) pics. I love this!

[Chuck Doan]

Thanks! 1/48th scale, which is half of 1/25th (24th) scale. Full album here:

Yes, I had a look. You sir, are my hero. Your imagination and abilities are unbelievable. Love the tractors, especially the little Fordson.

[Chuck Doan]

Thanks! I feel the same way about a lot the builders on this forum. Great inspiration!

Here are three of my fave car models. A Pro-Street Austin in Metalflake Red. Working suspension and an award to it's name. Then, a 1/16th Dragster, with many machined and scratchbuilt parts. And finally a model that caused me such a headache, a resin bodied 39 Merc that ended up with a paint job as smooth as glass.
