Can we see some scratchbuilt things?

[Hollywood Jim]

There is some incredible stuff on this thread.

I thought I was an OK scratchbuilder.

But this thread humbles me and I'm sure now that I'm just a beginner.

[Scott Colmer]

Wow, what a thread. Amazing talent and creativity in these posts. That steam engine is great. The working top is sick. Andy, that "Charger" is so very cool.

Injector manifold with butterflies. The tubes are aftermarket.

[mopar68]

This is incredible fellas! Wish I could comment on every part, but that would involve me sitting here all night, as I spend at least 15 mins on each pic, just staring in awe

From now on whenever I'm feeling low on inspiration/motivation, I'm gonna check in here to see the possibilities

[vintagedragfan]

everything but the transmission is aluminum, 163 individual pieces, and the rear wheels for my Cuda

[Kaleb]

Just making sure before I put my foot in my mouth for what I was going to say.

Now that I know, I have seen bill's work in person it is truly amazing. I think micro nitro and other machinist have real compitition on their hands. If that's what it was about.

[slowlylearning]

I joined this forum simply to say to all those who have posted something scratchbuilt in this thread: "You are insane."

Everything is absolutely awesome and awe-inspiring. Cant get over how great this stuff all is! You should all be proud as punch!

I wish I had something completed to post up!!!

Oh and ask mopar (zac) about his stealth-chargers!

[Foxer]

This thread is INCREDIBLE!

[Aaronw]

Nothing like some of the stuff posted, but I do dable in fabricating bits.

Firefighting tools, left to right drip torch, 1 gallon canteen, swatter, halligan tool, McLeod, prybar and a can style backpack pump

The tools are mostly bought, but the hose reel, nozzle, tank, fencing and brackets are all scratchbuilt.

I've built a few utility bodies, here is one I'm working on for a salvage truck.

[comp1839]

scratch building is just so much fun. you can really let yourself have fun when you're off in scratchbuilding land.

here's a rear i did for the FED.

here's the hand formed aluminum body, mid-plate, soldered brass chassis.

my first all aluminum really BIG chevy motor and 5 spd. planetary trans.

and of course i love creating my own wheels and tires.

these are parts for almost all different projects.

[cobraman]

Dave, those parts are nothing short of beautiful.

[cobra98]

WOW Guys, There is some absolutely Beautiful work posted here!!! B)

Ok, I wanna play. This is a completely scratch built 1/64 flatbed trailer. I even machined the wheel and Stemco hub from aluminum, added lug nuts from RB Motion, cast it into resin, drilled and filed the two oval holes and then cast it a final time. I collect these trucks and at the time I made this, no company offered a flatbed or a two hole Budd wheel.

Here's another little gem I'm kinda proud of but I can't take all the credit. It was started by a VERY accomplished modeler in Germany by the name of Klaus Lassen. He put it on hold about a 1/4 of the way into it. I was able to talk him into letting me finish it and have it cast into resin so more modellers could get one! The beautiful castings have no seam, no flash and no pinholes. Casting credit goes to my buddy Jamie Rahmoeller. It's an Allison MD4560 automatic transmission used in modern heavy trucks, fire trucks, etc.
