Can we see some scratchbuilt things?

[cobraman]

That is very different. I really like it.

[ajshot58]

Here is some Halibrands I made last week they are 1/25 scale. The tires are NOT scratch built just the wheels. ( I did not want to get yelled at )

DAYUM!!! Do you sell them???

[Harry P.]

The items on here are amazing!

This is my second project made from brass. It is a copy of the real Autotwirler.

The 1/18 diecast car was modified to be a body shell. The body rotisserie is all scratch built from brass.

Too cool! Now put that into a body shop diorama!

All of this just reinforces what has been repeated often on this forum:

Treat every component, every subassembly, as a complete model by itself. That's how amazing work happens.

CHURCH !

Here is a door latch I came up with to hold the doors shut after adding realistic door hinges.

This started life as a curbside. I scratchbuilt the engine bay. Engine was a mix of kit bash/modify and scratchbuilt.

[Erik Smith]

Intake is scratchbuilt.

Transmission in scratchbuilt.

So much amazing work here people, I'm loving this thread so much

Here's a couple more little pieces I dragged out of my tangled twisted mind

Functional universal joint, just because-

Functional hood hinge, again just because. Still needs a little gas shock, I couldn't find tube small enough at the time-

And just some experimenting with bead welds, nothing compared to what I've seen on this forum-

Keep posting people, I'm loving this!

[pandamonium2112]

Here's one for you. The wagon was from a kit, the other item is a scratch build. I made it with 4 rims and a tiny handful of other stuff.

Who remembers the days ?

I should be able to remember, but I suffer from Anheuser's Disease.

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.

wow i love that rearend, i have to get working on my lathe to learn how to do that, also need a mill to.

1/32 scale Mack CF Aerialscope

1/32 scale American LaFrance Pioneer cab Aero-Chief Snorkle

(Only the tires/rims & Yellow portion of the front fenders are kit pieces!)

Very incomplete Emergency-One 135 foot Stratospear Ladder truck;

This flatbed trailer is scratch-built. That is a Lindberg Chrysler Cordoba climbing onto it!!

Here is a Small Rescue Squad.

First box was made with 'Plastruct'. New unpainted one is Evergreen!

[Jairus]

Well, as you can see I am building a chassis for a Maserati 250f with working steering, out of steel wire and brass plate. 98% of it is totally scratchbuilt and soldered together. Wheels were turned on a lathe by someone else and the tires molded by Monogram.

The body is hand carved by me from balsa.

Driver will be from Fujimi.

Awesome work here on this thread. My contribution is this H61 Mack. Apart from the rims tyres diesel tanks headlights and running lights, it is entirely scrachbuilt. Not as intricate as some of the other subjects here but its definitely my favourite in my collection.

[Pro Wrench]

here's a hemi i scratch built from aluminum.

I was ready to call b.s. on these being scale size and not 1:1 until that pic with the ruler for reference. Absolutely unbelievable skill here.
