Dr. Cranky Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Trust me, all you will be able to say is WOW: http://www.martin-heukeshoven.de/details.php?idx=35&art=ts
Ramfins59 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Holy you know what...!!! If the first few pictures weren't of the modeled bus, I would have thought all the stuff piled up inside was REAL...!!! Yep...........WOW.
Evilbenny Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Yes, WOW! I really need to work on my skills.
Casey Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Cool stuff, but they're mostly metal: "Ali Baba's cave" 2010 scrap metal, welded, with various applications (leather, rubber, glass) length about 98cm http://www.martin-heukeshoven.de/technische_skulpturen.php
GeeBee Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I couldn't even say WOW, as I'm still speachless !!!
sjordan2 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 His other work is pretty jaw-dropping, too. Thanks for sharing.
DrKerry Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Ya know? Wow spelled backwards is still WOW?!?!?!?!
CJ1971 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 It's an amazing bit of work, there's no doubt about that, but it's a fairly large scale & things/parts etc can be made to look very cool/better as the scale gets bigger... NOT to take anything away from this guy's eye for detail or his incredible "patina" skills :-) Fantastic all 'round & way cool. Cliff

Guest G Holding Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I' not sayin nuthin....... Edited February 22, 2013 by G Holding
Mooneyzs Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Holy smokes.... I could of swore this was real until the last pic. Totally awesome build.
Dragline Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I feel I need a tetanus shot just looking at it. WOW is correct. Bob
Fender Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 So those are Porcher kits?? I don't think they are plastic. Some of it may be. I can't read the German (not sure about German). I know that you can get the rust on the metal using etching acid and other type acid.. Either way I'd like to see an English version of the text. I guess I'll search for it. I'm interested in his techniques. Anyone else?

I'm interested in his techniques. Anyone else? Not Pocher kits, because they didn't make a single one of these cars. Scratchbuilt out of metal. And half of them have never been issued in any form, at any scale, by anyone.
Duntov Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Are you kidding me!!!! I can't even choke out WOW....... Speechless is more like it....!!!!
W-Machine Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 You were absolutely correct, Doctor. WOW!
Junkman Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I read up on the artist and this is the rundown. His name is Martin Heukeshoven, and what you see is art, not modelling. He does not use any weathering techniques, he is making these works of art from rubbish and scrap metal that he has accumulated since his days at art school back in the 80s. The rust and weathering you see is real. Harry once used Mr. Heukeshoven's Lancia (IIRC) in his real or model contest. Mr. Heukeshoven does work on commission and you can reach him here: Martin Otto Lambert Heukeshoven Im Gollenhof 1 71397 Leutenbach - Weiler zum Stein Tel: +49 (0)7195 5836921 Cell: +49 (0)171 / 6079934mail@martin-heukeshoven.de OK, my turn now. WOW! Edited February 24, 2013 by Junkman
Harry P. Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Harry once used Mr. Heukeshoven's Lancia (IIRC) in his real or model contest. I did. The guy's work is unbelievable.

And half of them have never been issued in any form, at any scale, by anyone. I guess if you can get 30,000 dollars for a work then you can scratch build everything! I wonder how long it takes to do one of those cars/trucks?

I wonder how long it takes to do one of those cars/trucks? That's the kind of money (and higher) that scratch builders like Gerald Wingrove and Fine Art Models get for their commissions.
MAGNUM4342 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Mind completely blown! I even looked a second time first thing in the morning before my meds kicked in to be sure and you are correct sir...WOW!
