thought this was cool

I built this while back after finding one ebay I just felt the need to try and build my own so I took a stab at it and feel it came out pretty nice.got few other things I have built from scratch that will be posting in days to come..hope you enjoy..

Bro! That didn't come out "pretty nice" It is Really nice! What scale is it? Paint color is perfect. Again, real nice work.

[moparmadman829]

is 1/24 th scale and thank you very much..

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.

had thought something like that I some little files and stuff to add to it yet as well

For a minute there i THOUGHT it was REAL! Then i RE read the thread and realised you BUILT the lathe!!! THAT is TOO COOL!!! If you could have it cast, I'm SURE it would have ALOT of buyers! I know I'd like one! BEAUTIFUL job. Whooda thunk of buildin a scale lathe? GREAT job!

OMG!

[moparmadman829]

I do have another in the works for mold making purposes already have both 3 and 4 jaw chucks cast..

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!
