sjordan2 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 A little late on this subject, but Harry, your examples are terrific. I've often wondered If the tonneau I made for my Bentley would have been better in papier-mache, and you proved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielG Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Man there are some talented ARTISTES on this forum! A pic of the pump that I built for the fire-truck conversion, maybe not my absolute best but by far the prettiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagoneer81 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 The bed and sides on this L700 were scratchbuilt using Evergreen sheet and strip and Basswood from the wood display at Hobby Lobby. There's roughly 10 hour of work in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Nearly everything in this picture is scratch built. The bed and cabinets are all basswood. The mattress is two thicknesses of basswood covered with tissue. The pillow is just wadded up tissue. The blankets are painted paper towel. The coffee maker and coffee pot are both made from bits of plastic. The sink is half a fuel tank from the parts box, repurposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited December 11, 2012 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzTom Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
