Anyone here into large scale (1/8) car models???

I'm currently working on a much better 32 ford 5 window coupe body. It should be available mid to late February. I fixed the firewall, added drip rails, replaced the rear window, reshaped the quarter windows, fixed the saggy trunk lid up near the sailpanel (actually replaced the trunk lid with a roadster kit lid), fixed the sunkin upper cowl, added a soft top, filled the pinholes, added the die stamped marking in the fender wells, and fixed the belt line reveal because they were square and just way too pronounced.

 

This is the 1/8th scale 1930 model A coupe that I make.

 

All looks good Jim... my 5w from George has the too narrow rear quarter window. Love the top insert!

 

Jim, your 5w is looking a lot better than the ones they sell on ebay. That's why I haven't bought one. But I might be up for one of yours, although the big deuce kits are getting really expensive!

 

Thanks man. I want to add the leather insert before I cast it but I was also thinking what if someone wanted a filled roof? So I may offer it like it is and sell the black leather to install.

 

Here's one from Model Cars Magazine.... Monogram 1/8 '65 Vette.... This guy's gifted....

 

WOWOWOWOW. Super nice job. Thanx for posting.

 

No problem!...
Builds like this need to be seen....

 

Holy crap that's nice!

 

They look like 1/8 scale to me....
Sorry... These are the only pictures I have....

 

Yes they are 1/8th scale made by John hockney studios.

 

Cool....

 

A Cool thread. With lots of talent, and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing. Here's an old 1/8 Tub that I built as a kid. Ron.......

 

I have the new release of the "BiG TuB".... I plan on using the old parts pack wheels on it....

 

I have some NOS Monogram parts packs if your looking for some...

 

My new Eddie Myers flathead intake set-up. Two options for the air cleaners. Teardrop or two separate round.

 

I'm good, thanks though..

 

An old 1/8th dragster I built years ago. Ron.....

 

Dig it... mine has just the solid red plastic.

 

Awesome!....

 

i'm not sure if you need to join to see the photos, but anything from Codger is worth reading. he recently passed away, and it's a loss to builders of all scales not to have his supportive criticisms.

Just wow!!!!!.....
This is 1/8 scale at its finest....
I'd go out of my mind trying to assemble one of these Pocher kits....

 

NOT a model but such a coincidence this appeared in my PreWar Car weekly email this morning:



Car Rolls Royce 20/25 'Dreadnought Special' 1931 for sale - PreWarCar

77 available photos if anyone is as stoked as I

 

at 1:5 scale, this is approaching "real car" size, but the details are phenomenal :

 

also an interesting channel but turn the sound down:

 

Wow!.....

 

I'd like to build at least one of these, but the prices now are just stupid.

 

There are just a handful of artisans in the world that can fabricate models like these by hand, and the finished models go for amazing amounts. But where else can you get a model like this? I'm sure their clients are more than satisfied with the results.

 

The 1/8th scale Lincoln Flathead V12 engine with an ARDUN overhead valve conversion is ready go and are available in 3 styles potvin blower edition, fuel injected edition, and the carburetor edition. Shoot me an email if you're interested. Cheby33@gmail.com
