    Scratch built model cars, very detailed

    These cars took 2-3 years each to complete. I designed and built them completely from scratch. Check out my websites for pictures and more info.

    EXCELLENT EXCELLENT JOB!!

    I see in the descriptions that one of them is 32" long, so it roughly converts to 1/5 scale? OMG. Thats is AWSOME!!

    You should contact "Modelers" magazine because they had featured another guy who spent years scratch built a classic car (Duesenberg ? Can't remember). You deserved to be known!

    Those are both GREAT! I love the extreme detail. Even the valves open. That's amazing!

    Thanks for the replies. I just sent an e-mail to Scale Auto Magazine with my web URLs. It had never even crossed my mind to do that, thanks for the idea. I might e-mail some car magazines too.
