I vacillate wildly between thinking that 1/16 scale is the best, them dreaming of going to 1/6 scale as the ultimate. But given the reality of life, 1/16 is where it's going to have to be. So I agree....but still....

Cheers,
Eric.

Some pictures for Jim, i spent a long time building this with Catherine. Alot of cleaning of parts and assembling and gluing and screwing of parts.
Its now ready to set sail and go off to Jim.
Catherine will be making a small advertisement in the vendors section aswell as we are building another one now. I hope it doesn't sell so i can keep it as this little beauty came out great. I want one now
It certainly isn't an easy build, but its totally worth it and it works great if i do say so myself.

Remarkable, absolutely remarkable! I think Jim's going to crap when he see's it in person!

Cheers,
Eric.

Wow! Simply amazing craftsmanship. That’s beautiful inside and out. Functional door handles and all! It is very obvious that a lot of research and effort went into designing this model and you have no idea how proud I am to be receiving it. I’m almost nervous about painting, detailing and weathering it good enough to do it justice. But I’ll sure as hell try! Thanks for posting the photos.

HA! Anytime!

Just got to love the look of that drivetrain! Those U-joints rule!

Yes! The entire drivetrain looks to be uber solid. Very high quality work is evident.
