Thread: anyone do large scale models as a hobby?

Ryan you can find just about anything for 1/25th scale models. There is very little in 1/8th scale. That's why I'm making these things. There are a lot of guys out there that gave up models because their eyes aren't what they used to be so they started building the large stuff. But there are very few 1/8th kits out there and you can only build them just so many ways. So I'm doing my part to bring new things to the table.

I too have the Big T Roadster model kit that sits patiently waiting for me to finish the real one so that it can be built as the mini copy. 1/18th scale from memory too and I can't even remember what or who manufactured it but it has the triple 2 barrels etc on the SBC so the engine will be close to what the real thing has.

Yes sir, you're correct. Although, I've noticed there aren't many 39 40 Ford tudor bodies right now. I'll get more 1/16 and 1/8 scale stuff later when I might have less projects to complete. I have a 32 Ford 1/8 scale roadster body that I need to buy the rest of the parts for. It was one of those impulse buy kind of things. I did pick up an old 1/25 40 Ford 2 door sedan kit and a 354 Hemi last week. Now I'll have to buy another 354 kit so I can get the dual quads. The other 354 kit I got had the chrome valve covers and supercharger. I'll save the supercharger for later. Maybe if I get the model done, I won't get so easily distracted and quit buying parts for the 68 GS400 etc. Haha

Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. been busy making 1/8th scale bodies. This is the latest and greatest. I've added a 32 Vicky to the lineup. I've also added the 28/29 model A sedan and the 47 ford truck cab and the 32 sedan is next.

I also did a 32 3 window coupe.


Here's a group shot of some of the bodies. 32 ford pickup 33 ford roadster 47 ford truck cab

Very nice!
