You shouldn't have put the box in the photo, we could have all had a gues at what you were building then.......  |

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

maybe one day they'll be finished. ;D I know how you feel, as I have too many models that I'm building at the moment (as well as several more waiting to be started, which I won't bother listing here...): Plastic kits: 1:8 scale Jag E Type Coupe (Revell not Pocher, unfortunately) 1:24 '64 Pontiac GTO hardtop (couldn't resist as grandad used to have a convertible) The following are all scratch built: '37 Riley Lynx Sprite tourer (all opening panels etc) - chassis and all body done, but needs repainting as I haven't done anything for about 4 years - the rest is still to be made. Approx 1:16 scale, with balsa chassis, wood wheels, & paper / card body panels. Silver foil for chrome. Jensen Interceptor Convertible (all opening panels etc) - chassis / understructure built, all running gear / mechanicals awaiting finishing & fitting. Still need to do outer panels & interior. Paper, with wood wheels & axles. Approx 1:14 scale. VW Beetle Hebmuller - being made as a proper cut out paper / card kit, so no opening panels unlike the rest of my scratch builds, which are far too complicated. Almost finished, but have been too busy recently. 1:18 scale When I get the chance, I'll take some pics of the scratch-builds, if anyone is interested  |

Guys, I'm afraid that you'll have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest, but I'll try and post some pics then (remember that these are paper models, so not as impressive as Ratdat's efforts).

Aahh! We're all admitting to model making now!
Yes please, pictures of scratch built cars from AS. Ever seen BareMetalFoil? It's fantastic. I use it for all my chrome work.
RatDat, you're too clever by half. That looks superb.
Tonycocacola, I used to do military stuff and learned loads from reading Military Modeller (I think), especially the really clever ones who scratch built using brass etc.
Maybe I'll put some pics of my latest efforts up.

TonyC,
For one tassle, take a piece of gold sweet paper foil (or similar) glue a piece of gold thread to it for dangling, then roll the paper really tight. Glue. When dry, cut to length of tassle, then make a series of cuts down the length of the roll to make the tassle bits. SOunds simple, but I've never tried it, just an idea.
