No, I meant working minature ones. I only ask cos the two things usually go together - home hobbyist + machine tools. Your work looks like you're capable...

Now I've understand, in the past I have already built an internal combustion engine of 15cc model airplane use.
It is long and complex works, now I prefer to play with toy cars.

That's is detailed beautifully. Did you create that from scratch? I could hardly believe it...

Top notch work buddy, those door cards are amazing. Did you use tissue to create the door pockets?



They look really good...

The work was done using various thicknesses of polystyrene, a good bit of scoring,
and a little experience.
The door pockets with adhesive aluminum sheet din then corrugated.
I'm glad you like them.

Awesome work. Getting more and more curious how this car will look when it's finished. B)

Love to see this sort of thing, can stare at the scalers etc at shows for hours. For me, it doesn't matter whether or not I like the vehicle, I just appreciate the hard work & attention to detail that goes into them.
Engine-wise, I've done a few & always enjoy it. The latest one was a minature "Hit-n-miss" 4-stroke petrol engine, 19mm bore x 20mm stroke (I think). Made everything on that one, right down to piston rings, valves, gears, springs & fasteners! Runs beautifully & is a joy to watch
