Just finished it for Jack and sending it off today (sans Pub!). Couldn't resist showing off!!

 

[drooartz]

How do you make those?

 

[bugimike]

modelling clay, a magnifier, a couple of tools, itty-bitty fine brushes & patience! Should really be putting time into the real one but less scraped knuckles working on one of these!

 

[vping]

Neat!

 

[sideache]

That's Great!

 

[drooartz]

I'm duly impressed. Lots of talented, creative folks around here. Nice work.

Looks nice. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif

What size/scale is it?

 

[bugimike]

Generally, these (see attachment) are close to "N" guage, though this one is larger (approx. 1" long) and was a gift made to be a key-chain ornament for Miss Agatha (see jlaird posts in the Spridget forum). These are not "scale models", but rather miniature impressions of a particular vehicle. The Pub is actually a piece numbered #41 from Artware Studios in Congleton, England that just looked right with the car! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
PS those are "hot wheels" in the background just for a sense of scale!

ARGHH! A supercharged 100-4 Healey. I don't mind the V-8 conversions, but a supercharger poking through the bonnet is beyond the pale....

 

[bugimike]

Blame Hot Wheels!! I found it at a jumble sale and didn't have a big Healey among my "toys", so I bought it. Other than that horrible blower though it is a nice casting! I was trying to attach a picture of some of the tiny road racer I have built, but the files were too large to post. Will have to modify... stay tuned! There, got it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
PS these show wear because they were actually used as playing pieces for a racing board-game and actually have a couple of 24hour marathons under their belts!!
