Holy moly! That would be nice work in 1/24th scale. In 1/87th it's downright awesome!

Yeah, he made his own tires and stuff but is that the best he can do?
Seriously, that is one extraordinary model. Your pal has exceptional modeling skills!
Has Joe ever been published? If not, the world is really missing out on a topnotch artist.

Where did they get that giant penny? That truck couldn't be that small with that kind of detail.

This sequence of shots really points out the importance of the paint job. When I reached the third picture from the top, I was feeling discourged by how primitive the castings appeared. By once painted - Wow!

I'm sure Joe would appreciate all the comments from this esteemed group. Good question Russ. Joe and a few other 1/87 vehicle modelers were featured in a supplement put out by the now defunct Model Railroader a few years ago and I have included him in several of my articles. He is also featured in the Online Craftsman Museum which some of you may be familiar with (and probably should be in as well). This site is sponsored by the manufacturers of the Sherline milling machine and the work is truly impressive: http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/modelmus.htm

That's some pretty incredible modeling, Chester, and all the more so since it's done in HO. Joe ought to put together an article for Russ. His work deserves to be seen by a wider audience than online venues and forums.

Very impressive, Chester, thanks for sharing. Seeing all the parts Joe rebuilt is one of the great features of the topic. This is the kind of modelling that always urges me to return to the benchwork, even if it is to build things completely different.
