Absolutely tunning scratch build by Stefan Marchetti.











Talk about feeling completely inadequate.

I always feel inadequate around Italian race cars.

....and, as if that didn't make me feel like my privates were shriveling and being sucked up into my abdomen.....just saw that he is the same guy that scratch-built these two magnificent pieces.

Tribute to Daniel Simon's 'Detonator' bike from Daniel's "Cosmic Motors" book.

Magnificent! What scale are they? I'm guessing about 1/12.

Good grief that is stunning. The costume on the steam punk girl alone is wonderful work.

[Chuck Doan]

I've been watching these on FB. Highest form of building plus imagination. I think the Bugatti is in 1/8th scale.

[Andi Little]

It's official then ................. "I just assemble kits".

[marc_reusser]

Yes, the Bugatti is 1/8th and the SteamPunk is 1/7....don't know the Detonator bike...but assuming in the range.

Excellent work.

I would love to see some in progress photos of the Bugatti. Is it an all-metal model in the tradition of Gerald Wingrove?

[Barney]

I surrender - back to jigsaws and snap together plastic kits for me + sleeping !!

His FB page has in-progress pics. I think he uses a lot of plastics for the main construction.

When I was learning to play tennis, my Dad told me to always play with someone better. This is as better as it gets.

I'm gonna go play ping-pong with Chinese guys for about 10 years before I look at those pictures again!  -- Dallas
