I like the choices of prototypes he does. Some very nice metalworking here!
Thanks for the link Chuck,
as you say really interesting choice of prototypes ............ very inspirational had looked before at making a road sweeper... the between the wars ones are really quirky
Nice link. Thanks.

Wow, great models and very interesting prototypes... especially the street sweeper and the streamlined tanker truck. Never knew such a thing existed.
Very Nice work......I like the streamlined tanker truck the best.....would look cool painted in Mobil colors with the flying red horse logo's ;D are all the models 1/48 ?
Seeing this pictures from building a bentley (http://web.me.com/gawingrove/Bentley_Build/Menu.html) by Gerald A. Wingrove here (http://web.me.com/gawingrove/Home_Page/Home_Page.html) and here (http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/wingrove.htm), my eyes getting wide and my mouth getting wider and wider. On the following chinese page (http://bak1.beareyes.com.cn/2/lib/200402/06/20040206080_0.htm) your can see more of the production.
Enjoy!

Damn...there's a silly amount of drool on my keyboard now after flicking through those links Frithjof. Thats an incredible account of an immaculately fabricated piece. Some amazing craftsmanship in a model like that for sure. Makes me very envious of the patience and thought that goes into the actual process of turning flat metal stock into such a beautiful object.
Kind of makes rapid prototyping feel really lazy doesn't it!! ;)
Thanks for the link...I'll be back there for another browse afew times I think.
Cheers,
Dan
You would almost expect to hear the engine...

Yes it does. Now I shall turn over in the hammock and dream about models...of some type!
The best modeling in metal i ever seen :o almost a shame to paint it.
Wingrove wrote a couple of How-To books. I have them both, very nice.

Thankfully though, Dave, or whoever painted it, knew what the hell they were doing with the painting, and did a lovely job.

Perhaps you know this link, which I got recently from a friend, he was unknown to me.
Excellent Model building at its finest: http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/
Especially this side of Francisco Pulido (http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Pulido.htm).

How about some wire sculptures (http://www.makeyousmile.net/great-photos/wire-sculptures)?

Guy!
Thanks for that, I've never seen that one before. I am always amazed how they make the culls to make the body parts, seems simple enough? Try it you'll go mad!
