Great workmanship.I always wanted to learn how to scratch build stuff.Any chance you would be able to give some pointers.Starting off is probably the hardest.

Well it is good to have the item say like the scout car in say 1/35 scale un-built then with vernier calipers start measureing then figure out the multiplication factor for instance Xx35 giving you the full real to life size then divide that 16 this gives you the 1/16th size now divide the the 1/16 size by the 1/35 size will give you the multiplier number now every measurement you get on the 1/35 scale part you just multiply it by the factor to get the 1/16th size which comes out to a factor of 2.1875

Excellent job. I am always amazed by those of you who build these from scratch. Truly and art form. Me, lacking the skills and certainly patience for a project that meticulous, opt to purchase pre-fab toy models, built by 21st centuly toys. Pre-painted, pre made, just snap 'em together and they are ready for me to play with. I still havn't completely grown up I guess.
