Hello everyone. Here is my latest work,scratchbuilding an Aston Martin AM4 1/18 Sultan of Brunei. This car has been on my holy grail list as a 1/43 collector,but since I cannot find anywhere any Ban Seng,which has many many flaws,I decided to start making one from Scratch. It is a really tough job,since I spent about 6 months reading and practising on how to do it. I have plans producing it in about 20 pcs,if there are people who are interested.Every weekend,I will post some of my progress.

Margaritis, I have edited your post so that we can all enjoy the pictures in full size - I hope you do not mind :o)
If you want to continue doing the same, use the "Direct Link" code that Postimage provide for each picture; copy & paste it here with 'img' tags (by using the image button:  )
This is going to be fascinating project! I will also be following this closely...

Scratch building a large scale car is quite a project, and it is great to see one on this forum.

Margaritis, are you cutting each of those cards by hand?

It is an interesting way how you shape the form.
But I keep wondering how you plan to turn this solid shape in to a model.
