That's spectacular work.

How much of those scale models do you fabricate yourself, and how much is from a kit?

Thanks!

In regards to "scratch-building" (building from raw materials), it really depends upon the model. This one is mostly kit parts, but from several different kits - you can tell that from the different colors of plastic. The spots where you see "basic" shapes in white plastic, such as the upper control arm mounts and rear chassis extension, were created from raw plastic stock. And in this case, the body is actually a cast resin replica of an old out-of-production kit body.

I also turn some aluminum parts, like the outer rim of the wheels.
