ENTEX 1/16 Scale Harley Davidson 1918 18F 880cc
Next up on the workbench will be this 1918 Harley-Davidson Model 18F. Again made by ENTEX. This will be the third in a series of four that I have built.

Trumpeter 1/16 SU-100, or “How to determine your workbench is level for only 200 dollars”
Originally, this was to be a large, substantial article about the large and substantial 1/16 scale SU-100 assault gun from Trumpeter. Fate intervened and decided instead to teach me the value of having a one-hundred-and-ten-percent level [...]
Almost scratch-built armored car
This was built on the 1/16 scale Mercedes two seat race car. Not a prototype but my rendition of some of the early armored cars. Most of these were a one off built at the local boiler maker shop. I used the chassis and the rest is sheet [...]
