Or so my wife says in between mutters of you are a mad bugger! and I say but i'm an my dear.
this is what happened this morning when I showed her the latest parts I made for my 1/35 secret project.
below are two pics of a pair of 24 stud Ford Flathead V8 engine heads.
My Question to you is. "Is my beloved wife right about me being nuts and not right in the head?"
any comments welcomed :-)

Don't get upset, mate, but the first comment that came to mind was "Happy Birthday To You" :-) Not being a car guy I can't really comment on the detail, but if you can scratchbuild that small, good on ya!

Costas,
i dont believe he uses magnifiers or he models in a modelling area..probably he is doing all those in a micro surgery room or under electron microscopes.
:-)
great scratch work as always Cliff
this is more than detailing.one day as you finished a model you will see it will come alive and start engine as Pinocchio
