Hello members
I'm Carlos Ferreira from Portugal, and I am migrating from future late Scale 143.com as sugested.
My activity in 1/43 scale is basically recreating real prototypes, sports and GT cars from old diecasts from Corgi, Dinky, Solido, Polytoys, etc. Also some road cars that i like.
Most work is essentially manual, I'm kind of short on tools, especially to work metal with precision. Although I can say that I have a collection, my main pleasure is the work, the process itself, not the number.
In time I expect to bring here some of the topics that I put before in Scale 143.com. If not, then it is a good sign, since I am a freelance architect, and too much time in 1/43 usually means less work...
best regards
Carlos

Although I can say that I have a collection, my main pleasure is the work, the process itself, not the number. I hate to call a member out as a liar but we've all seen your posts Carlos. The work is very high quality, so I'm highly dubious of the statement about not having enough precision tools....  Just in case anything got lost in translation, I'm just joking and giving a compliment. |
