1:1 Scale Model - Maserati 250F

[Steve Holmes]

Anyway, his latest project is a 1:1 scale model of a Maserati 250F. He has always loved these cars, and would one day like to build a fully functioning replica, but for now he has set himself the task of building a 1:1 scale model. So essentially it won't be a functioning vehicle, it won't have an engine, but it will have steering, so it is relatively easy to maneuver. It'll be a display piece. He doesn't want to call it a replica, because he doesn't want people telling him the curve in the rear quarter should be 'such and such' more angle, etc. Its being done pretty much based off pictures of real cars, plus some info on dimensions that he has been able to gather. But essentially its all about feel and 'looking right'.

Brett doesn't muck about when he does these projects. I visited him about a week ago, and all he had were some chalk drawings on the floor which were blown-up versions of sketches he'd made on some A4 paper.

This is some sort of pedal car he started working on and that hangs from his ceiling. Its beautiful, don't you think?
