Title: Tiny jalopy

Yes, it was challenging, especially the roll cage and nerf bars. It is actually 1/87 scale. I won't be doing any tiny race cars again any time soon! I will stick to the bigger stuff. I am back to building cars, starting with a '32 Ford sedan dirt jalopy.

I think it would look like an 8th scale with a 1:1 scale.
And yes, that build does make your hand look large.

Thanks for the comments!

No, I don't have a model of a model. Interesting idea, though!
