Nice! How'd he do those? And has he painted them?

They're in a "Xerox"-machine, yes? Haha, it actually looks as if they're computer models with some weird filters somebody added just to be cool and vague, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!

Hmm... a quarter's roughly the size of a British Pound coin, no? Certainly much thinner, but I think the diameters are fairly close... on further thought it might actually be bigger... Argh, sorry I can't be of much help

Aha! I just got an international point of comparison. A quarter just fits snugly inside a beer bottle cap, or in other words would cover the top of a beer bottle with no overhang...

An American quarter is approximately 2.3 centimeters in diameter.

Hope THAT helps...

Very nice little models, BTW! I still have my own MicroMachine collection gathering dust somewhere at home...

Why is the picture distorted like that? Did the copying-beam ricochet off of the shining hull???

The Akira , Steamrunner, Norway, Saber, Cardassian and federation fighters are all scratchbuilds from laminated sheet styrene cut sanded and rounded with a 2 part epoxy ribbon - the scans are of the copies made in polyester resin such as an auto body resin with a white color added - these were made from a rubber mold 2 part made from the master. I do not have a digital or regular camera so I scanned and sent to Bernd .

The Defiant was copied in a rubber mold then a resin copy was made and was cut / sanded to agree with the Erytl model kit.

As I have said I can make small numbers of these but cannot paint well- that is why I am willing to trade to get a painted one of each of a long list I have made.
