scrap steel model art

Continuing to amaze us Dave, more great work   

ok time for THUNDERBIRD 2 ,,like the rest of the things i have made,,there not exact and have my spin on it..i had a small version when i was growing up,,then about 20 years ago i bought a thunderbirds set,,with no1 no2 no3 no 4 and the car in it...hopefully i will make the lot out scrap steel,,,,thunderbird2 is 65cms long and wing span of 46cms,,,,this took a bit longer to make because of all the curves and contours,,about 10 hours

These would look pretty impressive and unusual hanging from the trees in the back yard mate, nice work yet again.  

That's awesome!

All of those are true pieces of art. You have an excellent eye for scrap art.....I wish I had time to try stuff like this. 10/10

Absolutely awesome!!!!!! Would love to see one chromed. They put me in mind of those 1950's? art deco airliners and things you used to see at your Nanna's place when you were a kid.

anyone remember STAR WARS,,,ok joking,,this is my spin on the XWING and TIE fighters,,,,i made the 1st set (1 xwing 2 tie fights ),,then made another set to sell,,,,then somehow both sets ended up together,,,,,x wing rotates on a bearing to change view,,,each set took about 8 hours to build

WOW some more awesome metal work.

And a bit of Thunderbirds thrown in for good luck too!!!

Yet more more impressive work Dave.

ok 1st truck for the year,,went for the cartoonish race style type look,,,,,,,took 2 1/2 hours to make,,weights a tone,,lol,,,50cms long

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Great imagination mate. love it!!   

just two words..... bloody awesome.

DANG ! am i watching "Mad Max" here ? beautiful work; i've never seen anything like this type of art; perfect !

my spin on a F1/INDY style racecar,,90% done,still needs some end plates on the wings ,a seat and wheel,,,not as heavy as the trucks,,yah,,45cms long

Just Brilliant !!! Another work of art mate.
You have enough pieces to hold an exhibition. Great stuff again.

Another cool metal model.

Man you've got some skill awesome job on the f1 indy car whats next?

Another work of art there mate.  

Words fail me and its time like this only having 2 thumbs is real disadvantage !!!

I think we need to change your name to Metal Angelo !

Very cool stuff. Always good to come and check this thread.

thanks heaps on the replies, there always very encouraging and its always good to know that someone else gets my style ,,even if its only from a picture,,,,sometimes 2d doesn't do 3d justice ,there all around the house and im still seeing different things depending on light and from where im viewing them from.

I have made several different gifts and surprises for family and friends ,,,,and i have just started a piece for somebody I have never meet and more than likely will never meet,,,,this person is doing something pretty special for other people and I have been made aware that this person loves 1 of my previous pieces,,so the plan is to spend 5 or 6 hours making another 1 as close to what has been seen,,then mail it and surprise them with it.

when its gets there I will post a few pics.

That's so cool. I prefer to build models of other people's cars and trucks and give it to them. I don't have much room at home plus it feels great to see them happy to have a mini version of their vehicle. I've done one for my grandfather, father in law and my brother to give to his father in law so far. Plan to do more. Cheers.

Panelvan no2 is almost finished,,,a little different to no1,,,here is hoping the person getting this will be surprised and likes it.

If they are not ...I will be ...send it to me ..I would be over the moon.

Brilliant work
