The Model Engineering Section

of the Internet Craftsmanship Museum

Three years of drawing and twelve years of construction went into this 1/3 scale fully functional Ferrari 312 PB by Pierre Scerri of France. There are not many people who will follow a dream or stick with a project for that long, but people who build masterpieces like the ones shown here have a level of determination that goes beyond what most of us are willing to do. All of the projects shown here are measured in years to build and require the learning and mastery of many new skills before they can be completed. These are truly the best of the best.

Model Engineering Masterpieces

Building a running internal combustion engine is a difficult task, but the additional challenges posed by constructing the complete car puts these model engineers in a class by themselves. Other model engineering projects that involve a mastery of many different techniques and disciplines will also be included in this section.
