Superdetailed Pocher Monza 8C (1)
Pocher kits are difficult task, but the potential for superdetailing is awesome...
Here's my attempt on the Alfa 2300 Monza 8C... For starters, I'll use no glue, everything will be assembled with scale hardware, bought or scratchbuilt...this allows dissasembly of subassemblies anytime and gives a realistic look to the whole model... First 5 pics shows some parts cast in Zamak using the kit's parts as masters... Pics 6 & 7 shows some of these metal parts rectified, polished, painted, decalled and with scale hardware in place....they'll go to the waiting box... In pic 8 we see the engine's block with the metal cylinders in place... Pics 9 to 15 shows an engine stand, made to 1/8 scale of the stand used by the boys at the Alfa factory back then....this shows the importance of research of 1/1 data for superdetailing tasks.... In a next post, we'll see some more... Thanks for looking Mario Last edited by mario lucchini; 10-18-2009 at 04:50 PM.

Re: Superdetailed Pocher Monza 8C
Very nice!! I built one of these a few years ago, but not nearly as detailed as yours.

Hello Mario,
I love your post, really great! The Pochers are great cars, I managed to get mine but I did not get a chance to start yet, still too much to learn. I will definitely follow your posts. regards, Marc

Superdetailed Pocher Monza 8C (2)
Second part of the Alfa build....
A pictorial sequence showing the preparation of the transmission housing, from the sprue parts to the finished edition... Lots of sanding, puttying, more sanding, special scratchbuilt parts & hardware, fitting, testing, uffff!...you name it!, BUT, this is what it's all about when superdetailing... Tried to give this subassembly that "one piece look" which makes the difference.... Again, no glue was used at all, you can dissasemble this anytime, providing you have my miniature wrenches.................... The final effect was the airbushing of the transmission with automotive acrylic laquer with a "graphite" hue in it which looks nice (According to me, hee, hee....) To the waiting box once again... Till the next one! Mario

Re: Superdetailed Pocher Monza 8C (2)
Impressive stuff!
 Looking forward to see more of this build, possibly in one and the same thread. If you keep posting every update in a new thread it will become impossible to follow the whole process.

Re: Superdetailed Pocher Monza 8C (3)
We continue rolling with ............part of the compressor, carburator and air intake.
In this subassembly, the 1/1 data was followed as faithfully as possible, the Pocher kit lacks detail in these parts... Curious note: the rivets holding the warning label are 0.5 mm diameter on their heads, the hole to attach them is 0.2 mm diameter which implies the use of some VERY delicate watchmakers drills!...  Note the scratchbuilt brass flanges to receive multiple hoses in later stages.... The waiting box is looking busy at this stage... I'm liking this build...  Mario

Re: Superdetailed Pocher Monza 8C
Hello!
Very impressive kit (I have it in my "stock"),and impressive scratch skills... If I could make one critic, cast parts would really look great if they had this textured effect wich imitates sand casting surfaces. Hope to see some progress fast. Regards Olivier.
