The Show was a huge sucess!

It was a really fun and elegant weekend on Florida’s Amelia Island. We had over 30 models from several States, Germany and Mexico participate in the Large Scale Concours d'Elegance at Amelia Island. Needless to say, the competition for Awards was extremely close owing to the high quality of all the entries! The judges did an outstanding job.

The winners of the awards presented that day were:
Best in Show - Louis Chenot with his fantastic 1932 SJ Dusenberg
People's Choice - Louis Chenot
Modelers' Choice - Richard Beggs with his beautifully built Watson Special Indy racer.

We believe everyone was a winner that weekend! The amount of time and care spent building these models is a testimony and inspiration to all younger modelers whether beginners or advanced.

The Bugatti Tire and Wheel

After many months of effort, the Bugatti Tire and Wheel will be ready to ship in a few  weeks. The Tire is similar to the other marquees...that is; they are soft and flexible, matte finished and (most importantly) they are prototypically thinner. We had to make a new, thinner Wheel to fit the Tire...for more photos and information...click here

A Model of the Merceedes-Benz 54oK Cabriolet A, chassis no.421988

This model was a collaboration between Brian Yingling and Model Motorcars. Brian built the body elements, headlights, bumpers and wheels; we built the interior, windshield, trim, hardware and  final assembly with paint. For more photos click here.

In 1991, we started Model Motorcars with a focus on building the legendary Pocher 1:8 scale classics and a dedication to the enjoyment of building these models. During the past 20 years, we have built many Alfa Romeos, Bugattis, Fiats, Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce scale motorcars and, in doing so, have developed over three hundred parts that you can use on your own Pocher project. In addition, we have written books and published CD's that go into great depth about the Pocher building process. And finally we have compiled a vast catalog of hardware, tools and machines that have become invaluable to us throughout the years.

Our history is captured in the Model Motorcars Gallery while our friends from every continent display their incredible skills in the International Pocher Museum. As modelers ourselves, we are proud to be part of this great community of craftsmen and are today, as we were when we began, dedicated to helping you enjoy building Pochers as much as we do. We thank you for all of your wonderful contributions to Model Motorcars and to everyone we wish you a lifetime of Happy Pochering!
