Moonbug Posted November 9, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 9, 2021 Not sure how many Pocher fans are out there, but I ordered this 1/4 scale Ducati abut a year ago. I put it together a month or so ago. First production run so a few errors on the instructions, etc - but all in all pretty sweet. The box gives you an idea of the size of the thing.

gjdale Posted November 9, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Nice model Bug. I still blame you for my own Pocher addiction. In addition to the Alfa Romeo Spider, I now have another three Pocher classic cars to build. And it’s all YOUR fault!!!!!!!! (Oh, did I say, thank you?) PS My wife has now commissioned me to build a display cabinet specifically for the Pocher cars…….

gjdale Posted November 10, 2021 Share #4 Posted November 10, 2021 Spot on Bug - not sorry at all. 😊 My wife likes the Pocher cars more than my ship models, so she suggested a special display cabinet for them in our dining room. I’m working on the design of this now. I’m being helped by a professional furniture maker with the design process - there appears to be a lot more to it than you might first think! When I finally get around to building it, I’ll post some pics. Expect to start construction around Xmas time-ish.

hollowneck Posted January 23, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Hey Moonbug, I'm a Pocher fan. I asked my wife if I could get a Lamborghini for my 70th birthday. When I told a friend I was granted my wish he was flabbergasted when I texted him these photos of my new, screaming orange Aventador (the first two pics here). The Pocher kit is superb. A real treat to build. I understand that part of the deal with copyright permissions with Lambo was that Pocher could also use the same paint on their kit models as the actual car. Not sure this is true, but damn! - that paint job is amazing on the die cast parts of the kit which has 1,500 parts BTW. The engine, all suspension bits are included (talk about hidden details!) First two photos below are of my completed model which I photographed lying sideways on my front lawn. I waited for a real car to appear in the background not too far from my driveway. The interior is just as detailed and amazing as the exterior. The next two photos are the Real Deal. The last one is a Pocher Kit pic.

hollowneck Posted January 24, 2022 Share #12 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Bug, I bought my Pocher Aventador kit on eBay at a knockdown price a couple years ago. It was going for approximately one-third of the "Suggested Retail" at online hobby dealers. As you know, if you're interested in Pocher models you need to go "International" on your searches as well as do some risk analysis on transactional things. I recall my kit came from Hong Kong (pre-shakedown). Shipping wasn't inexpensive (weight of 25 pounds, boxed!), but heck - I got the kit for an amazing deal. Related to all this, I've kept an eye out for the current Pocher Lambo kit (Huracan), but so far, no luck on a good price; they're hanging tough at about $2K. You may be aware that Pocher car kits come with decent plastic tires - nicely molded, but shiny and given the level of execution and detail in these amazing kits = lame. There is an aftermarket for genuine rubber tires for the model supercars and I went for it: low profile Pirelli's in genuine rubber. $100 for the set, bought with lots of spare $ on the kit steal. These 255/R20's even sit correctly with a little "squish" from the actual weight of the model! I have a good friend from my former ship modeling club who built a Pocher Rolls - made years ago and it's stunning. Here are a couple more pics you may appreciate. Driveway & Dining Room Table moments. ..and three with my Bright Orange Babe Magnet and my HMS Ardent (1764- 64gun) in the photos for the MSW bots. Any guess which one the ladies go for gjdale - the model ship or the car?

I know that most folks would probably think this is ugly but the realism of the decay and the rust build up is incredible and has a beauty of its own. My wife and I took a guided, small group, urban decay, photography tour of abandoned factories and buildings in Detroit a couple of years ago. I found out later that it was actually illegal to enter these ruins but the guide had been doing it for years without a problem. Detroit was one of the world's great cities in the 1930's to 50's before it fell apart and its citizens fled. Exploring these decaying structures filled us with a range of competing emotions. The apocalyptic scenes were both haunting and beautiful at the same time and it was heartbreaking to see how quickly everything had been abandoned as Detroit fell into despair. Companies just shut their doors and walked away essentially leaving everything in place for the scavengers pick over and eventually for nature to reclaim...a modern apocalypse of a once magnificent city.

mtaylor Posted January 26, 2022 Share #22 Posted January 26, 2022 When l lived in St. Louis back in the 70's and early 80's, I used to the same thing... wander around downtown and "visit" the old abandoned buildings. The old train station was wonderful even after they decided to sink money into it and renovate it. It sad to see the decay and abandonment.
