Announcing Model Motorcars e-Journals

Jorge and I are happy to announce thatafter an eight year absence, the prodigal Northern Elf, a.k.a. David Cox, has returned to our World Headquarters with an armful of Pocher construction journals and bushels of color photos. Although it took us a while to remember who he was, we are describing him as ‘one of the early founders of Model Motorcars’ and leaving it at that. (It is possible that some of our customers may remember Mr. Cox, but as any businessman knows, there are risks in any venture which must be borne.)
We are delighted to have his journals and bushels of photographs available to us, and we decided, after a very careful and thorough examination of the contents, that these journals, as disturbing as they may be, can offer valuable insights into what can happen to the unwary Pocher builder. The ‘Northern Elf’* has asked that we mention the appearance of his models at various venues such as Amelia Island, Meadow Brook Hall, and the odd museum here and there, but that seems beside the point.
More importantly, Jorge and I are delighted to announce that we will now have a completely new line of Model Motorcar e-Journals which will be electronically transferred upon receipt of payment. Model Motorcar e-Journals are a perfect complement to our how-to books and prototype photograph CD’s. Never before has so much information been available to the Pocher enthusiast, and we are proud that Model Motorcars is once again an industry leader.

Alfa Romeo Corsa – This is the story of how Detailed Model Cars started with a Pocher “Muletto” and ended up with a tribute to the little known successes of Portugal’s Vaso Sameiro.

Alfa Romeo Coupe – It takes a true cognoscenti to know that among the 8C offerings there was a full range of touring cars. In this e-Journal, Detailed Model Cars builds the magnificent Pocher Dinner Jacket.

Bugatti Type 50 – The Pocher Bugatti Type 50 is arguably the finest kit ever produced in any scale. No small feat to build, the result is a wonderful work of art that will delight the owner for years to come. This is the story of how one of these kits made it from box to display shelf.

Mercedes-Benz Spezial Roadster – Based on the Pocher M-B Rumble Seat Roadster, the Detailed Model Cars Spezial Roadster is an attempt to more accurately capture the distinctive profile of one of the most valuable and beautiful cars from the classic era.

Rolls-Royce Continental Express – In this e-Journal, David captures the look and feel of the great Thrupp and Maberley coachwork while offering the reader an up-close look at the 1934 R-R Phantom II Cabriolet known to Pocher builders far and wide as “The Continental Express”.
