Feel free to express your custom model ideas and projects in this forum! I myself am a customizer/tinkerer of diecast models I will keep this forum updated with the models I build for myself and customers.

Still working on my washplant. Progress has been slow due to work and school though.

As Hummer13 said, use the original dimensions. A lot of attachment companies will provide you with the dimensions for their products, just take and convert them to the scale you are building. For example, divide them by 50 for 1:50 scale, etc. Just make sure you measure the coupling points and confirm that they'll fit, if not make the necessary adjustments on your modeling program so that they do.

If you can't find the original dimensions on websites or brochures, try contacting the companies directly and ask for them. You can also make up your own stuff.

Here's what I've been working on. It's a 345B processor. I'm about halfway done with it, sorry if the pictures are a little big.
