Scott Glatstein
Minnetonka, Minnesota
The OcCre 1/24 scale San Francisco cable car builds up from 3/32-inch plywood, wood strips, cast metal, and brass rods. Scott based it on car No. 60, which dates back to the earliest days of the cable car system in 1907 and has been rebuilt twice. His model represents the current car in service including added safety items, like safety mats, leather hand holds, and step-ups textured with 600-grit sandpaper. Scott spent a whopping 350 hours building and 10 hours cleaning up sawdust!
