Glen English's Scratch-Built Motorcycle Replicas

Ғылым және технология

While in Cornwall, England learning armor-making from legendary armorer Terry English, Adam Savage visits the workshop of modelmaker Glen English, who scratch-builds scale replicas of racing motorcycles. Glen, an accomplished road racer himself, shares with us his meticulous process crafting his museum-quality miniatures.

    Used to be a lot of it. Hobbyists saving up the pennies and buying an old third hand bench top lathe and "Drill/mill" to tinker with, Then spending the weekends in their sheds creating stuff from scratch...... But these days most kids don't seem to want to get their hands dirty, So they never learn the skills needed. :(

    Hello Glen, I spoke to your dad yesterday for the first time to thank him from one armourer to another for all the years of inspiration... he is such a prolific maker... His body of work is absolutely breathtaking as is his eye for proportion and detail... there really is a Terry English style. He invited me over to talk rivets and perhaps as my speciality is miniature armour, if you like... Beers are on me, it would be great to meet, I love your work only I have only just discovered it... DAMN! From one miniaturist to another, one GIANT (but very small high five)! 😂Best wishes to you and yours, and keep up the great work, from me (and all the mice in the workshop) . 🏆

    this is the most impressive kind of craftsmanship to me. as much as i love to see a space-age looking workshop with the most cutting-edge tools, this guy is making PERFECT, better than factory-made looking components in what (and no offense) looks like a shack filled with junk. that kind of quality, with rudimentary looking tools, from a tiny messy workshop like that. amazing!!!

    Beautiful model! I've only ever seen one MV on the road in all my life. It was about 20 years ago -- a 125 with full race fairing. That's it. Never seen one since. Super rare! But, I did once meet Phil Read coming out of a classic car dealer's. Rare stuff from rare days when motorcycles looked like motorcycles, and still had that sense of adventure about them. :0)
