Ricky Couch

Wednesday, January 24. 2007
Sad news for the modelling world today. Ricky Couch, known for his creative and innovative custom projects, passed away today as a result of peritonitis and related problems. His models were unique not only in their design, but also for Ricky's liberal use of Bondo and turned metal parts. Many of his models were almost entirely scratchbuilt, and he served as inspiration for modelers of all genres. Even those of us who did not know him personally knew his work, and he will be missed.



If you'd like to learn more about Ricky Couch & his work, they were featured recently in the August 2006 issue of Scale Auto Magazine. You can also read more about his influence on the Scale Auto boards here and here.
