The first car!  Spent some time drilling 1/16th holes for wheel spokes (copper wire).  I marked the location for each hole with an awl before drilling to keep the bit from wondering.  Most parts, wheels, steering, engine parts all rotate.   Plan from Forest street designs.  One of my favorite models.

Lots of detail!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Tim, that is wonderful. Some great details and the wheels look outstanding, and you even went over the top with a pdded seat. Well done.

Tim, wonderful reproduction of the MB vehicle.    Have seen an actual one, in the Brumos Porsche Museum in Jacksonville, Fl. a few years ago.    Interesting vehicles, both your model and the one at the Museum.
