were you gonna make a buck out of the wood eventually?, and is that seat covered in real leather?

Hello Dann,

the wood really could be used to do a sculpture. Good idea.

Yes the seat is covered in real leather. Bought it in a dedicated modelcar shop in Munich 20 years ago.

...Wait!! -is this what you carved out of that wood??!!

Hello Dann,

that is the cardboard model I made with the same sections I used for the wood model I made afterwards.

It was meant to check the proportions. There are a view errors I would have corrected in the wood model.
