1910 SEARS MOTOR BUGGY

[kenlwest]

Here is the finished 1910 Sears Motor Buggy.  In scale, the model is a little delicate and flimsy, so I pinned the wheels to an MDF base.  The jackstands are not really necessary, but over time, sag could be an issue, so this is an insurance policy.  In fact, many brass era cars in museums use jackstands to take pressure off the tires, and keep the car level.  Weak springs are common. 

The model is not perfect by a long shot, but at 1/8 scale it looks good enough for me and the shelf.  I hope you enjoyed the build in the WIP section.  Thanks for watching!

This was so much fun to see coming together and the results really are something unique. It's really a model you should be proud of, using the cutting edge of techniques to represent the very beginnings of the motorcar.

The model is a museum piece!

Beautiful build and not something seen very often. It does look like it's in a museum.

Very nicely finished!?

[Yeah Nah]

Amazing delicate work. True modelling art. I'm guessing Sears never offered air conditioning and turbo options.....  

[Jim B]

That's awesome, and now Sears is almost no more.

[Kenmojr]

Fantastic model and worthy of a museum exhibit. Incredible work. Sears is now K-mart, in future will it be referred to as the K-Mart Kar? LOL
