kenlwest Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 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! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Porter Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Nah Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Amazing delicate work. True modelling art. I'm guessing Sears never offered air conditioning and turbo options..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmojr Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
