1895 Duryea

[Bobchayer]

1895 Duryea, 1/25 scale, resin casting manufactured by Genesis2Scale LLC, Tampa, FL in 2010. Very porous casting that took a lot of filling and sanding. This is the only model produced.

Some very delicate work there Robert. Well done and I think this might take the prize for a model of the earliest car I've seen on this forum!

Great job and the most unusual subject.  Love it!  I love those early years of cars.

As unique as any build I've seen lately. Very nice. Talk about automotive roots!

Very cool model. Nice work on this resin kit. I quite like the simple, very early cars (and other era machinery), but kits are virtually non-existent. Great scratchbuilding subjects, though.

The wheels on the original car were wood with iron treads, just as on a horse draw wagon.wagon.
