KiwiMike Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 This is the culmination of 3 years modelling off & on by myself & Jack Martin. The car ran at Bonneville 2008 but didn't live up to expectations. The model is in 1/16th and is entirely scratchbuilt
Mike Kucaba Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Awesome build and presentation!! The second photo puts a new slant on "disc" wheels

Jantrix Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Wow, that's quite impressive. Fantastic work.
LAone Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 honestly all i can say is wow. superb build. the detail on the engine is dead on bro.
Peter Lombardo Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 This is WAY beyond impressive....this is way beyond what we normally do.
george 53 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 It just blows my mind the way guys from outside the U.S. can get such details down SO pat!!!! That is a VERY impressive model, Mike! I'm looking forward to seeing more of you work, PLEASE!!!! :)
Draggon Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 This is WAY beyond impressive....this is way beyond what we normally do. I'm with Peter. Before I blew up the thumbnails I thought you had included pics of the real thing. This is fantastic!
seeker589 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 THAT is the quality I aspire to. very nice detailing.
Modelmartin Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 That is very impressive work. You obviously know what you are doing. Bonneville cars have professionalism and quirkiness going on at the same time and you captured it perfectly.
Roger U Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 That is an amazing model, BEAUTIFUL!!!! If you have more models of Bonneville cars please post them. Thank you for showing this build.
KiwiMike Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) That is an amazing model, BEAUTIFUL!!!! If you have more models of Bonneville cars please post them. Thank you for showing this build. Thanks all for the postive replies. This was a commission build so we don't have anymore Bonneville models to post. We have 3 more to build, 2 to this level and the next one will be displayed with the body off so will feature more detail. Here are a few more shots of the model in progress and finished Regards KiwiMike Edited January 28, 2011 by KiwiMike
Chris C Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Mate, that is unbelievable! My hat's off to you sir!
Scott Colmer Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Wow! That is a killer model. Excellent proportions and detail. AWESOME!!!!
