KiwiMike Posted January 26, 2011 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelmartin Posted January 27, 2011 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger U Posted January 27, 2011 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiMike Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
