My Wooden model car thread

[DEFENDER90]

During the first Covid lockdown in 2020 I started making wooden model cars in an attempt to keep my sanity. I mainly use Rosewood, Walnut, Maple and Kiaat. I use photos off the net with as much as possible detail and then also get the vehicle basic dimensions. I decide which scale I want ( mostly 1:8 or 1:10 ) and then measure the sizes on the photo and calculate the dimensions to use. The average time spent per model is 100 to 140 hours. Hope you guys enjoy the photos.

That's on another level, heirlooms to be proud of! I can only marvel at your skill (and patience).

Wow! Respect

[Francois Theron]

I can ownly stare in amazement! This is something else! Beautiful! Can you broadly describe the process you follow, especially with that Cobra? How do you get the shape so symmetrical?

[Mike Greeff]

Oh my word! Definitely above my pay grade. Those are beautiful.

I like the cobra most. The only criticism I can make is lack of attention to detail. The landrover doesnt have any oil stains under it. That is some seriously good work there . Well done.

Thank you for the compliment. The Land Rover can not leak oil because it WOODEN start.😂
