That is exquisite work.

Stay low, keep quiet, keep it simple, don't expect too much, enjoy what you have.

Here is the latest, it is a 1/12th scale Low-Set Milk Cart, or you could call it a 'Milk Float', for very obvious reasons. Original drawings for this vehicle was published in "The Coachbuilder and Saddler", June 1899. Used the normal construction methods, as previously been stated, used Enamel House Paint and the decals are made on the Alps DM5500 printer. Scratchbuilt once again, most nuts and bolts are hand made, BUT, there are a few machine made nuts and bolts used as well, so not 100% Scratched, eh. ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)

Another adequate miniature, and a rather attractive one at that. -- Russ

Here's a 1/12th scale model of a 'Speeding Buggy', once again from the original drawings of J.E.Bishop, printed in "The Australasian Coachbuilder and Saddler, September, 1893".

Used the colour scheme of another old buggy from Adelaide, this time it's a bit of a 'poverty pack', as NO scrolling or lining was on the vehicle from Adelaide, so just followed along with that paint scheme.

This buggy is just another version of a Piano Box Buggy, compared to a Piano Box Buggy there are a few details that are different, so the 'old timers' used another name, to differentiate between them.

What a beautifully simple and elegant little carriage. Pinstriping probably would be superfluous. Most satisfactory. -- Russ

greenie

Thanks Russ it is a very basic vehicle, nothing flash at all, eh. :-)

Bill Gill

Simple, elegant and flawlessly modeled.I hope some day there is a museum that preserves and displays  your work, which deserves no less.
