Original Issue Revell 1907 Sears - something really from the past!

[Faust]

In the past couple of years, thanks to my friend Alan who sent me my 1909 Hupmobile, I’ve had a real love for Brass Era cars not only come into focus, but also turn into a major theme for my modelling acquisitions. I’ve bought many Pyros in the last few years, and recently came across some of the ancient Revell Highway Pioneers kits.

 

For something fun and different, I decided to tackle one of these little artifacts, and the first one I chose was the 1907 Sears Autobuggy. This weird high-wheeled, tassle-topped horseless carriage had a charm even more out of left field than normal Brass Era cars.

 

It was a thrill putting together a kit from what is essentially the dawn of the American plastic modelling industry, and I will say that I’m pretty pleased with how modern tools helped build up this little piece of history. Check it out, and let me know what you think!
