Thanks for watching! Build video will be up soon!

I'm very tempted by this kit, I particularly want the version with Mrs Benz and her two boys.

[@BOABModels]

I've just finished it and I was very impressed by it.

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

It's a Great kit. Looking forward to your build. I'll be watching

[@BOABModels]

Thanks very much, Mike. Video is up later today

[@ScaleAutoGarage]

Interesting subject. Looking forward to your build.

[@BOABModels]

Thanks Spencer. The build is done now and I'm working on the video

[@richardlee1092]

Thomas that certainly is unlike anything you’ve built before! Those spokes look great without being photo-etched should be a quick fix on the broken one. Very interesting looking kit. Look forward to your video.

[@BOABModels]

Thanks Richard! Fortunately the broken spoke went back together very easily although I will say they look a little out of scale compared to the real one. If anyone was really fussy about accuracy, I'd recommend the photo etch ones

Cool. I have built a 1886 Daimler-Benz by minicraft it has four wheels.

[@BOABModels]

Nice! The additional wheel certainly was an improvement on this design.

[@davidchin350]

Nice kit, not much car except wheels and a carriage.😊

[@BOABModels]

You're right there! Pretty much all the parts of the real car are there though.

[@Sarah-JaneR32]

I’ve seen builds of those and looks fiddly, interesting to hear your thoughts on the kit as I’ve never built a kit from that manufacturer, model on

[@BOABModels]

Thanks, Sarah Jane. It certainly is fiddly and quite fragile. I have the ICM Model T Ford kit as well as they seem to be keen on vintage and veteran cars.
