I've made these 3 over the last few months to go with 2 I finished a few months before. They are a great series and come from Ukrainian businesses so there is a little bit of support there. I have one more to go, a 1911 Speedster. I would really have liked to dedicate one display case to brass era cars, but this is it for now. I've filled the rest of the case with some of my 1920s vans pickups and cars to keep close to the era. I have nearly all of FMs, the green Rolls is to tall to fit on the case shelf, its in a case by itself. And I need the Mercedes Woodbodied Skiff, hard to find and expensive.

They are all very nice, but I really like the bright green one.

This is a wonderful series of early vehicles Geoff. Great builds and that final image of the display case is absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.

thank you gentlemen, your comments mean a lot to me. As John N said recently the kits enable me to add cars/vehicles that would not appear in 1/24 diecast. Brass era and the early history of the automobile intrigues me. The sheer creative engineering skills of the early motor pioneers is amazing, not just mechanical but design as well, and then of course there is the societal impact. FM did a wonderful job with their brass eras. Detail on them is excellent, especially the Balloon Roadster, but my pick is the 1907 green Silver Ghost, particularly because of its 'sedan' body. I've actually used it a couple of times to show others the detail on our 1/24 models. It sits in its own case because of its height.

Geoff, I too use the Rolls to show off details to visitors of my collection.
