Another fine video look at this Cadillac automobile and Brooklin 1/43 white metal replica, John. A very impressive job they have done on this one and the details are remarkable and beautifully done. Really nice !

..... white-metal interior trim?    Wow, now that's impressive.   This Cadillac looks amazing, congratulations to the Brooklin staff; they're a gifted bunch.

@chris, Darren Mould, the man who crafts the masters, is a wizard. He works in conjunction with the crew at SMTS, using CAD-CAM and 3D printing to help make molds. But Darren refines them and brings it all together.

Here is a picture of a 355B..................

The hood vents are chrome and it has a hood ornament. Maybe the Pope got cheap about adding blink to his ride and deleted them on his order LOL.

I don't want to steer the pot about accuracy and scale on many details of this model. There is a tremendous workload these artisans have gone through production and this is a nice model without any doubt.

At the bottom line, this shows that the metal media is stretched to the limit about what can be done to keep to scale on every part that should match the overall product to be in harmony and be pleasurable to look at. As an observation to bring my point, I believe the luggage rack should have been wider.

Nicely stated, Nickies. The car in the Vatican Collection was made specifically for the Pope. I would assume there are differences between that car and the standard production models. Here's a pic of the 1:1

@nickies There are a few differences on the car in the NB Center compared to the other Cadillacs out there. This model is a copy of the car in the NB Centre and it was an official Vatican car. The luggage rack is correct and there are differences in trim.

Amazing 1932 Caddy by Brooklin. Very sophisticated miniature, indeed. It is made with great attention to details and shows how Brioklin changed in cimparasion with old issues. I hope that Brioklin team will go on.
