Centenarian Motoring - 1910 Buick (OOB)
Posted by Faust on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 6:43 PM
Finding new subjects to model is one of the great parts of this hobby, at least for me. When I branched out into building cars about 13 years ago, I never thought I’d build much more than a couple ‘80s loser machines. Well, then I found models of Street Vans, and Japanese Cars, and then weird Japanese cars, and it just spiralled from there.
 
My most recent source of interest is, as some of you know, Brass Era (BE) cars. I remember seeing these in museums I’d go to with my Uncle when I was little, and always thought they were cool. Now, I have started to set my sights on collecting kits of them! There are more early car kits than I thought, and I was lucky to find a bunch all at once in late 2021. When I posted the haul, I was surprised to find that the one most people wanted to see was actually the 1910 Buick!
 
So, check out the interesting and really very cool 1/32 Life-Like 1910 Buick Model 10 at the link below and you can see how Pyro and Life-Like were bringing the dawn of motoring to life half a century ago!

I wish in general there were more Buick kits out there from 1956 on back. My preference would be 1/16 and 1/24 but I wouldn't rule out 1/32 if it's well done.

Nice Buick, congrats !

At NNL North last year I picked up a 1:16 1909 Buick.

I've been checking out vintage car kits in 1/32, kind of pricey but oldmodelkits.com has several. It started because I was looking for a Jag XK 120 like I built when I was 11 yo but then I ran into a bunch of brass era antiques which I happen to like. 1/32 though, beyond a table top version not so sure about these old eyes.

I do really like 1/16, nice to find that 1909 Buick in 1/16 I bet !
