Ichiyama's Bugatti T35B

This model was downloaded from Ichiyama's excellent website Home of ?????? where he also offers many beautiful model patterns for free download.
I started work on this little race car about four years ago, and promised to give it to a very dear friend, but had to stop several times because I had come to the limits of my abilities and had to learn more before I could continue. Finally presented it to her this Christmas, a little late, but very welcome. I really like those nerdy ladies.

A Happy New Year To Everybody here!

That really came out nice. I've always wanted to build one of those. Someone is very lucky to have it. A terrific gift.

Hello Thomas,
it's a job well done!
I have also done one of these but you did better than me!
Congratulations, Happy New Year.

Orazio.

After seeing Milan Paulus' Ferrari, I had to look around the "civilian wheels" forum.
There are a lot of nice cars here. I like your Bugatti!
He really produced some great designs in his day.
Happy New Year,
Mike

Don, Ruben, Tex, 65cyclone, Peter, Michael, Whulsey; Thank you for the kind words, which are especially sweet coming from such fine craftsmen as yourselves.

Orazio, It was the impeccable beauty of your own build of the same Bugatti which inspired me to begin the project, and also which caused me to take three years of attempting without success to imitate your exquisite work. Thank you.
Thomas
