Taxi Models

[VegaTaxi]

I found in the net some kind of a THUMB of a Amsterdam Watertaxi.
With some efford I reconstructed it totally.

I plan to do some more work on that model, sind there are no others around somewhere. And this original one is gone, too.

In a few days, you can get the model from my website:

Long time ago I found in the net a very old FRENCH paper model sheet (maybe around 1930) of this old Taxi. It's a Bayard-Clement from around 1905.
To get a bit better model, you have to print at least 2 sheets to build an interior.
And two headlights I got from another car-model!

Since the model is log gone in the net, you can get it on my website.

And here are a couple of small cars in the scale of 1:50. All of them are SCHREIBER-Models an still for small money available. Two models are for about 4 Euros.

First a Benz Velo from 1896:


An unspecified Type called 'Comfort mortor Coatch' from about 1913:


For all our collectors of Alfa-Romeo Cars: This is an Alfa Lamda from 1925:


And those two models were used as taxis, too.
A Daimler-Mercedes Kettenwagen-Coupe from 1903:


And an Adler Limousine from 1906:


If You want to build those cars and can't find the adress, I'll tell you where to get them.

Together with the 'Velo' come a Hanomag 'Komisbrot' and an Opel 'Laubfrosch', but I din't build them by now.

Here comes the real one!

It's a Peugeot 201 from 1932.

I found in the net a model with no author signs. It was not a taxi but a convertible. Since I loved that model, I changed and reconstructed it into a taxi of that time, even with some fitting newspapers and a 'Guide de Michelin' from 1932 on the backseat.

The scale is about 1:15. Quite a big model.

I will change the model sheets after construction and publish it on my website Startseite ---> Papiermodelle

To build that model, there must be a lot of improvising, printed partly on glossy paper and others on normal cartonage.

And cover the roof, you need just some normal soft black paper to wrap it into it.

If you want to build that model, please give me a mail and I send it to you, all free of cause. [email protected]

And I give my thanks to the unknown constructor of the original model.
But I suspect, it could be a former comercial for Michelin tires.

This model is already built all over the world.
Even in Mongolia or in the IRAN!
It was ordered about 30 times by now.
I'm happy to give some joy for the modelers worldwide.

It's a great model of a beautiful machine.

Hello everybody!
I really like building Star Trek, Star Wars and car models, especially old cars from the 20s, 60s and 70s.
