Depois de uma relativa ausencia dos meus trabalhos, hoje venho fazer a apresentação do meu novo projeto, um Darracq de 1900.de origem Francesa, ele é um trabalho desafiante pelas caracteristicas que possui, mas ao mesmo tempo um trabalho aliciante, a escala será 1/7. Algumas características técnicas deste automóvel muito raro, mas muito interessante pela história que tem, foi um dos primeiros automóveis a circular em Portugal no ano de 1901. Motor a gasolina, 1 cilindro de 900 cm 3 e a potencia de 6 1/2 CV. caixa de 3 velocidades frente e 1 trás, pneus de borracha com camara de ar, raios de madeira e aros de madeira e ferro, e tinha como velocidade mãxima 50/60 Km. hora. Esta reliquia unica encontra-se em exposição no Museu Nacional dos Coches, em Lisboa, ao lado do Panhard & Levassor, o primeiro automovel que veio para Portugal em 1895. Algumas fotos deste , que será brevemente o meu trabalho , espero que gostem e apreciem.

Panhard & Levassor

Hello to all my friends, after a break in building my hobby, I took the opportunity to make some improvements to the Panhard & Levassor, replacing the engine, the radio control and the reverse gear, which I didn't have, the wheel turning angle was also improved. . Here I show some phases of this work and a short film where you can see these resources. I hope you enjoy seeing it.

WAGONETTE DE SANTA LUZIA

Finally, today the first step of this project was completed. Wagonette de Sta. Luzia was completed. Next comes the coupling of the two mules and their respective harnesses, some photos of this conclusion. As you saw in the original photo, it doesn't have side lights and it's also not possible to know if it has supports or not, that's why I didn't add them.

Some more progress in the construction of the Wagonette, as you can see it is going very well, as it is a relatively easy miniature to make, despite not having detailed plans, just the photo I published. A few more photos of the progress.

VAGONETTE DE SANTA LUZIA

Hello to all friends, I wish you all a good year ahead. Today I'm going to show you some more advances in my new project, the Wagonette de Sta. Luzia. As you know about this project, I don't have plans or measurements as usual, but only the photograph that I published previously, which makes this work much more challenging for me, but I like these challenges. Some more photos of the construction of the front axle and suspension springs, I have already started to align the box.

WAGONETTE DE SANTA LUZIA

Hello to all my friends I wish you all a happy New Year 2024. As I mentioned previously about this Wagonette project that I found by chance on the internet and which is part of my imagination, the entire scenario surrounding the Wagonette is very dear to me, very close by I was born and raised, so I couldn't remain indifferent to this construction. As always I like to start by building the wheels, here I will show you once again how I do this work. I hope you continue to follow this very challenging project as I only have this photo to build it. A good New Year to all of you.
