Some fun pieces I made some years ago

[carl reid]

Hi Guys,

I know these pieces are not military based. But I thought you might like to see them!
I was looking through a box the other day and found these pieces.

I made these as part of a range I was working on some years ago called "Car Cature".
These two pieces was never released, I have no idea why.

As you can see they are caricature pieces dipicting famous Isle of Man TT motorcycles of a bygone era!

Anyway guys I hope you like them!

Thanks for looking!

Carl

Cheers Steve!

I like anything old, Old Motorbikes, Old Cars. They have character, not like todays generic looking machines.

We can shake hands on this. Unfortunally I cannot afford them.
So now and then I can make a ride in my brothers MG A as a passenger.

Fun stuff Carl! I have had a hankering to do some model stuff lately myself. These are really cool and no doubt a great creative "palette cleanser" as well......

They are a great source of escapism. Mind you when I was doing these it was part of range so the escape was military at the time...
I'm lucky really I've had some good oportunities over the years to work on some diverse products and subjects. But you're right you do need to cleanse the pallette from time to time.
The only problem you have when you're working on fun stuff, it's generally for corporate outfits, and that brings a whole new set of problems. The pressure is usually increased by a about a million percent. Accountants are calling the shots!

Very nice Carl.
I'd buy one, especially the one tipping into the corner.
Great bit of fun and would be to paint too.
Thanks for sharing.
Karl.
