    1886 Karl Benz first car

    Here's a model I made of the first car, an 1886 Karl Benz.
    The rear wheel spokes are 1/16" dowels. I had to drill sixty 1/16" holes in each rear wheel to fit the the dowels. After they were all drilled , the 1/16" dowels were too large so I had to redrill all of them again to 3 /32"😱

    Nice job! You totally nailed it I think, right down to the step!

    It's a really cool car.

    That's a neat one Dennis. I love seeing your models! I'd love to see a picture of all of them together!
