1936 Opel P4 and 1938 Opel Olympia in 1/32 scale (6w)

[Sven J]

Hi all,

as matching accessories for my next gauge 1 locomotive project, I built two small 1930s cars that I’d like to share with you.
With 6 studs width, they also match Speed Champions style.
Both models share the same basic design, resulting from the need to combine a 6w front section with a 5w passenger cabin. If you’re interested in details of this design, the .io files are available on Rebrickable.

So first, here’s the Opel P4 – one of Germany’s first affordable mass-market cars. It’s shown in its updated 1936 version:

With one of my modified Jack Stone figures:

And this is the 1938 Opel Olympia, slightly larger than the P4 and the company’s first car of unibody design:

Finally, two "family shots":

Hope you like them.
Comments and remarks are, as always, most welcome!

Best regards,
Sven

These are beautiful and well crafted models. The first one almost completely blends with the background as a black and white one, except for the obvious splash of brighter colours. Speaking of which, I appreciate the turn sign on the side. Good job on both of these!

Nice cars!

These cars are very beautiful! I especially like the Olympia. Sadly, it's hard to squeeze two minifigures into a 6-studs wide space, so I understand your decision of leaving room for the driver only

These cars are so narrow, it must have been difficult to sit there with two persons in the real thing, too...
