Sven J Posted July 28 Posted July 28 (edited) Hi all, Here's my latest car model, built in 1/32 scale to match gauge 1 railways, but also quite close to Speed Champions/Town style. The Hanomag 2/10 PS was a small German economy car produced from 1925 to 1928. Due to its shape, it quickly became nicknamed „Kommissbrot“ („Army Bread“). The rear, differential-less axle was chain-driven by a half-litre single-cylinder engine producing a whopping 10 hp, which allowed the tiny car to reach a breathtaking top speed of 60 km/h (37 mph). Though being an RHD vehicle (very uncommon for a German car), the Hanomag only had a door on the left side to increase body rigidity. Both convertible and fixed-roof versions were available. Sales numbers didn’t meet expectations, for “real” cars like the Opel Laubfrosch or the BMW Dixi didn’t cost much more, but were superior in nearly every regard, so the 2/10 PS was replaced by the more conventionally-designed Hanomag 3/16 PS after only 3 years in production. And here's how it looks: Instructions for the fixed-roof version and .io files for both variants are available for free here! Thanks for stopping by! Best regards, Sven Edited July 29 by Sven J Quote
Feuer Zug Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Interesting historical piece. Quite detailed for the size. Quote
Elysiumfountain Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Awesome job, so many cool little details! I love how you created the windscreen on the convertible. Quote
GeoBrick Posted July 30 Posted July 30 Nicely detailed and shape of the cars, especially the blue one with only the windscreen. I didn't know of that little grey piece you used just in front of the windscreen. Is it a piece of cut flexible tube? Quote

Sven J Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 Thank you @Shiva! Indeed, not even 2.8 m long. A shoe box on wheels... Quote
Sven J Posted August 6 Author Posted August 6 (edited) Hi all, Inspired by a tool box apparently mounted on some ADAC* Hanomags, my Post Office version now carries a little case so that the postman has a bit more storage space and doesn't have to put urgent telegrams (anyone remember what that is? ) onto the seat: Since the case should be able to be mounted and removed without any further modifications, it's simply hooked into the ventilation grille above the engine using the protruding straight end of a Minifig roller skate. It holds in place in absolute calm only, but that's sufficient for a display model... Best regards, Sven * German automobile club Edited August 6 by Sven J Quote
