I must admit that the LookSmart Bugattis and especially the type 57 are very well builted and half priced!!!
I have all Heco and LookSmart 57s and I know very well what I am saying.

What impressive Bugattis and collections so beautifully photographed and displayed.
I have a few Hecos with funny lines on the plinths, now I know what the completed picture looks like. Thank you all for posting.
Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve

Here are a couple of my Bugattis including the Master himself.
I believe this is the 1st post on this site of any of my models although I have posted some Amelia Island and Pebble Beach Concours pictures in the past.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Ettore Bugtti in front of his famous garage surveying two of his finest works of art. The T35 is my build.
Arguably Ettore's greatest creation, the T35
and the other side
Himself
Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve

Just read this topic about legendary marque. What fine models!
Let me show my small home museum too. Sorry for a few die-casts. I hope to change them step by step.

I love your display, Vladimir!
How about this one of mine (with huge thanks to Ioannis!!! & Garage43)
I also have a rare EB Club 1922 Type 29/30 "Cigar", which I must get photographed...
I bought a LookSmart Hermes edition Veyron the other day (first time I have bought a LookSmart model in a long while - and I must say their quality has improved!). I have been hoping for several years that someone would produce a Hermes Veyron, or even better, for MR Collection to produce their promised Veyron open/close kit. But, LookSmart popped this one out, so I grabbed it instead of waiting any longer. The model itself is very nicely finished, but sadly, inaccurately detailed - quite a disappointment where that is concerned, actually. The white leather base is a little unfortunate, too...

Thank you for compliment, Jono.
Your record Bugatti looks great!. This was an ABC kit I suppose? Very unusual colors for racing Bugatti. On the other side - why not, bearing in mind that the real car was never built.

Yes, an ABC kit - and the colours are fantasy, but they were chosen especially for me :o)

I bought the model from Michel Sordet (Ma Collection) in the mid nineties...
So you've to see it with the eyes we saw models at thet time...
It's a very good reproduction, but nowadays it could be better..
Cheers

Thank you so much. Yes, you are right, I think in the same direction. And this is why I have some doubts re this model... But where to find the better one?

Vladimir,
Your display looks like an exclusive Bugatti concours. Very nicely done. Are those little pictures of the actual cars on the walls?
Cheers and Happy Collecting,

Here are some Bugattis that I did not notice having been pictured and that you might find interesting.
1911 Bugatti Type 13, the first real Bugatti car.
Not a horse shoe radiator yet
The 1912 Bugatti T14, Double Four engine
The few existing photos show that the car was created by mounting two four-cylinder engines in tandem (Brescia prototypes)
1926 Bugatti T30, Chassis #4724 by Carrosserie Lavocet & Marsaud
1925 Bugatti Type 39 raced at Montlhery in 1925.
And here are how some of these models are displayed
Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve
