PierroTechio was talking about emotions. Tiny machined nuts and bolts and hoses and wires, even Japenese ones, are not the only kinds of modelling that produce emotions. Although the brass work on some of those models does get me all emotional- but I like the French guys too.
I also like models that tell a story or in some way exhibit "personality" and creativity.
For me, the Chrono43 1929 Bugatti First Monaco Winner as driven by William Grover- Williams diorama is an example. Chrono43 did an excellent likeness of Grover-Williams. And a beautiful layout and model. Grover-Williams a few years after winning the very first Monaco Grand Prix became a spy for the British to help the French Resistance, went behind the lines and got caught in 1943 and put in a camp- and was executed in 1945. The war only had just one or two months to go. Chrono43 caused me to have emotions. |

And I absolutely LOVE the bas relief F1 comical artist's work. Just fantastic! And Bouissou Brecia. Now, see! I'm all emotional now!
Thank you for sharing your pictures with us! |

Thanks for those picture, Nicolas, I enjoyed looking through those.
I agree with you about the comic art George, brilliant stuff - very inspired :o)
Please, can anyone tell me more about this?

I took a photo of that one too. And promptly the exhibitor informed that it is not allowed to make any photos...
I took his business card with me.
I will post more information and his contact details as soon as I am back home later today. |

Thanks for that - I have been trying to discover who the sculptor was since seeing his in some Retromobile pictures last year. And, now that I know who to look for, I have swamped myself with pictures of his work - absolutely wonderful stuff!!!
