Id: mini 346
Make: HR Models
Scale: 1:37

The producer of these interesting wooden HR models is a pensioner living in Belgium.

He told me that he has been car designer in earlier times and he usually worked with plaster.

Now he produces his miniatures using a lot of parts of different wood sorts and colours and he glues them all together. For wood miniatures they are very exact with a lot of accessories, even the interiors are designed.

I saw his miniatures on belgian toy fairs some years ago. He offered all his different cars in three different gauges, 1:37, 1:20 and 1:10 ( 117 mm, 215 mm and 420 mm ).

The buyer was able to order each car brand and type. Mister Hermans has all the factory drawings of hundreds of cars with all the gauges and distances to get the right proportions.

Each miniature is marked with his name Hermans and the date of production with silver letters under the black painted bottom plate.
