Business idea: rusty car models
If we talk about the real cars, the presence of rust, scratches, holes, rotten, broken glass - it's the details that motorists usually do not want to see on their iron horses.
Who might like a pile of rusty scrap metal? But the model - is another matter. Surprisingly, the fact that a large number of people willing to pay huge sums of money for a tiny rusted avtomobilchik. For this reason, the creative passion of Martin gives him a good profit: the cost of one of its models up to 20-25 thousand euros!
In the world of collectors of scale models of vehicles to buy or self-assemble parts of a set of brand new, shiny chrome model - no problem, because the factories of thousands of stamped and shops crammed this product! Therefore Hёkeshoven Martin, who, by the way, the specialty graphic artist, has gone a different path.
All his models - miniature replicas of legendary cars such as the Porsche 356 Renntransporter, Mercedes 300SL, Lancia Astura 1937 Pininfarina, Bugatti 57 Stelvio, Jaguar XK 140 look as if stood somewhere in the woods or in the swamp of years, commercials, fifty. Rarities issued at the time limited series. For example, Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing, released in 1955; they were collected for all time not more than thirty pieces.
Detailing models by Martin evokes a sense of the reality of the car. Each model is going very meticulously and carefully - to detail is very serious.
It all started with the fact that his brother Martin in his time repairing cars. As a result, accumulated a lot of waste rusty, crumpled pieces, which took away the future modeller. One day it occurred to him that these old parts might get a good model. In his garage he carefully glued, are cut, welded and joined rusty metal, plastic and old broken plexiglass. As a result of all his efforts to the light appeared the models that the photographs could not be distinguished from the real car, stood in the wilds of the forest is old naturally.
Master makes a model with 70s only in single copies. In this he was helped welding, a variety of tools, and of course love for their work. The source material it collects in landfills. Often it's the details from the real car, slowly rotting in the rain and wind, which gives realistic models.
In the production of one model it takes about four months. Search customers do not have to - they line up around the world. But Martin Hёkeshoven not alter its approach to creativity and quality, so a year does no more than three copies of machines. Model sizes range from half a meter to a meter. In its 50 years, Martin is still "playing cars" and earn good money. Here also comes the idea that not always a hobby - it costs some fun. Sometimes it is quite the contrary!
