These little gems are each built to order by Pierre.  Here is a

little bit about the inspiration and idea behind this series. 

Many new cars were designed and built using full-sized,

three-dimensional mock-ups of the car. These mock ups

were usually made in wood and were commonly known as

'bucks'. These 'bucks' were used as patterns to make and

check the fit and form of the hand made body panels so the

fabricators could weld them in place on the chassis as a full

skin. They the real 1:1 ‘bucks’ have often been viewed as art

by numerous enthusiasts, and lend themselves beautifully to

being rendered in miniature.

Inspired by these mock-ups, Pierre has made a wonderful

new series of models called 'Bodybuck' Models. The masters

for each hand-made model were created buy Pierre.  Each

‘wood buck’ is made from specially cast resin which is then 

cleaned and hand painted by Pierre, in oils to resemble real

wood. These are incredibly realistic.  Everyone who sees

them in person as well as in photos believes they are solid

wood. Beautiful artistry and craftsmanship here.

Each miniature “bodybuck” is only available in a small series

and the range will focus on competition sports cars that were

built using the 'buck' technique. These are very limited run

pieces, and Pierre does not intend to make many of each.  

Available in choice of two choices finishes:

Light wood:  shown on the 250 GTO

Dark wood shown on all others.
