Original Parts Restored

Some of the original parts I am using on the new Supercar build. These parts were restored throughout the year while working on the frame and body.

Welcome!

Welcome to Micronut microcars / minicars!

Here you will read about my miniature car projects. This blog will focus mainly on my first miniature electric powered Roadster.

The Microcar I am building was inspired by an Amusement Park Car called the Supercar. Supercar Company of England built many types of models but this Supercar of the 1930's is one of its earliest gas powered type car that children as well as adults can drive.

Racing on a wooden oval track called the the Brooklands Speedway track (sometimes called a Rally Track), the driver had total control over the car such as steering, acceleration and stopping just like a real car. These cars were designed to race each other although at a moderately safe speed. Much more thrilling than a simple bumper car.

My re-creation will include some modern touches while keeping the overall look of the 30's car. I can possibly modify the body to suit my ideas such as adding fenders and a tail fin like that of the Scootacar. I never know exactly what I will do. Possibly make removable parts so the car can be a 2 in 1 model? Do you have a similar project? Please share.

I hope this site can bring out the kid in all of us!

As an artist I can relate with the high's and low's of the creative process as it is very challenging and frustrating at times. When that happens to me, which is very often( we are our worst critc) I try to get inspired by other artist and feed off of their energy.

An idea comes from an inspiration triggered from experiences, people, places, other artist's and their work. That's how art is developed. You take it all in and then make it your own. In the art world , there are no rules!
