Momir Bojic, 70, retired from Bosnia and Herzegovina, spent two years transforming his 1975 Volkswagen Beetle into a mobile woodcarving art.
Now the entire body of the car is covered with more than fifty thousand hand-carved wooden scales. Almost every exterior detail of a fully functional car, from the wipers to the rearview mirrors and wheel rims, has been meticulously crafted from warm and noble light brown oak.
"What can I say? If a person loves cars, he can do whatever he wants, - says the proud owner of an extraordinary car. - People consider me an eccentric and ask how I can do this. But how can I not do this? If you really like something, you are capable of anything."
A devoted spouse helped the stubborn pensioner to make his dream come true: “My wife and I could have carved figures on the dashboard of a car in a few days, but time did not matter to me at all. I am a perfectionist, so I think that detail accuracy is much more important than worrying about time,”Momir told Metro newspaper.
Bozhik's car is a real work of art. No worse than conceptual artist Adel Abdessemed's "La Chine est proche" sculpture, which is a full-size model of a bicycle carved from camel bone.
