New Zealander Sandy Sanderson - experienced motobiker. And he was convinced from his own experience that there would be no happiness, but misfortune helped. So, one day he had an accident on one of the motorcycle races, and in order not to get bored, lying in the hospital, he became interested in modeling … from aluminum cans of beer, cola and other drinks. Moreover, this hobby fascinated him so much that today Sandy Sanderson is a very respected and popular author. mini-models of "can" cars exceptional complexity. How he came to modeling from cans, Sandy told in an interview. Say, while drinking a can of cola, he watched some kind of educational program, where they showed a model of an airplane made from a tin can. And then he thought that airplanes were of little interest to him, but cars … And so the history of this collection of little cars began.
Of course, it didn't work out as well as expected at first. The first car, a little awkward but still beautiful, was called the Coriba Climax and was made from a can of Guinness beer. All other models are distinguished by the most detailed detailing, and so detailed that if you attach a motor to this car and put a tiny driver behind the wheel, he will really start off.
The lion's share of work on the models at Sanderson is occupied by drawing up drawings, measuring and selecting cans and "dismembering" them into their component parts. The bottoms usually serve as wheels, and the "body" is used to form the body and other elements of the car. Many of the ready-made models, by the way, can be purchased. Prices range from $ 472 - $ 1,537.
