Willem Bor was what I would call a master model builder with a great love for Route66. He combined those two passions and made stunningly beautiful models of famous buildings along the route. He did this so well that a number of his models can be found in the USA. Just before he died a crowd funding action was started to raise enough money to send a large batch of his models to the US. However, DHL offered to send them all, free of charge, to the US so that will be happening during the next few weeks. Below is a table of all his models, the builddate, and the current owner. Underneath that are a few pictures. Pictures of all the models can be found in the photo archive. |
Willem Bor was wat ik noem een meester modellenbouwer met een liefde voor Route66. Die twee dingen combineerde hij en hij maakte absoluut prachtige modellen van bekende gebouwen langs de route. Dat deed hij zo succesvol dat er een heel aantal modellen van hem in Amerika tentoongesteld staan. Vlak voor zijn overlijden hebben we een crowd funding actie gestart om een heel aantal van zijn modellen naar de US te kunnen sturen. Tijdens die actie bood DHL aan om de modellen gratis naar de US te verschepen. Hieronder staat een tabel met alle modellen die hij gemaakt heeft, de bouwdatum en de eigenaar.Daaronder staan een aantal foto's van enkele modellen. In het foto archief staan er nog veel meer. |
