History Does Anyone Know Anything About This Hirohata Sculpture ??

Can't find a thing about the artist David Wylde
It is titled "HIROHATA"
It is 5/50 cast and done in 1994
Car measures approx 7.5" long and 3"wide
Have never seen another one
Any and All info would be much appreciated

 

How about some more info. How did you come by it?

 

Maybe artist and sculptor, David Wilder?

 

To be honest, I can't remember, might have bought it on Ebay or Even HERE on the HAMB

 

there were 100 made and sold by the NHRA Museum.

The last name is spelled WYLDE in two places on the piece and I looked up David Wilder, his work is way different....thanks

 

THANKS...but that is a different one...

 

Man!!! I have never seen either one but both a collectors item for sure.

 

It might have been this guy. He mentions woodworking.

What material is it made with. Looks great. Great styling.

 

It is VERY Heavy, could be a cast resin of some sorts, trying to find out more about it, might have found the artist due to another post here......it is pretty cool....

 

Wanted to thank you again, found out, it was actually this guys father who did the sculpture....got
a very nice email from him......

 

That is cool.

 

Glad I could help.
