When you’re the unfortunate victim of an accident and your injuries leave you with nothing better to do, how do you make the most out of your idle time?
For Sandy Sanderson of New Zealand, it’s building model cars from aluminum cans. Needing something to keep himself busy after breaking his wrist in a motorcycle accident, Sanderson began creating cars out of tin cans and his works are nothing short of jaw-dropping.
Calling his creations ‘CanCars’, Sanderson began working on these models after a ‘Eureka!’ moment while staring at a canned soda he had been drinking. After remembering how somebody used to make model planes from tin cans, the draftsman/instrument-maker/model-builder decided to try his own luck in creating model cars from tin cans.
What’s even more impressive is that he’s doing all of this with a broken wrist. Check out the models Sanderson has already created and tell us just how cool those are.
