Boanerges was not one of my Mibike models, ...Hi Jo,<br />Boanerges was not one of my Mibike models, but was done by Richard Hutchins at a company called either S.A.M.S. or R&J Models in Withernsea, near Hull. I'm not sure why your model has Mibike on the base, unless the guy who bought all my Mibike masters later also bought Boanerges. I would think that the commemoration would be Lawrence's birth. He died riding Boanerges on his way to his house in Tremadoc, Wales.<br />I completely lost touch with the chap who bought Mibike from me. He lived in Southampton. Sorry to be of no further help. I also can't recall any of the models being done in bronze, unless it's a finish put on the white metal model.<br />Regards,<br />MartinOddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406048947308249483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367600670436634226.post-6593258077566334042013-11-04T16:31:59.380-08:002013-11-04T16:31:59.380-08:00Hi,

The base says "commemorative model 30 July 1989".<br /><br />I'd be really interested in whatever information you can supply me about this piece - for instance what is is commemorating?<br /><br />I have to say I was a bit disappointed in the other models that arrived, but this one is absolutely beautiful! To me it is worth what I paid for all of them.<br /><br />Thanks in advance<br />Jo (New Zealand)Jonoreply@blogger.com
