PatW Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Yes Bruce. I've started the engine, but through my research noticed that the heavily chromed wheels should be authentically in a black gloss finish. So they are going in the tub tomorrow or Monday to have some chrome stripper poured over them! 28/09 Update. My hardware shop owner had run out of the oven cleaner that I had previously used to strip chrome and said that he had bottles of neat Ammonia, and that the oven cleaner had a high percentage of Ammonia in it. So he said 'try it out' which I have, yes it smells really strong so I put the chrome parts in a used ice cream tub and put it outside with a thin coating of Ammonia. It stripped it in less than a day, so I poured hot soapy water over it all and a cold water rinse and hey presto no chrome and no awful smell! I have started to paint the wires with a coat of acrylic matt black today! Edited September 28, 2020 by PatW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Missed this one somehow. Very nice looking model sir. I have considered the Splendid Hotel version, but was not sure of the quality, or if it had a motor etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
