mr moto Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hi everybody, The plan for this one was to turn a Rolls into something of a sled without losing any of the "dignified" look that is the RR signature. It's based on the Minicraft re-issue of the old Hubley promo tooling from the early sixties. Kept it simple. Other than the chop, the skirts, the stance and the flames, pretty much everything else is standard Rolls and just like it came out of the box. The paint is Duplicolor with Testors Wet Look clear. Hope you enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I've looked at one of these kits at a swap meet, was tempted, but have too many other ideas. This came out nice, even with ghost flames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koellefornia Kid Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 NICE! Just thee way a Rolls should look like! The Silver Ghost was always my favourite RR and I really like to see it chopped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hi Manuel" Great idea, superb execution, bravo! Every time I see the Queen on TV, she seems to be ever shorter... So, I guess the top chop won't be a nuisance... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Thank you, everybody! It seemed like a natural thing to do. The Rolls reminded me of a '51 Mercury with a funny grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Pretty sweet 👍👍👍 I started one myself decades ago. Cut the roof off and added the custom quad headlights from an old AMT '57 Ford kit but that's as far as I got. Love your colors and the skirts.

Oldcarfan27 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 From this angle, the hood ornament looks higher than the roofline. Or maybe it's flying away. Gotta say, I never thought of a Rolls Royce as custom material. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
