[GSX1100S]

Thanks Stray really peed off sprayed the tank, had it glued to piece of stick layed it on my table hanging over the end to dry came home dinner time and it had fell off the stick and onto the carpet, (insert swear words here)

hope a coat of varnish will hide it, what do you think.

[1/12 Scale: Custom "Day Cruiser" Boat: 12/30/14 on the bench]

Wow just read this from start to finish that is the most amazing piece of modeling I have ever seen.

Well I am gobsmacked went in to work today and I was expecting Rolf to offer about 50 quid for the Bentley well he must really like it because he asked how much I spent on it and I told him, with the figures and extras about 130 quid and he gave me,,, I can see it in my hand but still don't believe it 260 quid yes that's right 260 then asked was that enough

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

Well its out of the spares drawer and put together again. My missus told my boss it was finished and she told her husband so he insisted on seeing it, I told him I was not at all happy with it but he insisted so I fixed it up and showed him, he loved it as did my boss he wants to buy it, I don't know what to charge so have left it to him, he asked how much the kit was and said he will have a think and decide how much. That's fine by me as whatever he pays will go towards another kit.

Hi all I have decided to put this in the spares drawer as I can see lots of uses for the parts in other dios. Thanks for following along with the build and taking the time to look

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

It certainly is, another British icon I was hoping it would detract from the rubbish build, so it seems it had the desired effect, I was going to try a reflect a London bus or a taxi in the window too but I thought that would be to much.

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

Hi all, well finally I'm calling this finished.

I know it's a bit of a let down and a bit disappointing, but its not down to the kit, its down to my modeling, so there it is, I cant do any better so I should be happy with it but i'm not.

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

Hi all another update, not long left on this build.

The trouble with all the sprues being in one bag together is that when they knock against each other bits fall off the sprue and you end up with a box full of loose bits. I have discovered that one of the mud guard stays is missing so have had to make one, being a reverse of the one I have it was quite confusing to do but I have managed.

also don't like the mesh over the lights so put some real mesh on them

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

Ben I have to say no, I wish I had just used the kit wheels all that hard work and patience, I've seen the kit built with the kit wheels (admittedly he spent a while cleaning them up) but his wheels imho look better than mine.

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

Hi all I am sure you all must be getting bored of this by now, but I think I'm on the last leg now.

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

Hi all finished the wheels on the Bentley(Not a task I will ever undertake again)

did a bit more weathering on the engine too.

[my first post Moochies death]

1. It's 1/24 scale thanks for looking.

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

Hi all not much of an update (these wheels I wish I hadn't started, still I'm getting better with each one, By the time I've done the last one I will be pretty good at it).

Just to show I am still working on it.

[Airfix 4.5 litre Bentley]

Well I fixed it I filled my revell precision glue pot with super glue then I made a little hole in the air bubble and squeezed the superglue in the hole, then I gradually squeezed the excess glue and air out of the hole. I fixed the decals with a hair drier, I put it on maximum( I figured I had ruined the body anyway so nothing to loose) I heated the decals up then squeezed them flat with some tissue.

^{luckily he has not paid for it yet, I bought the model and when I showed it to him he said he would buy it when finished. Just makes me look stupid.}

Well thanks for following along I dont see my boss's husband buying this now, and I've gone and taken a commission from my boss now I feel guilty now she's paid for the models and I've bought them but I've obviously not got the skills to deliver, I must have been mad to agree. I've ruined the Bentley , I will finish it but it certainly won't be on display anywhere.

These next three pics show whats gone wrong(yes I know I could get a new body from Airfix and some decals) but to be honest I cant be asked I've lost all interest in it now, I will finish it but just to say its done and get it out the way.
