  12. Clearly , you have had a good year Pat..... the proof is in the photos. Your Revell auto transporter with five cars loaded certainly takes up some desk space. David
  13. This is my favourite body shape for the Porsche 911, and my favourite colour for the 911 was black..... but this BLUE is so nice.......... David
  14. Thanks Gary........ the four wooden pallets are 3D printed items, in addition to the pallet for the engine that I scratch built from balsa. David
  15. Dax...... I think this is a very brave thing to do...... because done badly, this idea could look silly, but done brilliantly ( as in your case ) the whole concept is absolutely convincing. Even in the red primer sort of colour this car looks marvellous, but now you are applying the '50's aqua paint colour and also the light cream colour the car is coming alive. You are clearly having a lot of fun with the detail. Good luck when you take this model to a show or competition Dax. David
  16. Here we have a few photos of ' A Visitor from France '...... there is a French gentleman, Alain Delon, who owns a Rolls-Royce motor car and he is staying in England for a few months while making a film. Later in 1964 Monsieur Delon appears in the film 'The Yellow Rolls-Royce', but this is the year 1958. This gentleman has asked Hooper & Co to arrange transportation of his 1948 Citroen 15.Six Traction Avant from France to England, because he is most impressed with Hooper's quality workmanship. Hooper & Co have enlisted the services of Maurice Watson & Sons general haulage to bring the French motor car to London. The car is in a poor state and requires extensive repairs during Monsieur Delon's stay in this country. While one of the sons travels in the cab of the 1953 Bedford with his father, the other son rides in the Citroen on the back of the lorry, to make sure the car is not stolen while the other two men sleep in the cab.

  17. Just a quick thank you to Richard 'Snake'....... That is one helluva list of Danbury Mint models and I shall peruse it with interest ! David
  18. Many thanks for the contact Doug..... and I will certainly follow up your advice. David
  19. Good advice Raymond thanks...... I shall have a look at the Phrozen DLP printer, and also the Photon before parting with my hard earned cash! Just like you started out, I learned how to use FreeCAD software which I found quite good actually, although I had nothing to compare it to, if I am honest. Then I uploaded my files to Shapeways and I was very pleased with their service and also the results. Even the cost surprised me, which was much less than I had expected. They are excellent people to deal with, because I was making a few mistakes with the early files and they not only corrected some of them for me, but also advised me how to correct others for myself. So far I have only designed one product and had the item printed by Shapeways, which is a 1:24 scale Rolls-Royce 6-cylinder engine. Recently I do keep thinking that I would really like to do my own 3D printing, providing the cost is not too scary. My dream would be to 3D print a 1:24 scale Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud body shell but of course I do realise that this is way too ambitious at this early stage! During the past couple of years I have successfully moulded and resin cast such a body shell, which was my first attempt at producing a two-part mould and I was happy with the result. I have seen body shells 3D printed by other members on these forums and I can appreciate how complex the process is. David
  20. There is a photo shoot taking place inside the ground floor showroom of Hooper & Co, which is for a feature that is to be published in the Sunday Times Magazine colour supplement......... this is naturally good publicity for the coach builders' portfolio and on this occasion the managing director is keeping well out of the frame, but of course he is maintaining a watchful eye from a discreet distance. David
  21. The following photographs represent my first attempt at using a wet surface for the street and pavements. Rather than go down the route of using artificial water, I opted to try real water which was brushed liberally onto the road surface. This is what I would call ' Sunshine after the Rain ' and Mr Rivers is looking out of the showroom window, while a gentleman is perusing a nice 1938 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Sedanca de Ville at his leisure. David
  22. Many thanks Mitchy..... that is a good effect for wood grain on styrene, and I feel confident to have a go myself! David
  23. Eric...... the closer you get to look at this diorama, the more detail you can see. Well deserved first prize, and as another member commented, to produce such a good diorama of a real place in Arizona USA from your home country of Holland is not an easy thing to do. David
  24. The test cell has definately turned out nicely. Would there have been some sort of mesh guard over the moving parts of the engine? We don't want test engineers going too close to those pulleys while wearing a tie...... or maybe only Rolls-Royce engineers would wear a tie? Could be a danger to fingers or long hair, or any item of clothing. David
