Wow, this one has been quite the challenge, I admire your perseverance! There are two sayings that I have in my signature line: "Model builders, we're problem solvers who create our own problems to solve!" "Each kit I build is really only practice for the next one!" They've kept me going through some rough builds. David G.

It looks like you've nailed the colors on this. I lake the shifter solution you came up with. Is it just my perception or do those front seats look too narrow? David G.

I know what you mean! Sometimes I select my next project by how much BMF and chrome paint I'm in the mood to deal with. David G.

I'm impressed by all the detail work you've done with this build. Everything looks great! David G.

Good colors for the interior! David G.

Cool build so far! I really like the color. And the rollbar and clutter you've added. David G.

Nice work getting the distributor sorted, very clever. Great looking engine too. David G.

Hello Everybody! Here's the latest update for the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II. The dashboard on these cars is a burled walnut. I used a technique to simulate it that I developed when I made the service trays for the for the rear passenger area. There's a nasty casting error over the right glove box door, I did the best I could with it. I don't think it will be very visible after assembly. I think the gold body color looks good next to the wood finish. Here is the finished interior. For the sides of the tub, I made some wood trim pieces using some angled styrene strips painted using the same technique I applied to the dashboard and tray panels. I have to say, I'm quite pleased with the way the interior came out. The error on the right side of the dash is barely noticeable, even though I know it's there. That's all for this update. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to respond with comments, suggestions, tips or photos. David G.

It's all coming together well Bob. Just keep going and things will sort themselves out. And if they don't, it's a just hobby. (I remind myself of this regularly.) David G.

They look good. David G.

Exceedingly well done! It makes me think of a prehistoric Chevy SSR. David G.

A nice, solid looking build. Well done! David G.

Beautiful build, excellent woodgrain effects. Thanks for the resin-body tip too. David G.

Super cool build! Excellent color combination and a great narrative to go with it all. David G.

Beautiful color and paintwork! The whitewalls look great with it. David G.

It looks like you're off to a good start despite the paint hiccups. David G.

Absolutely gorgeous! David G.

No worries Noel. I actually did consider building the Beatles limo. Briefly. I am getting to the point where I'm ready to have finished with it though. I'm already starting the "transition" into the next build. Honestly, I was a bit surprised that given its long production run under different companies, I'd never encountered this kit before now. At least not that I recall. Thank you, I'm glad to know that my efforts with this build are paying off. I'll check out Revell's chrome paint, thanks for the tip. David G.

Good color combination, nice paint and foil. David G.

Great looking paint and foil! David G.

Excellent engineering of the brake system. Good call on the steering wheel, it looks much better. David G.

You're off to a great start on this one. Little details can make a big difference in the end. David G.

Good detail on the dash. David G.

Nicely done! Very cool subject. David G.

Somehow I missed the wrap-up on this one. But I'm glad I found it and I'm all caught up now. An impressive build to say the least. David G.
