1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II by Minicraft Models: WIP
David G. replied to David G.'s topic in WIP: Model Cars
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.

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. -

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. -
Clean and tight, looks great! David G.

1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II by Minicraft Models: WIP
David G. replied to David G.'s topic in WIP: Model Cars
Thank you Noel. I'm sure that something like that is possible but not likely to happen in my world. This one was quite enough work on its own, thanks. I certainly did give it a little bit of thought though. Also, I don't think that there are many of these kits left in the world and they've been out of production for quite some time now. Thanks again, David G. -
Beautiful color, nicely built and detailed. Well done! David G.

Nice build and detail work. It looks like it should have a white US Army star on the door. David G.

Hello Everybody! A little more doin's have been done on the Rolls. One of the reasons I dechromed the chrome was be able to correct issues like these sink marks on the top of the radiator. I managed to get the dents on the top of the radiator tank smoothed out and some "chromie" paint applied. Unfortunately, the amount of paint I had to apply to get the finish I wanted filled in the badge detail completely obliterating it. In the ol' purple pond it goes. Meanwhile, the bumpers are coming along quite nicely. Well, satisfactorily anyway. There was, as one might imagine a lot of work to get them to this stage. The overriders on one of the bumpers had some serious sink marks that needed to be filled. Both of them were not well cast and as a result of that, had some issues that needed to be addressed. The good news is that I was able to get enough of the issues smoothed out to get a fairly good base for the chrome paint. Not perfect but certainly better than what I started with. That's all for this round. It's starting to feel like I'm in the home stretch on this one; now that the serious body repairs are essentially done. As always, thanks. David G. -
Cool project! Excellent work so far. David G.

"Early Patina" I would call it. Nice build and a good save. David G.

It's coming along quite nicely François. David G.

My first WIP here; '70 Dodge Challenger T/A, Parts

Bummer about the hood... But hey, victory with the wipers! Right? David G. -
That's coming along quite nicely, very detail-rich. David G.

Those wheels would fit the build theme, do you plan to strip and re-chrome them? David G.

Hello Everybody! I've started the finish work on the Superbird. while I'm working up the courage to apply the BMF, there are some decals I can place. AMT's version of the kit didn't come with the licensed Roadrunner cartoon decals. I just couldn't bring myself to build this kit, this Plymouth Roadrunner, without the iconic Roadrunner cartoon character decals. Fortunately I found just what I needed at Slot Car Fever by Cheyna on Etsy. I also received a supplemental kit from @Superbird McMonte that contains some of the smaller detail decals not supplied in the other set. The Slot Car Fever by Cheyna decals are a two part application, there is a white base and a colored overlay. I've added the white base and I'm allowing it to firmly establish itself while I work on other projects. Meanwhile as a bonus, here is a test fit mockup. The nose sits a little high on the chassis. The interior seems to be lifting it just a bit but I can easily push it down into the proper position and some glue should hold it there. As always, thanks for taking the time to look, and please feel free to comment. David G.
