sjordan2 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) That is jaw-dropping work, and far exceeds what that kit can be if done in stock form. I noticed that the Flying Lady mascot seems much closer to scale than the kit version -- how did you accomplish that?But I'm confused...that's not the Lennon car I've seen since it's all Magical Mystery Tour, and the Lennon car was mostly psychedelic graphics on a stretched limo body with Series 3 dual headlights. Is this your invention? If so, it's totally brilliant. Edited October 20, 2015 by sjordan2
Dave Ambrose Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I can't believe that you hand painted all that! Man, I am impressed! Fantastic job! You should do Janis Joplin's Porsche now... What he said!
Plastheniker Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Ingenious idea and really artistic execution!The Beatles a n d Rammstein ... amazing
Dann Tier Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 I appreciate it, guys! This was my own idea, if the Monkees could have a Monkeemobile, why cant there be a Beatlemobile?! the hood ornament was kit bashed. Wish I could remember from what. sorry.

Ron Hamilton Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 A fantastic tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time.
Harry P. Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 In fact, this is so amazing that when I saw it, I asked Dann if I could do a feature of this model in the magazine... and he said yes. So be prepared to go on a little "magical mystery tour" of this model's graphics in an upcoming issue and get to check out all of those cool details up close.
Zarana-X Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Fantastic work on the hand painted graphics.

The Lennon car was a Rolls Royce Phantom V limousine painted in a traditional Romany gypsy style rather than Psychedelic. We should not describe this vehicle as a 'Stretched Limo' as would be a Hummer or something dragging Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton around on their latest ego trip. Rather a Limousine as befits the cars credentials and quality. Oh, and it is always Rolls Royce, never a Roller(you could be dismissed for referring the car to this as a showroom employee) and the designation is always a Phantom V and not a 5. As they say, Quality, never goes out of style. So ends this sermon A great model and love the paint.
Danno Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 This is me. Speechless. Dittos to everything Harryp said! Purely stunning.
Phildaupho Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 WOW groovy man!! I dig it more than the real thing that is in a museum here in British Columbia.

So be prepared to go on a little "magical mystery tour" of this model's graphics in an upcoming issue and get to check out all of those cool details up close. Maybe a double feature with Fabrizio's hand-painted Janis Joplin Porsche 356? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/90271-janis-joplins-porsche-356c-and-janis/?page=1
HotRodaSaurus Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 WOW groovy man!! I dig it more than the real thing that is in a museum here in British Columbia.So it has surfaced again? I read this car was stashed away in a private collection. The Cloud is one of my favourite Rolls Royce's It looks so majestic transporting whoever is riding in it.
Bugatti Fan Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 Fantastic. Wasn't the Silver Cloud kit originally issued by Hubley back in the 60's? 1
