wardsmodelbuilder Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 Here are some photos of my latest commission build, its not a racing model so I hope I am not offending anyone on here, I just thought it might be well received. Its a 1962 Morris Mini in Fiesta yellow, with old english white wheels and grille, copied from my clients original car. The kit was not of the same spec so quite a lot of modifications were required, some of which were. Changing the kit double carb and airbox layout to a single Front grille and bumper changes Oval speedo was changed to a round one Pull cord door opening system added Seats were remoulded with putty and wire Wicker baskets were made for under the rear seats and rear side panels, which were included with the car when originally bought in 1962 Hope you all enjoy looking at this old classic British car, it was fun building it!!!

Chuck Most Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 Anybody who'd be offended by this masterful Mini is an idiot. I love it.
iamsuperdan Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 That is a beautiful build! I'm curious about the base you have it on. Was that made specifically for the this build? So many people use a wood base (which is fine) but this leather looking on really stands out.
Richard Bartrop Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 That is pretty neat. Thanks for sharing!
GlueTube Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Well done Sir! Great job on the paint and color matching. Regards Brian Kroon

I think it suits the era and look of the model very well.
