Old Hubley Rolls Royce resto

[realgone58]

Grabbed this one off the Bay, moulded in black, pretty much a glue bomb, but not to the point it could'nt be fixed. Sanded off mould lines, smoothed out some dimples, and sprayed in a classic champagne/brown two tone, with painted silver trim around windows and chrome foil on the side trim. I flipped the Dunlops inside out and they had a nice line moulded on to do wide whites. Did these with flat latex house paint, three or four coats and it comes out convincing. Wish I could have found a little cleaner glass for it though.

It turned out real nice. I love the collection in the background.

Very nice job on a low-detail kit that has a good body shape but not much else. Interesting how your wide whitewalls make the too-small tires look right.

That's a great looking build!! The old promo style kits can make a beautiful display model with just a little TLC.

Yes, the Rolls is a Silver Cloud II. The green GM is a '74 Cutlass promo. I'll pop a few pics of it on here. Thanks guys, for all the great comments.
