[Tumbler75]

Wow! Can't wait to see that come into view. The hood looks great! I love old car and especially love MG's and Minis. I had a 1978 MGB Roadster that was Union Jack Blue. I miss that li'l car. It's Replacement a 1974 MGB GT jus' wasn't as much fun. LoL

Sorry you couldn't find a way to the Mpls. NNL North. These things on the primer table would have been a great conversation piece. As good as it looks in paint, too bad it hides some of your hard work.

[kennb]

When is it...or is it over already...I would like to go

[Jeremy Jon]

Looking good, will be nice to see all completed!

[kennb]

Today I started the preliminary masters for a new project that will be worked in the future,,,,,,,his is the first master of one of the wheels,,,,,,,,,and rims.

Thank you Skip....they are a great addition to my files,,,,,very nice crisp photos indeed

[kennb]

For those wondering,,,,,I have a pile of things in the paint shop so in waiting for them I diverged again into new territory....the previous projects will get done but paint drying has it own schedual.....so I will post a little of what I have been working on this week...Mind you this is about 1/14th scale,,,,,,roughly.......The first picture has a ruller so you can get an idea of the size.....

For those following on the large scale site....It is a double post...

Thanks to all my followers and those tagging along for the ride,,,bumpy as it is..........

comments are always welcome

Really cool

[kennb]

As you know I have again wandered off the subject and immersed myself in yet another K3.... a quick up date.(this is 1/14th scale)

I have been working on the engine and front end architecture. The engine is slowly coming together along with the sheet metal and louvered hood. Obviously all the louvers are hand cut and lack sophistication of the real thing but they give the correct appearance for this model.




The hoods for these are always a challenge to get them right in plastic and I need a little filler to clean it up along with some fitting. This will be done as the sides of the hood are placed.

comparison between the 2 scales of K3's I will be posting more on the Bentley this week,,,,,final paint on the body.

additional work on the body everything is either pinned or snap fit.

[kennb]

Finally got some time and inspiration to get back to the Bently and get some colour on it......still have a long ways to go but getting there,,,,,,,,,,,The body, hood, and fenders are final colour,,,,still have the doors to sand and recoat,,,and the chassis,..more coming.

There should be a smiley face with no mouth outline...BECAUSE I AM SPEECHLESS!!!

[blunc]

I was wondering if you were going to get back to this...since you have so many other masterpieces in the creation process.

[Dr. Cranky]

This thread is an eye candy factory. I am just amazed at all the painstaking steps you've performed thus far.

[peekay]

Amazing work. Bucket-loads of creativity on every page - and no small ammount of determination either.

[crazyrichard]
