Harry P. Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 This time a 1904 Wolseley... a cute little British car. No detailed WIP this time, but for an explanation of what I did, there's more info here. I'm pleased with the results. Despite the problems described in the other thread, it actually turned out looking pretty good! Comments, critiques, and criticisms welcome...

traditional Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Harry, I can't even begin to tell you how interesting I find these brass era models you're doing. Super intriguing cars, and beautifully finished models. Just keep-em-coming! Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Neat, good job on what I imagine was not a user friendly kit. I wish there were more cars of this era available in 1/24-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Can't see your trademark button-tuft seat with that top up. If you weren't in a hurry, you should have made the top operable. Actually. power operated........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Turned out great. Top looks very realistic. Was actual cars painted that color ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Turned out great. Top looks very realistic. Was actual cars painted that color ? Yes. I have a couple of reference photos that color (but with body-color fenders). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Can't see your trademark button-tuft seat with that top up. Yeah, it's pretty black in there. Hard to get the interior lit. How's this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Beautiful job as usual Harry. You whipped this one out in record time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelmartin Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Yes. I have a couple of reference photos that color (but with body-color fenders).Early cars were very often painted quite bright colors. It is hard to tell in period vintage black and white photos however!Another cool car, Harry! Edited March 24, 2014 by Modelmartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yeah, it's pretty black in there. Hard to get the interior lit. How's this? What - no dome light?? What wire thickness did you find for those top strap fasteners? Goes without saying another meticulous and thoughtful job-except for no power top or dome light...

Foxer Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 That's a good looking car for way back then ... the flat flow from front to back .. and that grill is awesome for the era! You did another beautiful build and that light blue paint really sets it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes without saying another meticulous and thoughtful job-except for no power top or dome light... The dome light bulb burned out... I used K&S brass rod #8159 (.020, .51mm) for the loops at the edge of the top and on the chassis. The buckles are made of tine bits of styrene rod, glued together and sprayed brass.
