Revell 1934 1/16 rolls royce

[Guest]

Got it!! I PM'ed John and he found it under its correct address, which is:

http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/revell-1-16-rolls-royce-phantom-ii-continental-1934.26589/

He said that he never deletes messages to save space.


Some time ago I found a way to save web pages to the computer as stand-alone files on your computer, independent of the Internet. Using Firefox, with the page open, do File > Save As, and choose "All Files". Then choose somewhere on your computer to save it in the usual way. Note that if you then open this new saved file and click on another of its pages, (a different "part" to use the tech name) you will be taken to John's server to open it. It will not have been saved on your computer. To make sure that you can save all parts of the posting to your computer, you need to save each part separately as described here. The file name will automatically have "Part 2/3/4..." inserted to distinguish it from the first part.

Sound's to complex for me I will just refer to this post and access that link.

Well it arrived today and I have to say it is exactly as described, the only parts glued together are the engine halves, bargain

Sorry Steve not much time these days and so many kits already started, I will start it some time soooooonish, it won't look much like yours though, it will have a modern paint job using candy paints.

[Guest]

Hi all well thought I would make a start on ruining another kit and as expected I'm off to a good start, I said I was going to do all the chrome on this in gold leaf, I stupidly thought hey let's try guilding over the chrome may get a shinier gold effect, BIG mistake, the gold leaf won't stick to the chrome (or more accurately the size wont) took the chrome off but the gold leaf still won't stick, so I've primed it now, hopefully that will sort the problem.

[Guest]

Hi all well the gold leaf sticks now but I couldn't get a good shine on it (its too soft as soon as you try to buff it (however gentle you are)it rubs off) so I've had to settle for imitation gold leaf (it's a bit tougher) I think it looks much better.


This is the main colour I'm doing it (not even sure if I will be adding another colour yet) I think the gold looks good with it,  opinions please?

[Gwyn]

Not a colour I would have immediately thought of but I think it will work well with the gold.

Hi all well i was looking at a poacher build of this car and (although it's a 1/8 kit do twice the size of this) I thought I could add more detail to the engine so I've removed a bit moulded to the engine (not sure what the part is) but I've seen it in a lot more detail on the poacher kit and I think it is a fairly easy bit to improve (I'm not saying this will end up like a poacher kit but I am going to try and add what detail I can) 











Ps admin sorry I've realised this is in the wrong place, any chance of moving it or should I start a new thread in the appropriate place.

Hi all I made a mistake and started this in civilian vehicle chat so am continuing it here now.


revell put the location tab for this part but for some reason didn't make the part. 

I've fabricated it also the other bits which are attached to the sump (don't know what any of the parts are) but they help fill empty spaces, they are not exactly right the black box thingy with 2 nuts on the top should have 3 but I've not got any small enough, but I figure it's better than having nothing there.

[Guest]

Hi all, well I've added a carpet also I noticed the rails that run under the chassis is missing so I've added that.

[Guest]

Hi all tried to edit this post to add pic of the chassis but won't let me save the edit so posting it here.

[Guest]

Hi all here is the next update, progress may slow down a bit as I'm waiting for some alclad gold (hoping I looks shinier than the gold leaf)

[Guest]

Hi all here's another update.
