Hi John - morning, just. Nothing else to show yet - will post some more once I have done something

Thanks Fernando

[Lee Drennen]

Very convincing at first glance it looks so real great job!

The base is looking very good Simon

Simon,
I have to agree the slab looks very convincing.

[SimonT]

Lee, Ian, Paul, Scottie - thank you all

Not done any more on the base yet but have managed to progress the Rover

added some windscreen wiper motor bosses for the removed wipers

[ATTACH]321972[/ATTACH]
front seats got some piping added to the sides and blended in with filler - need a bit more tidying up

[ATTACH]321973[/ATTACH]
back seat was cut into two cushions - various sink marks filled and the edge of the back seat was boxed in

[ATTACH]321975[/ATTACH]
the kit seat mounts were chiselled off, a task I should have done before fixing the floor pan to the shell as it would have been much easier

floor was then given a coat of the VJ red oxide to impart a bit of crusty texture

handbrake lever, gearlever, hi/low lever and foot pedals all added to interior pretty much finishes off the vehicle construction

dio needs a few props so....

Hi Simon
All looking good. Maybe I should say all looking terrible! Trolley jack scratching. A new one even for you.

[Tim Marlow]

Looks like every BMC I ever owned....great work though....

Nice Simon

[SimonT]

Thanks everyone - not far to go before paint....

Jim - actually not a new thing. A good few years back I made a rally Mini in 1/43 from an expensive white metal kit and scratched a workshop to sit it in which included a trolley jack


Spent most of the day making the trolley jack

Hi Simon
Still burning the midnight oil I see. I don't remember you scratching a jack. Possibly before my time on the old forum.
The jack and grinder look excellent - mini models in their own right.

Beautiful floor jack Simon. I remember using one of these to park cars in an overcrowded garage I rented w/four other guys. 3 of us lost our cars when we couldn't make rent and got locked out. Easy come/easy go back in the 60s. PaulE
