roymattblack Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Ken - that 2nd pic down looks as if you have gilded the rocker cover. Is that so? I did loads of gilding in the past and even gilded the throne canopy for the Sultan of Bruneii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 That is so Roy wish I'd known you had even more skills I would have picked your brains when I was building the La Reale and the Soliel Royal. You really are a man of many talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymattblack Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 ...the script on the upper black panels was a NIGHTMARE! Apparently, a 'squiggle' in the wrong place could have turned a prayer into an insult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi all next update the rad is fitted, have I said I love this kit the rad is a 1/24 kit on its own, I'm developing a plan for another one anyway here is today's work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi all here is today's update. I'm really happy the way the chrome has golded (is that a word) I think the gold works incredibly well with the purple I realise the purple needs a few more coats, then I need to start the marbling effect, have I mentioned I love this kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi all here is another update on the engine bay (there is soooooooooooo much detail in this kit, it's a superb model) The engine bay is still not finished (by a long way) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hi all well I'm scrapping the marble effect idea (the gold pigment in the paint was too thin and would have required two coats to even start to cover which doesn't work with the marbling effect) (it's a one coat thing) not sure what I will do now, I'm thinking hard now. I've put the humbrol tin there to give an idea of the size of this beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi all well I've attached the front wings (for anybody building this kit the wings and bonnet connections all need reinforcing) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hi all well here's the next bit, I got some leather for the seats (thanks to Roy Fitzsimmons) and I decided to add wooden window sills to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi all here is another update (the seats are just placed for now not actually fixed yet) in this kit the front seats are adjustable (just like the real thing) they slide forwards and back. This really is an amazing kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
