Mo You could decant the Halfords rattle can and use it in the airbrush Phil

I am game Wally is under the blue car which is on the green car ,middle of pic towards the bottom phil

watching this one with interest Roy Only one question too ask at the present time is "Will the engine start when finished"? Phil

Hi Mencie Just come across this WIP , like what you have done so far I have been building this since January when work does not get in the way , so some question did you strip the chrome off the wheels and repaint. My wheels have ejector pin marks in them and need attention also not sure what chrome paint too use ,was thinking alclad polished ali swing arm for rear wheel has seams that need attention and repaint I have built up the front light fairing but found that needed alot of sanding to get rid of the joint phil

OOPS My bad Sorry for the wrong info I know what I will be doing today Digging out the DVD's and watching them again Phil

Nice build and a good choice of colours.Even better when seen in the flesh Hope it has restored you MOJO to continue with the Rolls Phil

Hi Rick Have you thought about using a rattle can for the Mica Red, Tamiya have some great colours in their range or pop down to your local Halfords ( if in the UK) and find one in the car paints,Lots of choices there Phil

Hi Good topic Codger I still have a part built 1/24 Lotus 7 which having seen this I must dig it out and get it finished If my memory serves me correctly didn't Tamiya bring out 3 versions of Lotus 7 in 1/12 scale . I would love too have an 1:12 for the stash and a 1:1 in the drive way It was ' DANGER MAN' series that used the Lotus 7 . THE PRISONER series was a Minimoke but you knew that and I am just knitpicking nice pics though Phil

Waiting for this too begin. I went for option 1 thought the red in the flames added to the white Phil

Seen this a few times myself Phil

Ok this sounds interesting look forward too reading the write up and seeing the pictures Phil

apologies the c/f decals are for another kit but came with the same order The detail up set has 4 bags which contain the parts for the chain,springs for the exhaust,parts for the front wheel disc and top of the suspension posts, rivets and a resin base for the r/wheel chain sprocket 7 Sheets of p/e for building up the chain,disc brakes,radiator ,fuel cap, parts for the engine and frame ,washers etc Hope that gives you an idea Phil

you could always go for all 3 of them, although what is WSBK (excuse my ignorance)Bikes are not my thing but I did like the styling of this one as this would be my first bike build I am not too familiar with PE for this type,but there are a lot of small parts ie the bike chain also 2 sizes of rivets that I am sure I will need a microscope ,that is if I have the nerve too try them I am hoping Dave's build will encourage me and with ideas to build them soon Phil

Hi Roy I also enjoy reading the blurb and the mods you are adding to this beast "A picture may say a thousand words" but it is not telling the whole story I now have this kit in the stash just waiting for me too pluck up the courage and give it my best shot,although it will never be to your standards Phil

Hi Dave I like what you have done with the engine, are you using the Tamiya colour call out on the assembly plan and Tamiya paints Shall be keeping a close eye on this built Have 2 of these in the stash, planning on doing the Senna bike. Decals and paint should arrive tomorrow.The other one in the Ducati red. Also in the stash I have the front forks (another set on order) ,the Hobby Design detail up set already have the Ducati red paint Phil

Hi Codger Hope you are back on your feet very soon too continue this epic journey. I always look forward too reading the next update . Phil

Hi For all you bike builders out there just don't look at the cost it might make its way over here though http://suzuki.model-space.com/us/?utm_source=Fine%20Scale&utm_medium=PNA&utm_campaign=Suzuki Phil

Hi Shaun Now the Camel has been finished(very nice job by the way) Does that mean this has come too the top of the pile Phil

Hi Codger I have been watching this for a little while just love what you are doing too this beast Just a thought I would leave that engine out of the car and built a half open crate around it too look as if the mechanic is about ship it back too Mr Rolls for refurbishment Phil

Or hot as the case maybe Phil

Hi Shaun Just bought this kit 2 weeks ago with the Hobby Design detail set and the Studio27 carbon decals This was on show at Goodwood Festival of Speed last month also took part in the timed hill climb Also have the Fujimi kit in the Gulf colour scheme Looking forward too reading your WIP on this one Phil

Hi Roy Too late for this amazing build but something for a possible future build http://shop.autographmodel.com/Autograph-1-8-Engine-kit-JAGUAR-C-Type-Le-Mans-1951 have a look at the pdf manual Phil

Hi Roy When screwing the parts together have you found the need too tap the holes first or are they ok as is, without splitting the plastic locating hole Phil

Hi Roy I have been following this thread and its good too see another car in the garage taking shape Found this on the web not sure if you have seen it http://www.lambocars.com/configurator/lamboconfigurator_rfppbjadn06bbhaccfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa6aaaaaaa.html Just an idea Phil
