jawkers Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hey. This is my last model stuck in 2017. The model is a Tamiya product. I made a few changes, how I moved the steering wheel to the left, I made some more elenents and changed a few things in the silik chamber. Model painted with Mr.Color GX inks. Nice watch. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nice job. Is this based on a real car? It looks to have mods commonly seen like the MG Metro rocker cover, etc. Engine bay work is really good. Atb, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawkers Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hello. The model's appearance is my imagination. Somewhere in the pictures I saw and decided to do so on the model. I have read that in the 1275S engines in the initial production of the valve cover, it was black with silver ribbing. I did it, too. I took part in the competition with the model and my work was entitled "Autumnal Rally of Vintage Vehicles 2017" I modeled the model on photos of several Mini from the years 1963. Thanks and I'm glad that you like the model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Nice Min!! To me the paint has exactly the right shine for the age of car! The rocker cover is the same on ours (1293cc bored out 1275GT engine) Good job! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawkers Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Somewhere on the web I saw a photo of the Mini, which was old and the paint was polished and looked like new. I thought I could build a model after a genuinely refurbished and refurbished paint coat that is in gloss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
