davecov Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Collectors of rare kits should look away as I unveil another "build and weep" kit. My take on the Airfix 1/32 Renault Dauphine (M3C) A simple little kit which tested me at times. Not my finest ever build but I got there in the end. Unfortunately, it had the final word as the rear seat came loose during the photo session. I could lever the unglued chassis and refit the seats but that may just open a can of worms so it will stay as it is! Dave 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecov Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hi John, Are you using Google Chrome? If so, that will be the reason why you can't see my pictures. Unfortunately, in the past few days Google Chrome decided that my domain http://www.davecov.net is unsafe and won't show my pictures. They do show up in all other browsers though. The only way I can get round this problem is to either pay an annual fee for an SSL certificate (over £40 quid) or advise members to not use Google Chrome.

Bengalensis Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 A Dauphine is always lovely to see, a favourite car of mine! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Looks like a very nice build which belies both the age of the kit and the small scale. As for making collectors weep, let them. It's not like kits were made to sit forever on a sprue until the box accidentally gets chucked in the bin when the owner dies - they were made to be built, whether to a high quality like this one or lost in a giant ball of glue as a young kid tried to make their first kit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I agree with Spiny. Models are to be built and displayed, not preserved in aspic... Collectors like this aren't real model makers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hi Dave, I can recommend Let's Encrypt which is a free provider of SSL certificates. https://letsencrypt.org/ Some hosting companies (luckily, mine too) provide services to automate the proceedings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Dave, you made a better job of it that Renault did. They were a right pile of poo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
