Just wait till ypu'll fit the doors. I'm glad ypu liked my RR. It was fun tp build but painting it was a true trouble for me to achieve desored gloss. I'd recommend to use car paint instead of model paint\ said:This is going together very well. Negligible flash, parts fit perfectly, hardly any filling needed.
I noticed you comment on the doors when you posted your Roller 18 months ago. I have dry-fitted the rear curved panel and the engine bulkhead/dash unit, and the doors which of course keep falling down at this stage so I haven't yet tested the fit.\ said:Just wait till ypu'll fit the doors.

I plan to print (possibly on decal paper) Internet clips of walnut veneer (reduced in scale) for the dash and the wood top to the doors. Dead right about being slow and easy. I am an expert in that, especially when having to do chores about the house (which I do, being a "new man").\ said:Hi Steve,I think this is going to be one heck of a build. That is some clean building you are presenting us Sir.
The paint job so far on the motor an chassis are looking perfect and for the dash I to would go for a walnut decal.
take the build slow and easy to avoid mistakes but keep the pictures coming.

Thanks. Really useful. There are lots of samples there and one of a nice brown hardwood and being mirror images on all four sides they can tile a surface without showing joins.\ said:Hi Steve,I found this site a while back and I found it quite usefull for making your own decals.

The radiator of my Revell kit has a small wrinkle on one side. Because that part is so iconic for Rolls Royce I plan to clean off the chrome paint, sand smooth and use Alclad High-Shine Chrome. Perhaps I will do the same for some of the other more prominent parts.\ said:I built the itilari kit some years ago and have to say it went together very well the only thing that was a bit disappointing was the chrome on the grill looked as though it had been sprayed on and ran, I cleaned it all off and sprayed it silver but it never looked as good as chrome. Your build looks to be coming along great.
