62 Rolls Royce

Started on this Minicraft 62 Rolls Royce, its not a very good kit and i have decided to do something a little different with this one, its going to be a ute, this is where its up to now.

Fantastic. I have had Falcon utes right through since 1984. Years ago a Rolls came up at a reasonable price and I did consider buying it and doing this to it. Looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

That's going to be different. I like it. I'm looking forward to the progress.

Here we go!... another interesting project to keep my on!.
Is it gonna be a R/H drive Aussie ute?...

hadnt given it a thought but now that you mention it i have had a look and its an easy conversion so yes its gunna be a RHD

Now that a different one and six wheeler.

It's gonna be interesting alright! as long it's not going to be PINK! (Ms Penelope)....
BTW Alan... what have you been building lately?...

definitely not pink .........thinking purple !

I was thinking on the pink one from the Thunderbirds too

NOOOO!... Besides, Lady Penelope's Roller was way out your usual shape, and the dual wheels were
at the front,... Jeez now I am showing my age! THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!...

going to look good in Purple.

slow progress on this one but it is gettin done

Lot of work going into the rear of this one.

I love the tandem rear axle idea

gettin there

Nice work. I'm working on one too. But I did something different. I stretched the length by a quarter inch in the rear door section. I used a Hubley version of this kit which is the same mold but predates the Minicraft kit. That way I did not have to deal with the bodged mold at the right hand fender and door line. I used the Minicraft kit Rolls to add the quarter inch. My boss owns the real version and it used to belong to a Magda Gabor's husband while in Switzerland. Very beautiful car and I'm trying to replicate it. Sorry I have no pics. I don't know how to post them here.

Posting photos can be a bit tricky until you have done it a few times. One of the guys might explain how to you. If you ever want to post a pick arrange with one of the guys to email it to them and get them to add it in a reply to your post.

First shade of purple applied, it looks a bit rough, its been so hot here that the paint was drying as it came out of the airbrush! the surface feels like sandpaper, hope it will come up better after a wet sand, then i can apply the darker color.

That's looking great

second color has been added, making progress now

Not too sure about your colour selection there Dv8... but hey,  I reckon I'll wait to see the finished article.
Might be the "Ants Pants" when completed.

the pic didnt show the colors too well, the darker color looks blue in the pic but its actually purple grape

Ya purple is a hard colour to get photos of.
Like the two tone colour on it.
