Completed 1935 Morgan with RAF driver and passenger 1/16

[Briggsy]

Awesome work, going to be an amazing sight to see once complete, though it's already good as it is.

Cheers Simon

Like this one I photographed in Woodhall Spa, a few weeks back....

See, told you it was small!

It is small, but then again, most British cars of that era were.

Funny thing happened today, I read this thread waiting in the car to pick my daughter up from work and deliver my Granddaughter to her rightful keepers! On the way back driving past the Farnborough airfield a car looking awfully much like those pictured here was going in the opposite direction. Now I grant that to me cars come by size and colour, but how many two seater 3 wheeled sporty cars are there. We'll I thought it was interesting anyway.

hi folks, some more progress on my driver and passenger for the 1935 Morgan. Faces pretty much done, aiming for early wartime hairdos!

 

[Briggsy]

Looking really good, some lovely sculpting.

Cheers Simon

Some steady progress on my 1/16 Morgan, today. Driver and passenger finished and all the bits attached to the body and chassis ready for primer, if it's dry outside tomorrow

 

[Briggsy]

That looks really impressive, once painted it's going to be stunning.

Hi Steve

This is looking great love the detail on the car clever and patient puttywork

Liking the hairstyles though must have been interesting to get in and out !

Looking forward to seeing more

Happy priming

Wonderfully nostalgic modelling. It must have been a bit of a squeeze for two, but I suppose in mixed company that was a significant part of the attraction!

Thanks for all the kind comments. The Morgan now has its colour coat on. Got to let it all harden off prior to a polish. All the rest of the car will be brush painted, as I have an aversion to masking and I don't use airbrushes.....

 

[Briggsy]

Looks great, I've heard about polishing larger scale car kits but not sure I understand the process. What paints do you use and why polish and not use a gloss paint?

Cheers Simon

Hi Simon, this is painted in Halfords Ford Ivory from a rattle can. Ill flat it down with 3200 Micro Mesh, then give it a polish. It gets rid of the inevitable slight orange peel.

Ah I see, thanks for that as I've wondered on and off for a long while about the polishing.

Well, the car is now all in one piece (minus the headlights). Still a bit of touching in to do, here and there and some Slaters plastic letters and numbers to obtain for the registration plate. Figures are primed and cleaned ready for paint...
