Rolls - Royce

Thank you for the photos.

I would be tempted to leave the body off. Just show the detail of the frame and engine.

Make two of them, scan the chassis and make it, to sit side by side with the completed car. Whatever you do, fantastic job.

@Whulsey, that plastic model is awesome! Who made that?

That frame does look really good.

The photos I posted are of the actual car (wish I could build that good). The plastic model is pretty good. It's made by Italeria and originally marketed here by Testors. Little pricey now, I've seen the old Testors release at swap meets cheaper then the new issue.

Here are some more picks of my progress. Front leaf springs done along with some other details like the gas tank. I hope these pictures show the detail, it's so small and I only have a camera phone so it's hard to get up close picks. Now I am finishing up the front suspension and steering.

Nice work on the chassis frames, dumb irons, and springs.

Thanks doctormax I was worried at first but the more I did the more I became satified with the effect. The pieces are so small that it is a real test of skill just to get the little buggers on let alone get it to look realistic, at least I hope it is having that effect @DUF those picks are of my Phantom II in progress still working on the chassis and drive train. Well back to the shope to do a front end alignment on it LOL.
