There are still some elements of "old" England hidden around, but on the whole it's going downhill. And that's about all I'm going to say on that. Don't want to be breaking the rules. ;)

Thank you! It's ok, she has an older sister and 2 older brothers. She's well protected. I have printed the SoE and grille. She looks a little small and fiddly. If this doesn't work I may have to resort to something else. I have lightened the cut and fold lines since the bonnet test, hopefully...

That Testors paint sounds like a good idea. ;) I had a word with my boss at work tonight and I have some good news. He is allowing me to have some metallic twilight purple paint next time a batch is mixed. This means I can have the official Rolls-Royce colour on the model. This is quite an...

I'm thinking of painting all the chromework as I've found a pot of chrome paint for modeling that doesn't cost much. The silver card I've found seems a bit too thick. It's not a bad back-up idea though. Thanks. :) I'm also trying to work out a way to drop the SoE into the grille, this is part...

I have started unfolding the chromework today, beginning with the grille. I think I'm going to test build the grille and spirit of ecstasy when the templates are finished.

She's more of a unicorns and rainbows girl, although her favourite song is by Blink182 so I must be doing something right. ;)

@Revell-Fan you and @zathros both make excellent points. Upon completion I'll probably only release it to those I feel are trustworthy and capable of building it. I will also ask advice from the forum mods and admins about who those people are. Still a long way to go yet so let's not get too...

How about once it is done, I'll give you a copy of the templates so you can build one for yourself? And I'll do it in your favourite paint colours. :):) Here is a pic of the one I had with my mother in law sitting in it.

It is indeed a lovely car. I had the opportunity to bring one home for the weekend in November 2016. If you ever get the chance to have a ride in one.... take it! Lucky for you @zathros I have a dawn model too and was considering doing it next. That is if the wraith turns out ok. :) 8

Good luck with the repairs, at least you have help. Thought you'd all be interested in some pictures of a RR Dawn. Our convertible model.

I don't blame you for being upset. Don't worry about modeling until you're house is sorted, that is way more important. I for one appreciate the hour (or more) that you spend on this forum every day, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thank you. :Bravo:

I think I'll be taking your advice though and letting a select few try it first if they're interested. I think this will be a model people will want, but might not want to build. ;);)

Sorry, I meant to reference a previous post where you asked if I would be allowed to share the model. I have asked my boss and he said yes. That's definitely some good advice though and worth considering. Thank you. :) Once again, sorry for the confusion.

@zathros there's something I forgot to mention. I have been informed that I can distribute the templates to anyone on the forum who wishes to give it a go. If there is any interest I shall create instructions from photos taken during the build phase, trying to be as clear as possible with...

Thanks guys, I still have the most intricate parts to do. The external bodywork, interior, chromework and engine bay. Once these are all sorted I should be able to begin printing. I think I'm going to start with the interior so that everything else will fit around it.

Thanks. Lots of cutting involved. I'm considering getting a cutting machine to give nice clean edges every time.

Wheels, brakes and steering wheel done. More fiddly bits in this set. I have also included better textures for the sidewalls (hi-res image from a real Rolls-Royce tyre) and treads for greebling.

Sweet, I'll try that later. Thanks very much. The best thing about this forum is that everyone is prepared to help everyone else where they can. Thank you all for your invaluable advice and tips. :):):):Drinks::King: *I have now tried it and it works like a charm. Just need to check hinge...

Subscribed. I hope Shunichi posts builds of more of his models.

I marked the seams in pepakura as I find it a lot easier. Some parts still need changing around afterwards but on the whole it works for me. I can also choose where to put the glue flaps if using any. I'm going to use cocktail sticks or similar to reinforce the hinges and maybe dowel for the...
