Airfix 1/12 4.5 liter Bentley

Hi all not much of an update (these wheels I wish I hadn't started, still I'm getting better with each one, By the time I've done the last one I will be pretty good at it).

Just to show I am still working on it.

Hi all finished the wheels on the Bentley(Not a task I will ever undertake again)

did a bit more weathering on the engine too.

Man! that came out  Great.

The wheels are so much better than stock.   Do like the weathering of the engine, gives it a more realistic  vs a  toy look.

Now that you have the experience, you can tackle just about anything,

so how about  that second Bentley....

Think another Bentley is a long way down the line,but never say never.

I am sure you all must be getting bored of this by now, but I think I'm on the last leg now.

Hi all another update, not long left on this build.
The trouble with all the sprues being in one bag together is that when they knock against each other bits fall off the sprue and you end up with a box full of loose bits. I have discovered that one of the mud guard stays is missing so have had to make one, being a reverse of the one I have it was quite confusing to do but I have managed.

also don't like the mesh over the lights so put some real mesh on them

Hi all, well finally I'm calling this finished.

I know it's a bit of a let down and a bit disappointing, but its not down to the kit, its down to my modeling, so there it is, I cant do any better so I should be happy with it but i'm not.

Hi all I have decided to put this in the spares drawer as I can see lots of uses for the parts in other dios. Thanks for following along with the build and taking the time to look 

Well  though you're not satisfied, you did complete the kit and dio. So that puts you into a group of winners. Your satisfaction is, as always, optional.  So on to the next build and with your new found skills, it will no doubt be a winner too.

Well its out of the spares drawer and put together again. My missus told my boss it was finished and she told her husband so he insisted on seeing it, I told him I was not at all happy with it but he insisted so I fixed it up and showed him, he loved it as did my boss he wants to buy it, I don't know what to charge so have left it to him, he asked how much the kit was and said he will have a think and decide how much. That's fine by me as whatever he pays will go towards another kit.

See, you just don't know you true abilities.  

We all told you  it wasn't that bad.    Now it seems He agreed with us . 

By the way Congratulations, you lucky  duck.
