Antique automobile

It's finished. Got every detail the diagrams asked for. Steps 11 though 17 were just adding details and accessories like steering wheel, spare tire, roof and a few other things. The more I worked with it the more I'd knock some parts loose, and a few broke. It's just too fragile at that point. I did have to use glue to repair the broken parts and to secure others. The only mod I made was to add a license plate to the rear. It is required since I plan on driving it around the neighborhood a bit. In Arizona, the only issue rear plates unless you are paying to have a vanity plate, which I obviously do, then they give you one for the front as well.

This looks like a model of the 1910 era of the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, up to and including the spare and tool box. With those in place I would find it difficult to get into the vehicle, especially on the driver's side. The two back doors do open, but barely wide enough for someone to squeeze through, but all the details are there.

I enjoyed doing this, as I said, it is focus intensive which is one reason why I like it. My next project is a 1980 sleeper truck cab. I think that one is 1:40 scale which may make it a bit more difficult since there's just about as many parts to it as there is to this one.
