lmagna Posted February 22, 2020 Share #34 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Good whisky, scotch, brandy, and even rum. In that environment any would do, but you would need the smoking jacket as well. If you are going to go for the cigar, then why not just break out the pipe? My father used to smoke an occasional pipe in the evenings when I was a child. Sometimes the tobacco he used was quite aromatic.

Canute Posted February 22, 2020 Share #35 Posted February 22, 2020 Sounds like a great library. I think the pipe could work. The brandy snifter is a real need, too.

Jack12477 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share #37 Posted February 24, 2020 WOW. That was some GPS malfunction - we took quite a detour thru the forests Getting back on track. I primed the black plastic body parts with Tamiya Fine grey primer. Then repainted them in a Dark Chocolate. For the side panels (cast in yellow) I over painted them with a Sand color and for the seats and other interior upholstery I painted them Fawn color. Then started to assemble the pieces. Interestingly the transmission, engine oil pan are chrome plated. I would expect the engine head cover to be chrome but this is a new one for me. Note to Lou: The floor wax has not been applied to the Chocolate Brown fenders yet. That should deepen the color and provide a nice gloss look. marktiedens, lmagna, Canute and 11 others 14 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no place to even mention anyone else's painting abilities or efforts! In fact you were the one who taught me about using Future to create a gloss finish from whatever surface you were using as a base. It's is an obvious use for Future therefore it was too hard for me to figure out on my own! The seats look perfect. The color is exactly the same as the brown part of my seats in my Mini Cooper. I think Mini calls it camel. Either way I like the color. I think in the real engine the head would not be chromed, (Or in those days Nickel plated) but probably painted the same color as the rest of the engine. Same for the oil pan. I don't think pimping out the engine compartment was ever a big aspect of cars back then. Most people who owned cars like this probably never even opened the hood themselves anyway.

People around here keep building in the lowlands and next to the rivers. and every year they act surprised when half their house in under water. But this year it was worse than normal. W have had a number of mud slides, one of them is still moving and we have not had rain for a few days now. They even had to close a major freeway for most of the day because a mudslide covered it up and it took the rest of the day to clear it. Now watch it dry up and we won't have any rain at all for the Spring. We normally get quite a lot of rain in Spring.

Jack12477 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share #60 Posted February 27, 2020 Finished Windshield got a little messy - fell out twice on me - used Gator Grip Acrylic glue first time - 2nd time use G-S Hypo Cement - smudged it a bit putting it back in. Otherwise all came out okay - applied two coats of Pledge floor wax over the acrylic paint body before gluing on the chrome fiddly bits. Now to shrink the kids and take a ride in the Countryside lmagna, Edwardkenway, Landlubber Mike and 9 others 12 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
