Hopefully it'll all be over by Christmas! Progress here is glacial.I'm backdating the Milicast Roller to something approaching LC^340,one of the Duke of Westminster's cars. The photo I'm basing it on is p136 FourteenEighteen,by John Masters.It's also used in a composite photo with Lawrence of Arabia, on the cover of SCRolls' Steel Chariots in the Desert, and would appear to be converted to a tender in the final photo of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Disc wheels are drilled out ,replaced with etch from aircraft &plastic rod hubs. Plasticard box is built between rear wheels,driver's visor is plasticard.Bonnet details are replaced with�sprue,Vickers tripod on running board is scratchbuilt,rope is sewing thread soaked in Klear.RH running board stowage is a generic tarpaulin. It's not a patch on your scratch built one, Richard! TTFN� Marcus��
Wow, that looks gorgeous Marcus. When I was back home for a couple of weeks (ending yesterday) I dry fitted some of the Reviresco Roller, should be a nice kit when done, although won't be a for a while yet
I think it's looking pretty good, Marcus. Mine's more of a conversion than an actual scratchbuild. Entex has already done most of the hard work on this project. �� For those that are interested, I've made some progress on the new rear axle.

Hi guys! The emperor is back (atleast for the moment )!
A roller-build sounds swell! I suppose anything on wheels fit that category, right? I was thinking of doing my RPM 1/72 Mack Bulldog with PE from PART.
When is the deadline? Not too early I hope, as I'm currently participating in several group-builds...
Ah! I guess I'll have to pass on the group-build then. I'm anticipating the rumored Rolls Royce AC in plastic, and won't build�any other�until it's released (which may take forever).
