  • This is the first Rolls Royce that I have ever owned. It was a tricky rebuild which took much longer than I thought. The end result looks stunning, however, I made a big mistake by painting the body and chassis in the wrong colours! - Never mind, it will still look good in my display cabinet and is probably 'One of a Kind'. Please comment and subscribe, thank you, Marty.

    I always appreciate you saving these beautiful models marty. Instead of being on the rubbish pile or abandon in the toy box, you give them a second life. That's a very happy and touching hobby 🙂 thank you for doing it! Because at some point, every toy was some little boy or girls happiness. Thank you for keeping it alive! Bless from the state's 😃

  • @jamiej.tilleyphotographyar5177

    I loved these "models of yesteryear", and I had a few of them back in the 70's. The problem was that they were too large to fit into my carrying case. As a result, while I still have my original mid 70's carrying case with all of its contents, any larger vehicles such as these are lost to time.
    You did a great job, thanks for sharing with us!

  • @ant4812
    @ant4812 Před 4 lety +39

    Nice job even if the two-tone is reversed. Being a Matchbox model of that era, it would have been painted originally with Humbrol gloss enamel. The original colours on this car look to me like Ivory 41, and Sunset Red 51. As for the lights on the Rolls, they would have been acetylene lights. The gas generators are those pots on the running boards. You filled them up to a mark with water and then put a few lumps of calcium carbide in, and put the lid on. After a few minutes you could open the taps and light the lights with a match. An old friend of mine had a (full size) 1905 Peugeot Italia, it used the same system. On the Rolls the lever with the grippy thing on it operates the back brakes, and is also the parking brake. There's also a pedal brake that works on the prop shaft. No front brakes on this car, but then, the national speed limit in 1905 was 20 mph! The ball topped lever is the gear change. It was a 3 speed. Throttle, choke & timing advance/retard were levers near the wheel. Clutch was a pedal on the floor.

      When you see how the earliest cars had to be operated, it makes you wonder that the things ever caught on. Ford's Model T is another great example, with its insane pedal arrangement, bizarre gearbox, and habit of running over its owner at startup if not set up exactly right. :)

    The paint reversal was a "happy accident" and, I think, it looks *better* that way. The gold paint did a good job too. The pink is quite a bit away from the original red but it suits the old Roller and it's certainly not the first pink Rolls Royce. Great result Marty.👍

    My dad had three or four dream car matchbox models on his dresser from the time I could remember until my parents retired. This, in these colors, was his favorite. He once got to drive one at an exhibition at a local race track when they held a gigantice track day car show. My grandfather was the sports editor of the local paper and was able to get my dad in and on a couple occasions behind the wheel of some amazing exotics.

    Marty, you did a wonderful job as usual. You could have painted the plated parts with silver or chrome paint. However, there's another way that you can find all the details of in some CZcams videos. You could replate the parts in Nickle. It's electroplating. I don't know if you'd have to remove all previous plating but it really does the job nicely. First you prepare the plating solution of Nickle, then you put in your parts. In both the creation of the nickle solution and the plating, you need to connect up a battery, the details are in the videos.

    It is a stunning car Marty. Don't be too hard on yourself because other modelers seem to customize rather than restore. If they had to restore the rally cars some use they wouldn't be churning them out so quickly. I feel Its a shame seeing those unique cars turned into a one paint job. Keep up the good work.

  • @owenoulton9312
    @owenoulton9312 Před 4 lety +3

    The "mistake" you made actually makes the car look so much better than the pink fenders. Looks like a "Staempunk" version of Lady Penelope's FAB-1.
    BTW, The condiment squeeze bottles (what you call a sauce bottle) are usually polyethylene or polypropylene, which are inert to most solvents, though I've found when I use them to store methylene chloride (the active ingredient in "hot" model glues like Tenax) will actually evaporate through it... I found that out when the MC supplied to glue acrylic sheet (Plexiglass) started to drop in level after a week. Luckily I'd only lost a couple of centimetres' worth from a 3.78 litre (1 US gallon) jug, so I transferred it into an old brown glass jug and it's been good for years.
