  • 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.

    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.👍
    Congratulations to the three winners - well done guys.

    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!

    Only just found your vids and now can’t stop binge watching! Brilliant work and must be so satisfying to see these models come back to life. The Ghost looks fantastic. If you want to add an authentic touch, the RR on the grille would have been painted red (changed to black after Henry Royce died in 1933).

    I've settled on re-using Tamiya paint jars, too. I've used little individual-serving jelly and jam jars, and I've also re-used Model Master jars. But they don't seal as well. That inner lid in the Tamiya jars make them pretty much air-tight. And they're proof against really hot solvents. I keep lacquer thinner in one of them, to have a quick supply at hand.

    Marty - Fun fact, mate. The bit at the end of your Dremel at 1:44, it screws off. It saves you having to find the spanner to undo the the collet. If you look at the hole in it, you will find that it is the same shape as the collet.
    You unscrew the cap, slip it over the collet, press in that little button that stops the axle turning and the cap can now be used to unscrew the collet. With the new tool inserted, reverse the procedure to tighten the collet and then slip the cap down and tighten it back on to the end of the Dremel and “Robert is your mother’s brother!” (Bob’s your uncle)

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.

    @ant4812 4 года назад +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. :)

    That looks superb, Marty. What a beautiful car the 1906 Rolls-Royce was.
