Hello and welcome to BOAB Models - today it's the 10th anniversary of my wife and I getting married. So to mark the occasion, I have built the our wedding car, converting and improving the Airfix 1/32 E type Series 1 into the Series 3 car which we drove.
In this build I've replaced the wheels, seats, decals, and axles whilst improving the steering wheel, dashboard, roof, grille, bumpers, lights and adding new mirrors, sun visors, hand brake, seat belts, number plates etc
Basically I changed a lot!
The Jaguar E-Type, or the Jaguar XK-E for the North American market, is a British sports car that was manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1974. Its combination of beauty, high performance, and competitive pricing established the model as an icon of the motoring world. The E-Type's claimed 150 mph (241 km/h) top speed, sub-7-second 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration, unitary construction, disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and independent front and rear suspension distinguished the car and spurred industry-wide changes.

Congratulations onthe 10 year anniversary, and what a great conversion build, you've really come on well and turned out a lovely little kit, well done.
Now, I bet it was your idea for the poor lady to get into that car in a wedding dress :)
Thank you very much!
Haha - at least it was bigger than the MGB which we nearly went for. She was jealous that the dress meant she couldn't drive herself!
@@BOABModels MGB ? strewth, Jaguar is much better but I'm biased as i don't like MG's :) not being able to drive it ?, now I see the planning involved :) I hope she's got her own back on you :)
@@Sarah-JaneR32 haha her dress was more expensive than the car hire 😅
We've spoken about doing a track day experience at some point which I'm sure she'd enjoy
Love the channel Thomas! I really like the side notes you add. If able, please leave them visible for a longer period. It’s nice to be able to observe your find work and refer to the additional info after enjoying the details.
Thanks very much, Jeff. Yes, you're not the first to ask that and I do try to keep them up for longer. I'll see what I can do for the next one.
A very lovingly made kit! Great attention to detail in all areas, and lots of creative solutions to finding the parts you needed. Well done!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
Great work Thomas, you did a nice job on this Jag. Nicely detailed and colour came out great too. Well done 👍🏼
Thanks a lot Karl. I really wanted to do a good job!
Lovely work, Thomas. Very resourceful adapting a Series 1 into a Series III. It's a great improvement over the original kit indeed!
Thank you, Gustavo. I decided on the Airfix over the Revell kit as it seemed like more of a blank canvas to make changes to. The Revell has the wrong engine too!
Aside from the exhaust, great.
Very nice work of a smaller scale model. Like the wedding pic next to the Jag.😁
Thanks very much, David. I still can't believe it was 10 years ago
That’s very cool. I like the plaque you put it on.
Cheers Robert! 👍
Nice job Thomas! Very impressive modifications! Great results. Don’t forget just married sign. Congrats on your 10th. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks, Richard. Haha - I tried to add ribbon to the wing mirrors like we had but the ribbon was too heavy and pulled them off!
@@BOABModels That’s funny. Good thing the 1/1 ribbon didn’t do the same.
Very cool conversion and congrats on the anniversary.
Thanks very much!
Я бы на руле попробовал бы сзади сделать три выемки, чтобы декаль глубже сзади села на руле, но и так классно вышло 👍
Happy Anniversary! Cheers!
Thanks very much, Joe
Congrats on the anniversary!! Keep up the nice vids!
Many thanks, Ali
And if you gonna teach begginers how to build a model then don't show airbrush work cuse they will go out buy most expensive airbrush kit thinking you have to have air brush and the s theres s with dogs
True - I don't use an airbrush.
