Re: (mini) Mini Project.... of the 1:24th size

A few weeks ago when the weather was giving me no incentive to go into the cold garage & work on the Mini, I built a model of one of it's ancestors, a 1924 Morris Cowley. In my younger days I built all kinds of plastic kits, but I saw the Morris on ebay in the form of a white metal kit, so I couldn't resist & thought that would be an ideal car to build in the warm! It arrived & was actually a bit smaller than I had anticipated, but all the greater the challenge. It even has a detailed dashboard which I achieved by reducing a photo of one & printing it! I am quite an enthusiast of full size cars of that era, not to drive, but they are so wonderful to work on.
