Hey everyone, haven't posted anything for quite some time because, well, there hasn't been much to post. :( Modeling unfortunately has taken a back seat to other pressing matters lately. Hopefully I'll find the time to see some of my current WIPs through to the end.
Ok, on to the reason I created this post... Tamiya's Morgan 4/4. I saw this exact model twice at back to back model shows and finally ended up caving in and buying it at the second show. Definitely worth the purchase for something you don't see everyday. Here's what we have so far....
Engine\Chassis (sorry so blurry, macro wasn't set) :banghead:

Beautifully done wire wheels with knockoffs.

Paint is Tamiya Light Gunmetal with clearcoat (I'll get better pictures outside once complete). After taking the pictures I noticed that I should have done a better job with removing some mold lines near the headlights :shakehead

mock up w/ bonnet and grill shell in place.

Rear view and cockpit. Dash, seats, and front tunnel cover were painted in Tamiya dull red which does a pretty decent job of replicating dark red leather.

Closer view of cockpit. Should have filled in those seat backs too. :uhoh:

More progress to come (I promise!). Comments and suggestions always welcome. :)

I haven't seen one of these built up before! Nice project!
Pity about the few spots you've mentioned!
