Very sorry to hear that you are so disappointed with your build Ken, though not sure why as I think it has turned out very well indeed and has a nice vintage look to it - I love the engine in particular!! 
Actually I admire your perseverance in seeing it through to a finish Ken, especially as you were so close to binning it a couple of times and I think you should be very proud of the end result - well done!!

Thanks kev and Dave (ts an easy misstake, I mean we are both so handsome and good looking, and it is only one letter)Trouble is its about 3 shades of green (I ran out of Humbrol no 3 so bought a new tin and sprayed the bonnet then when I offered it to the rest of the car it was a completely different colour so bought another tin and that was a different colour to the other new tin so mixed them both together and got another shade which I hoped would blend in, but nope so now it is 3 different shades) and there are other things which didn't look as good as I hoped, like the wheels and other stuff, all in all a bit of a failure. Certainly won't be offering it to my boss. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Well the Queen certainly seems to be offering a great smile of approval from the window Ken?!! I would keep an eye on the next New Year's Honours List?
I'm sure there was a quite common mismatching of paint back in the 1930's due to the more simple paint technology that was around in those days - you could just tell your boss that you were replicating that?

Hi Ken, I think you've done a remarkable job with this one and you have overcome the problems with great patience and tenacity so very well done indeed, it has been a pleasure to follow your progress.... .. The queen looking through the window is a very nice and amusing finishing touch.... . Look forward to your next project. Regards Alan

Hi all I have decided to put this in the spares drawer as I can see lots of uses for the parts in other dios. Thanks for following along with the build and taking the time to look Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Well its out of the spares drawer and put together again. My missus told my boss it was finished and she told her husband so he insisted on seeing it, I told him I was not at all happy with it but he insisted so I fixed it up and showed him, he loved it as did my boss he wants to buy it, I don't know what to charge so have left it to him, he asked how much the kit was and said he will have a think and decide how much. That's fine by me as whatever he pays will go towards another kit. Ken's the name modeling's the game.
