Christos s,

Don't have any but, those look very nice. The Pink one really grabbed me...guess I have been hanging around Joez to long eh.

Your user name kinda reminds me of a Porsche Boxster S. Always Enjoy seeing other peoples paint ups....thanks for Sharron! :cool:

The AML Rolls Red with white top is trimmed in gold & mounted on a Aurora T-Jet 500 chassis.Car has custom made clear plastic windows.
Blue on yellow is my own resincast mounted on a JLTO chassis.What you may have not noticed is its longer wheelbase.I cut a AML Rolls in half & extended it to a longer wheelbase.What is good about this is thye fact that the interference issues concerning the p/u shoes are eliminated.

I meant to say that I cut an AML Rolls in half & extended it & used it as a resincast prototype.The blue/yellow car is a resincast I made from a rubber mold.

Here is a pic of the Bentley version of the AML/Marx Rolls prototype I did back in the day.It never went beyond this stage.The pic compares it to the original Rolls version.The headlights were prototyped from the Atlas Allard LeMans kit & the grill was from my first Lionel Based BadAssBentley.Any opinions as to further development ?How about you Joez ?
