I would guess around 40£-45£ (model: 20£ - Paintjob: 20£) but everything depends from wargamer to wargamer I guess  :?

The matchbox silver ghost is spot on so I use these for my conversions. I have my own castings for the body.





Am I understanding what you wrote here - that you have made your own castings of the Matchbox bodies? If so, that is IP theft.

If you are buying full Matchbox cars and then up-converting each one and selling them then that is perfectly fine.

You are mistaken :o. I have sculpted my own conversion kit for the matchbox silver ghost. I never pirate anything - it is something I feel very strongly about. I recycle existing diecast models, sometimes called code 3, and cast my own bodies and accessories.

Please see wip below!

Maybe an idea you could sell the conversion kit mate. You might have more people wanting to buy a kit like that but again it's upto you and what you hope to make from the hard work you have put into it.

I can't find the Rolls Royce on Copplestones website.  Anyone now what is going on?  Btw, agree re the matchbox, far far too big.  Shame because it's a nice kit.

Taking into account what was said about pricing I am going to offer my Rolls Royce Armoured car painted, with crew as pictured (but with solid wheels and a Boys a/t gun) for £48.50 plus p&p as a mad special offer. You can chose markings and colour scheme/unit.

I have two on the bench for the first two LAF members who want them. I am undercoating them tomorrow so if you get your skates on you can have exactly what you want. :)

The Company B Roller is the choice for scale. Copplestone is to small. Have seen both and can attest to the later as small.

Cheers,

I meant no offense. By the way you worded it, that was what it sounded like.

Nice kits and finished product.

Thats ok - I just want to make it clear that I am a recycler not a pirate!

Did you see the SAS diorama I posted - featured one or two of your figs?

Bruce
