Car looks great. Back head lights need fiddling with though, a bit too clean. Is it  a die cast?

Don't forget to put a brick or large stone on top of those papers once you've got them painted, they'll blow away else....

Nice job on the car, Andy, very realistic!

I like the wee additions too.
The newspaper stand should have the Evening Standard featured predominantly for a real Trafalgar Square look.



Cheers man!! I was thinking 'Crooked Times' for the newspaper.

Car no.2 done....











This one was a pain in the arse!! :( It just didn't want to paint up decent! It's a Matchbox Whizzwheels car.



Only 4 or 5 more to do... ;)

That is absolutely gorgeous, Andy!
 :-*

Love the paintwork and the weeds in the bonnet are a touch of class.
They remind of a bird feeder in my garden, where the seeds that were in it have gotten so wet during the 'summer' that I now have a ball of grass in a cage!
They look spot on.

Genius.
Pure Genius!

Those cars are mind-blowing! Wonderful work. What do you use for a basecoat? I've been painting some Hot Wheels G-Machines and they really do not want to take paint well.

Oh man, those look great, as does the whole damn thing! Is the Union Jack on the roof of the real Mini freehand, or from the factory?

Just simple Games Workshop Chaos Black spray.

Brilliant.  :D

All from Langley models. Be warned though, the telephone box was a bitch to build!! It's a brass etch and unless you glue the door shut there's no strength in the join to the main body!

Free hand. That's the original condition of the mini in the last picture beside the two taxis.


Cheers guys!!
