Another Rolls Royce conversion

[Fitz]

Here's another conversion of Battlefront's Rolls Royce armoured car, this time to (sort of) the 1916 version, using my 3d-printed conversion set from Shapeways.

I didn't do anything about the spare wheels, which should also be spoked, so I probably should add another couple of single wheels to the set.

Again, I rather regret being a cheapskate and going for WSF plastic instead of high-resolution FUD resin, even more so than in my other conversion, because the WSF really didn't resolve the wheel spokes much at all, and I had to paint them in, which is not nearly as good.

Still looks good though

I've just updated my conversion set at http://shpws.me/LD6T — I've hollowed out the turret and used the material savings there to add another pair of wheels (without axles) to replace the model's spare wheels, for those who want to go to the trouble of grinding off the existing ones. I've also added blocks to fit the sockets in the resin model's body; just setting the axle ends in epoxy putty proved to be fiddlier than I'd thought it would be.



I would highly recommend using the FUD version if you can afford it; it's much, much better than WSF. (Note that I get exactly the same royalty regardless of which material a customer selects, so it's no skin off my nose which one you choose )
