Following the theme of the last entry, here are two more cheap and cheerful vehicular restorations.

The 3.4 litre Jag is a Lesney model that was in a very tatty state. I flush-glazed it from the outside using Glue-n-glaze as I didn't want to faff around getting into the rivetted interior. It worked surprisingly well although I've not always had success with glazing big gaps like the windscreen. The model was repainted. The Lesney wheels were retained, but I swapped the original crude axles for new ones which slightly improves the look.

 

I'm not sure if this is the same type of Jag as driven by Morse but I couldn't resist painting it red.

 

The Rolls takes bargain modelling to the extreme - this one started off as very basic plastic toy in a Christmas cracker. I dismantled it, glazed it, added a rudimentary interior, and then painted it the same red as the Jag. It retains the original wheels but moved slightly out on their axles for a better look.

 

Both models will benefit from numberplates when I can source some suitable items.
