Road Agent

A weird car given to me from a great car restorer Mark Lloyd Riddell, designed by a great car designer immortalized for ever, the great Ed "Big Daddy Roth. He was a great designer and painter that has had some of his great designs made into models for everyone to build and display.


This model was a simple model, only a skill of 2 but still a fun build. Building this model has been good as since I've moved in with my fiance I haven't had the space to move my model building stuff over. It feels great to get back into building models even if it's just a skill 2.


This model is a different scale to what my other cars are but it's only a small difference, I still like to keep all types of vehicles the same scale. This model would not be one I would choose to build as it's not a typical car or in the same scale.

This car is a quirky design and not one that is done anymore, but it is done by a great car designer. It required me to buy two more colours that I didn't have already which made me have to sort out most of my colours again.

This model came with a figurine and a rat fink, this is the first time I have ever made or painted a figurine, but I guess there's a first for everything. The figurines have little pieces which will make it easy and quick to build but being small, hard and finicky to paint.



This is how the model should look and I think I got it looking good. If I had more room then I would make a car display garage, this would display my cars in a way you would like to see them in real life.


Now that I have finished this model I can get started on my military 1/2 track a German Sd.Kfz.8 DB10 Gepanzerte 12t.
