I started with these, 2 1/43 Corgi Mini Cooper's with CooperSport wheels & arches.




The first Mini was easy, just a simple rub down and re-spray in Rover Amaranth pearl & Ford Moondust Silver.




Also did something different for the interior, I flocked it in black.




The second Mini was a little harder.




After that was smoothed & painted, I put it back together.






It still needs the rear lights painting on & a spare wheel on the trailer.

If anybody can make some boot decals & silver Cooper stripes for the bonnet and side, it will finish it off nicely.

This has taken about 6 months of on & off (more off than on ) to do but im well happy with it.

This was my insperation, a Mini I saw on PistonHeads.
