finished: The Mini

[henk4]

Now that the big UCP Mini is finished and will be traded tomorrow, I finally managed to complete the small one last night. Two poor pics, will try to make a few more later.

How long did this take you?

[henk4]

if I count the time it would be probably have been 3 to4 weeks, but there were long periods that the half finished producr remained unattended.

I started in April, got it almost finished before going on an extended business trip in early may and then spent this week to finish it. Calculated in hours it should be around 25-30

Nice work!

I remember doing a '69 racing version of the Morris a while ago...

Does it leave a puddle of oil on the display stand ?
Pics aren't big enough to show if you've got the bubbling paintwork on the wings and doors
oh, nice build !!

What the hell is that?
You need to get serious if you wanna start getting your car kitted out.
Don't try something stupid like a Mini. Think big, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution or Audi TT.
Ya gotta start gettin real if ya wanna impress.

Henk's son owned a car just like the one in the kit. That's the reason of building that mini. Anyway, it's a classic and much less stupid than a Lancer or a hairdresser's TT.

One more thing: Henk4 is anything but a starter in kit building. He's almost a pro judging by the pile of kits he built or will build. He could teach you.

Welcome to UCP. No need to be so flashy!
