This is a 1911 Daimler by matchbox. It was missing the spare wheel and one of its headlights. To round the picture off the windscreen frame was broken and the grill was missing. I decided to paint this as some kind of adventurer car for our African campaign and hide the damage. The rolls and bag are from Company B and Tamiya. The leather covering is scratch built (obviously) and I was really happy to get it into that state it is now. It conveys leather quite nicely I think. The grill was hidden by a - slightly to large - coil of rope. Then again... an adventurer always needs rope.
This is the first proper vehicle I've ever painted. A lot of new fields for me there, but I like the end result. Now I only have to convince myself to paint a tank and be more bold with weathering. :)

The Daimler looks wonderful. In fact, so wonderful it has inspired me to follow in your footsteps and try my hand at a 1913 Prince Henry Vauxhall picked up off ebay for £2.50! So, thanks so much for the inspiration.
