The Creative Explorer Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Last week was a crazy week, it started out the week before with getting a new job and moved to a city 100 miles from my place. This is where I stay in the weekend, through the week in the new place. It was very doubtful if I could find something big enough for me to model. But I did. The first day I started off building on a small stool, the second day I found a used desk, but I had to sit on a speaker. The third day I was able to find me a good second hand desk-chair and I just bought this weekend a good desk-lamp. The only thing I can think off as a disadvantage is to keep everything mobile, so I can model here and there Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnyway; I decided to start a new project, both the '40 as the third Christine were in the painting-stage and I can not spray-paint over there. So I thought off taking the '55 Chevy with me and it would be a nice project to work on. I had a hard time modelling with proper light, so I do see imperfections I want to improve. I will detail the engine better throughout time and I am trying lots of new techniques ( for me that is ). I also primered the car today and gave it its color. The box art was green, but I didn't fancy that. So I gave it a nice burgundy paint. I wasn't planning using the decals that came with the kit, but I looked over it again and I thought the white and orange did match nicely. So, please let me know what you think.

fredfordguy Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Nice looking 55, although not a pro mod, this one looks the low part. Power is a Shafiroff big block. It has a 7 inch chop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
