Kustomm Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 This is the first kit I've built in many years ( I used to be pretty good ) This was only built as a Christmas gift to my brother in law as his father bought one new. I used the AMT 1976 Gremlin with the six cyl. engine and bucket seats from a MPC 1978 Pacer X. I added my own plug wires and was very happy with the wheel detail. the paint color is 1997 GM code 88 bright purple with over reduced Nason clear. This will be wired to a case base and the hood kept sliding off so I added micro rare earth magnets to the back of the hood and fender aprons.

DumpyDan Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Awesome looking Gremlin, the under side of the hood even looks like a Gremlin. That's a beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoopdog Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Great job on the Gremlin. I've built two of these but there nowhere near the quality of yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I like how you photographed your model so it looks like a 1:1 car in the driveway. Very crisp clean build. Nicely detailed engine bay and the wheels are perfect. Your paint work is super smooth and has a great reflection finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berr13 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Ain't no "used to" to it. You still are! That's a great looking Gremlin, and as mentioned, I also like the side shot photo. Congratulations, and now you've made me want to dig out the model I haven't built yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
