Michael Kröger Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hallo Today Finish Pics from my 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer D500. Base was the Hendrix Resin as a restoration. 1957 Chrysler 300 from AMT as Donor for the Interieur. Some Parts are Scratch or 3D designed and 3d printed. I am very Lucky to finish it.

Janne Herajärvi Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Amazing! Beautiful model, you dont see these too often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 WOW!!! It would be amazing if done from a full kit, but as a reunion of parts, and a Hendrix body, it's nothing short of a work of art. I have a Hendrix body of a '57 Fairlane 500, and it's BAD. Warped roof, thin spots on the engine bay you can see trough (there is an actual hole on the radiator), and extra thick on the rockers, so thick the AMT chassis is 5mm "too wide" to fit. Not to mention the pin holes, and texture over the entire body. When I decide to build a Fairlane 500, It will be easier to just modify the AMT polystyrene body.

Sixties Sam Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Beautiful model! Great colors and foil work! My parents owned a 1957 Dodge when I was a kid. It was a big car! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTallDad Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Absolutely dazzling. You nailed it! I remember those dual antennae...both of them functioned. Depending on the radio station location and the direction you were traveling, the signal (and volume) would vary if the car changed direction, such as in a curvy road.

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Very nice. I'd love to have one for my collection. The best looking car of the 50's in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 What a beautiful model, of a beautiful full size motor car. I agree with Eric in that it must be the best looking American car of the 1950's. I like the tinted glass and the whole colour scheme actually. Nice build Michael and you must be proud of this one.

W-409 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 You nailed it... It looks excellent in every way. Paint job is very smooth and your BMF work looks flawless. Really nice details everywhere finish it off. It's nice to see something like this built, we don't see these done too often... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmann68 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Stunning! It couldn't look better! My grandfather bought one of these brand new and one day later the front fender came loose and got hung up on the tire. There were several bolts missing from factory lol ?
