bill lanfear Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Hello everyone, here is my fifth build for my “a day in 1979” series of models for a future diorama. It represents my uncle’s car as I remember it back in the 70’s. It was his daily driver and his only car for many years. I weathered it slightly to show some day to day use. I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think. Thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoopdog Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Very, very nice, with all your attention to detail it could pass for the 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Really, really like this build! The weathering work is outstanding, and the paint-detailing on the interior is outstanding as well! I agree; it looks like a 1:1; nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Great build. As others have pointed out the attention to the chassis and engine detailing is very convincing. I like the "Road Splash" on the lower body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
