traditional Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) This 1/25 model is made almost entirely of modified stuff in a variety of materials, rescued from my parts bin. The only new purchases for the model's completion were the PE grille and licence frame from Mode Car Garage, as well as the aluminum tubing used for a bunch of the mechanical parts, etc. I believe the wheels are from the Revell/Monogram Deuce roadster kit, and the tires are a complete mystery as to their origin. The simulated tuck-n-roll upholstery is formed from model railroad siding, and the tri-carb Oldsmobile J2 motor was modified and detailed from a Revell parts pack Cadillac motor. Suspension is individual-leaf transverse springs/chackles fabricated from aluminum sheet, and the radiator is fabricated from polished brass sheet and mesh. Paint is automotive custom mixed basecoat/clearcoat. Edited January 30, 2020 by traditional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 What a beauty! (Those seats actually look ergonomic and comfortable, something you don't see too often in 1.25th.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Beautiful looking Coupe. You must have a very large group of spare parts to draw from. Besides the paint the detailing looks great. I enjoy seeing the little touches like your floor shifter and shift boot as these types of details really make a standout model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
