Geno Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Whitebox 1/24 replica of Marilyn Monroe's Caddy given to her by Joe DiMaggio when they got married. He had it custom painted this color by none other than George Barris to match the color of an outfit Marilyn had that he loved. The only thing I didn't like is they didn't detail the interior in the right colors. I already have it apart to remedy that. I'll keep ya posted. It's still a gorgeous model.

Geno Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 LOL, you're welcome Gary. They got the proportions better than either Mint, that's why I never got the DM or FM versions.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Thanks guys, I do appreciate the kind words, they do keep me motivated. Bill, I used Rustoleum Rustic Pink and Vintage blush. i was trying to get as close as possible to the real cars colors off the shelf. It's not perfect but close enough to represent the real car. The colors ARE closer to the real colors, they just showed up lighter in MY pics under LED's. In natural light they look a lot closer.☺️ Edited October 23, 2021 by Geno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
