Geno Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I've been working on it for a couple of weeks and just finished it last night. Full detail with BMF, carpeting and the PE set from MCG. It is a curbside model. Thanks for looking.☺️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Good looking Caddy. I really like the colour. Marilyn would have looked particularly fine cruising around in that. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I like the paint finish and color. The chrome trim is all very cleanly done. Must have taken the better part on a sheet of Bare Metal Foil. Nice detailing of the lower tail lights in the rear bumper and the headlights. I like how you used the side glass as it adds a different over all look to the model. The interior has a very realistic looking finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majel Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Excellent job, the BMF looks fantastic as does the paint and interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 You've done a gorgeous job on Marilyn's Cadillac Gene! The colour is unexpected and not often seen which makes it all the more convincing for me. It's expertly applied too. I have to say, I get a little nervous thinking about all that foil work, but you did a great job with it. Inside and out! Thanks for posting it.

Geno Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Again, thank you all. Eric, the real car was originally Persian Sand on the exterior, George Barris painted it the Gold color for Marilyn to match an outfit color she really liked. The interior was left original, that's what I liked about it, it's different but still compliments the exterior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Man, that's nice! What an amazing car the '59 Cadillac was. Love the colour you chose, and the interior looks super nice, very realistic looking build. Foil work is on point! Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lghtngyello03 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Looks great! You did a great job. I hated doing the BMF on my 59 convertible but it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Thanks guys, yes, all that BMF was a beast lol. But like Scott said, well worth the time. The real car was custom painted this color by George Barris to match an outfit that Marilyn had and loved. This wasn't a factory color for '59. It was originally Persian Sand, hence the interior color. Here's the real car. Edited November 2, 2021 by Geno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
