customline Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 All I had was these 2 photos my wifey took for me while we were traveling on route 17 in Gloucester county, VA a few years back. It was difficult for me to get a good look at it but I knew right away that I needed to build it in scale. My version isn't a true representation but inspired by the unusual style of this 1:1. I tried to use the elements I observed and faked the rest 🥴 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 It certainly look the part. The main thing is that now, you can look at it and bring up that memory. Good job on the engine too.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I love it too. I've had a lot of luck using that those paints (Testor's and MM). Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This looks great. I'm used to seeing models and 1:1 built as full Fender'd so this is a good change. Your model has a great looking paint finish, and the dark blue looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was odd at the time but I think they're fair game now. It's a new look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 That's a good looking Chevy! I'm glad someone else likes Testors Model Master paints. They were my go-to for over forty years but are no longer available in Australia. I miss them already but fortunately still have a small stash to work through. The Moroso rocker covers on your big block suggests it might have come from a Monogram Pro Stock Camaro! Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I robbed that one. For all I know, the rocker covers were in my parts box (translate that to "mess") It could be just about anything under those covers. I should probably write this stuff down. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
