57 Chevy

[KWT]

This is the Revell snapper... built this last year right before my surgery.

Paint is Tamiya pearl light blue... and I foiled for the first, and most likely last time.

As always, thanks for looking...

Looks good !  I like that kit a lot.Built 3 of them .

[Tom99]

Nice.

I have heard that the snappy body has good proportions.

Foiling is my favorite part of my builds. You did pick an intensive one for your 1st. Nice work.

That looks great.   That is a tough one to foil.  The next one will be much easier and faster.   I hated BMF the first time I tried it but now it's much easier to deal with.

Great looking build!  I also have a strong dislike for BMF but it looks like you did a dang, fine job with it.

Looks nice. Good job on the foiling.  Foiling is easier if you spread over two or three nights.  I got frustrated when I tried to do it all in one night.

I'm not a big fan of '57 Chevys like some people are, I can take them or leave them but I gotta say, I really like yours. That color works great on it.

Very nice!!

Looks great!

Good color choice on the 57 Chevy.  It has a nice stance.  I have one in my stash.  Nice build.  

[KWT]

Thanks everybody, it is much appreciated...

When I decided to foil this one, I thought I should pick a less complicated one to try on... but then figured, go big or go home.. I spread it out over a week.

You guys that do this a lot, my hats off to ya...

That’s a nice looking Chevy!? Maybe you had some of that bad foil that was around lately….that could make a first go real frustrating.

Thank ya much!

 

I didn't have any issue with it sticking, except in corners... it's just a pita...

I do think I'm going to try it ever so often... maybe... probably not..

Nicely done. Like it or not the 57 chevy is an iconic American car that has a important part in the car culture. Personally, I like the tri 5 all the same. Great job on the paint . Hard to see it's a snapper.

[TransAmMike]

Seems I missed this one.  You did a beautiful job Jeremy. Looks very real in the pictures. I too have built this kit and really like it.  Great job?

[KWT]

Thank ya much..

I really liked the kit. May have to get another one.

[Slotto]

Whoa, that's killer Jeremy! How did I miss this?

[slusher]

Great 57 Chevy and sweet color!

[Ulbo]

Great built and great stance!?

[AMT68]

That build looks beautiful and in a well suited color. What base did you use under the TS-58 and was it clear coated? I've used this color in the past and while it's looked nice, I much prefer the look on this model. 

[crazyjim]

Very nice.

[Dragonhawk1066]

Nicely done, great color choice!

[bluestringer]

Nice. I've built one, been thinking of building another one.

[KWT]

Thanks guys, I do appreciate it.
