MOTHRA! '59 Imperial

Recommended Posts

This build has been running in "On the Workbench" for a while now and I finally finished it last night. I've hardly had time to look at it myself.

Most everything used came from either the Model King '59 Imperial or AMT '69 Riviera where the roof, interior, wheels and engine came from. The tires are from Modelhaus - their excellent tires always add a classy touch to a build. The tail lights are '56 Packard units from Replicas & Miniatures. Paint is Duplicolor Black Cherry (Chrysler) and Ivory Glacier Pearl (Nissan) with a Testors clear coat. Mix it all together and modify almost everything and this is what you get.

really well executed -how did you do the upolstery

The short story is that the upholstery pattern is done with decals. Check out the thread in "On the Workbench" and you can see more details on the process.

Everybody, thanks for the your kind comments. This build was a lot of fun!
