Force Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I haven't shown much of my work on this forum so I thought I would change that and show some pics of one of my old builds. I saw a nice 58 Impala with yellow and white paint and green interrior here in town when we had a car show back in 1995 and I thought I should do a copy of that one, so this model was started in 1996 and finished a couple of years later. It's an old AMT kit built mostly out of box but with some detailing and aftermarket stuff such as American Satco tires, Model Car Garage photo etch set, BMF for the trim, flocking and some wiring and photo etched pieces for the engine. The paint is rattle can car touch up paint, the yellow is a VW/Audi color and the white is Volvo, and finally clear over the whole thing. Edited June 1, 2014 by Force
hemi Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Well if that's the kind of work you are going to do......I hope to see a lot more of it in the near future. Its beautifully built.
TooOld Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 That's nice , I really like it ! Your choice of colors and your trim work couldn't be any better . I happen to prefer the old AMT kit over the Revell kit but I've never seen the doors fit as nice as yours . . . very nice work !
donb Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Well if that's the kind of work you are going to do......I hope to see a lot more of it in the near future. Its beautifully built. I agree. Please post more! Super nice build
DeeCee Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 That is a very nicely finished build mate, great work i reckon.
rustybill1960 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Very nice indeed Thank You for sharing Later Russ
Old Buckaroo Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Wow - what a beauty ! Nice all the way around. Don't be shy about showing more of your oldies.
MrObsessive Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Another beautiful Impala! Yeah, foiling this takes extra effort and patience! I'd say you've done an excellent job on one of the toughest kits to BMF!
Force Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks a lot guys, more will come later. Bob: I cheated on the doors...I don't open them anyway so I glued them shut.
Biggie Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Nice & clean build. Interesting mix of using VW/Audi & Volvo colors - the final result is stunning.
58 Impala Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Nice job, like the color combo. I've built this kit, definitely a BMF challenge. If you can foil this kit, you can foil anything.
