Love it so far! Great detail on the door panels.

I know others have said it but that paint work is fantastic - love the Buick grill too!

I wish I could make those haha - fortunately for me they were included decals. This was a cool kit that I wouldn’t mind doing again in stock form.

This ‘Stang looks great. Huge fan of the teardrop scoop!

Thanks for the kind words! Definitely excited to get on to the Dart (and I just bought a Spirit of ‘57 kit today!). This site is so inspiring and has so many great resources for taking these builds to the next level. Looking forward to sharing more and seeing more of what the folks on here are building.

Well it’s been just about 8 years since I’ve posted anything on here or really built any models. Being stuck home I decided to finally crack open this kit I hd around It’s a 1957 Ford Wagon Gasser. Being my first build in years I was a bit rusty but I had honestly forgotten how enjoyable it is. Overall this was a pretty good kit. I made the mistake of not test fitting - specifically the 2 chassis pieces, which led to an issue with the stance. Apparently the frame part wasn’t molded exactly right and there’s a bit of a gap in the front - chalk it up to a lesson re-learned. This build definitely rekindled my love of the hobby and I’ve already purchased my next kit: 1968 Dodge Dart.

A little update to the Nomad: It's not actually all glued together, but just a test fit of the body and to see how it looks. First time really using the Bare Metal Foil. A little wrinkly but I think it came out ok.

That paint was pretty fresh ... I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of it ... and now that's it's dried even more it looks pretty decent. It's no show piece but once it's done it'll look good ... plus I'm going for more of the "hot rod" look so I think it'll work out ok.

Here are a few pics of the body. The paint didn't come out all that great as it was sprayed with a rattle can, but once the trim is finished I think it'll really make the body look great.

I really must say ... looking around this forum, and including this thread ... you guys are the nicest group. I don't think I've seen one bit of negativity anywhere.

This looks absolutely fantastic!

I checked on the body and the old paint is coming off very nicely. Can't wait to see this in metal flake orange.

Thanks for the enouragment. Right now the body is soaking in a vat of LA's Totally Awesome. I may have put the paint on a little thick haha.

I'm kind of getting back into doing model cars ... I've built a few recently and I'm working on improving my skill. Unfortunately I wasn't gifted with the steadiest of hands so it's proving to be a little bit difficult getting good detail but I'm working on it. Here are a few pictures of my Nomad in progress.
