Can-Con

Very pretty. I wasn't aware GM did two aquas in '70. My 1/1 '70 Skylark cvt was the lighter, more common aqua.

Man, that's sweet !! Very similar to what I had planned for mine

They sure look like the Olds wheels Casey.

Another beautiful Custom. Fantastic work John.

Beautiful build. I never really cared for those Monogram kits but that one sure looks great.

Thanks everyone !

Airbrushed a custom mix of Tamiya acrylics. Basically clear with a bit of clear green and clear blue sprayed on the inside then clearcoated and polished out .

That looks great !

Thanks Jonathan and Ron. I got it at NNL East over 10 years ago. At that time an unknown resin caster was doing these and various retailers like Model King, Spotlight Hobbies, Model Roundup and a few others were selling these kits rather cheaply. I haven't seen anyone selling them in quite a while now.

Simple curbside resin kit, no engine or chassis detail. Pegasus "Sovereign" wheels and tires.

yes

Pretty sure the 1st wire wheel is from an original issue AMT Cobra Roadster. The rim detail is slightly different in newer issues.

Thanks everyone,, again!. I was pleasantly surprised to see this one surface again, it's one of my favourites too.

Actually, I made the inner section of the tires. The red line and the black between it and the rim is made from sheet plastic. Built it out large enough so a "23 Pegasus tire slips right on snug.

First thing I noticed when I looked for reference pics is that this is the interior for a '65, not a '66. That's OK though as it's just a quickie curbside build. I just sprayed everything the same dark red I used on the body, flocked the floor and did some detailing with foil and flat black paint on the dash, a bit of foil on the console and sided of the seats and silver paint on the rest of the interior. It's all glued in the body now and I'm working on a flat sheet chassis. Should have pics of the finished car up tomorrow evening.

You mean like this Snake? I think it's from the top coats drying too fast and shrinking and the underlying coats not being completely cured. Only thing I could do is strip it and redo the car. It's now in primer but I never got around to redoing all that candy and fade work.

If you mean mine Steve, it's House of Color candy brandywine over a metallic pink base. It turned out a bit lighter than I expected but I'm happy with it.

Beautiful. That generation Nova look just about perfect in that lime green.

Here's my 5 window. Wheels and tires are from the street rod version of the AMT '41 woody.

The 430 from the AMT '69 Riviera could pass for a small block, it is kinda undersize.

Very impressive.

IIRC, it's Australian slang. At least, I've mostly heard it refered to that way by Australians.

I have a resin '70 GTX. With a bit of dremel work, I was able to get the rear window from an AMT '68 Road Runner to fit pretty good. I haven't worked on it in about 8 years, maybe time to get it back out.

Looks like fun. Nice to see a Monza being built that's not a pro stock car or a pontoon fender car.

I think it kinda depends on how shiny the car you're building is meant to be. A replica of an old beater shouldn't be very shiny. But a replica of my Trans Am probably should be very shiny.
