  1. Thanks man! This was one of my first modified builds. I definitely would a whole lot of things differently if I were to do it over.
  2. Great color!!
  3. Thank you for those kind words. And you’re right…pink was fitting on cars of this era for sure…especially the ones that were as long as a city block.
  4. ? thanks man! The color is definitely fitting for it.
  5. Thanks man!! This was a pretty decent kit to build
  6. Thank you very much! Not bad for an iPhone 12 Pro Max.
  7. Thank you very much for the kind words!!
  8. Lol, thanks man. Pink it is. Had to have something a bit more modern on it lol
  9. Thank you very much! I was afraid it’s too much pink, but I think it’s balanced out. Thanks for the kind words!!!
  10. Thank you very much! I like the wheels much better than the kit wheels for sure.
  11. Sweet! Can’t wait to see your build someday.
  12. Thank you! Next one is a 70 skyline in an orange/yellow
  13. Thanks Steve! My wife had been wanting me to build her a pink Caddy, so this fit the bill lol
  14. Thank you very much. Scalefinishes color and splash paints 2k clear never fail lol. Lol oh man bet it it was definitely like a tank lol.
  15. Thank you very much sir. I bought them from a seller on eBay that I use often. They’re not a water slide, they’re just printed and you cut them out and glue them in place. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-CADILLAC-ELDORADO-GAUGE-FACES-for-1-25-scale-REVELL-MONOGRAM-kits-PLS-READ-/203490746607?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 thanks man!!
  16. Thank you sir!! Thanks man! Yes, the more you look the more you’ll find lol. There are vacuum hoses off the actuators, tubes for the windshield fluid bottle, battery cables, heater blower vent tube, and the list goes on lol.
  17. Thank you very much sir! Thanks brother!!
  18. Finally able to call this one complete. I didn’t post any WIP pics on here as they’re all on my Instagram account Early 90s Monogram 1959 Cadillac Eldorado 1:25 scale. I have to say I was impressed by the quality of this old kit. No real major issues on fitment or anything. Paint is finished in ScaleFinishes Ford Tropical Rose and topped with Splash Paints 2k Clear Coat. The chrome trim is done using BMF, and all of the bumpers and things such as this, are finished in SpazStix Chrome. All emblems are part of the Modelcar Garage Photo-etch set for the 59 Caddy. I decided to lower the kit some to give it a good stance, and the wheels and tires are from the Foose Eldorado kit, also finished in SpazStix Chrome. Interior is completed using embossing powder for the carpeting, and utilizing the photo-etch parts, again from Modelcar Garage. The engine bay is fully wired and plumbed. I also added some fender brace bars as I noticed on the 1:1 from some reference pictures. Thanks for looking!
