Thanks very much!

I don't post my builds often but this is such an unusual car. Just finished up for a friend. 1/24th scale Doyusha kit. Added white wall tires, played with the stance a bit. Too bad the interior is only 3/8ths of an inch deep so it could be motorized.

Thanks for your interest. I hope to be able to offer these in resin by sometime in May. Sales will be on the auction site.

1/25, 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Custom Classic.
Paul Hettick replied to Jeffcad's topic in Model Cars
Fantastic build and conversion work Jean- Philippe! Love to see your 69 Cadillac with the brocade interior. -
Patrick, the wheelwell flares are from the Starsky and Hutch Torino. I had to raise the line where it blends into the fender a good bit. And thanks to you all for continued interest. Sorry for being slow to reply. Here are some more progress shots.

Thanks for all of your interest in this, sorry I am late to respond. Here are a few more photos. The outside body proper is essentially done, need to even out the depth of the panel lines, sand with 2000 grit, polish and add door handles, back up lights to the bumper, trunk crest and V and Sedan de Ville scripts.

Thank you Derrick! No website at this time. Currently selling trans- kits on the popular auction site. Have only released two so far but expect more in April/ May.

Thank you very much Jean- Philippe! I hope to be able to offer copies by this coming May. Please post more of your fantastic Cadillac builds for us all to see!

Looking good Rico! Keep going. -
Call EBay and report the theft. They will put a stop to it. If the person you speak with won't do anything about it ask to speak to a supervisor. 8665403229

Create photo etch scripts in 1/25th. I can do the art work. -
It's a resin copy from a JoHan 59 Olds from the Modelhaus.

Thank you! Looking to get this one in rubber soon.

Thank you! After grafting in the fender flares something did not look right ut oh.... Turns out the entire deck area as well as the entire upper quarter panel line is .060 too high. Time to get the saw out.

Been playing with this one for a while. Needed a break from the 78 Thunderbird so I've been working on the Cadillac interior. This will build off the Revell Eldorado.

Thank you Peter and it is looking good Rico!!! -
Thank you all for your interest. Been working on the lower sides and decided to blow a coat of primer on to see where I'm at. Fairly pleased so far. Will be adding the wheel opening flares and starting on the front end details soon.
-
Thank you very much. And Riley, thanks for the offer there are a few dimensions I may hit you up for. The nearest one to me it 60 miles out. I measured it extensivly but missed a few things. Here's a few more progress pics.

Hi Grzegorz and thanks, yes the wheel is 3 D printed and the results are fantastic! Thanks Dave, yes it will be available in kit form someday. I also had a 79 a few years back. had the 351 in it and was surprisingly good on gas. Never put a nickel in repairs. Mike, I actually woke up at 6 am Sunday and got to work! Thanks Bill, it will be a complete kit including a photo etched sheet and Modelhaus tires. Thanks David. Looks like I have to raise the hood line at the front to reduce the downward slope, that's going to be fun, then start on the front end details. Stay tuned.

Here's some progress pics. happy with the roof line, deck lid height, width and length. Upper front fender length and height is good. Next to check the slope of the hood in relation to the front fender peaks.
