1971 Chevrolet Chevelle “Heavy Chevy” in Lime Mist.

Cool Heavy Chevy. My best friend has a 1:1 72 Heavy Chevy. It was born with a 402 BBC and a 4-speed. It now has a WICKED 454 in it. It has been back burned for a few years getting all kinds of aftermarket suspension upgrades. I built a model of it for him. I told him he can have it when he takes his 1:1 to its first car show. -
I agree that today's "Transportation Appliances" seem to be mostly white grey/silver or black. The one notable exception is the pretty red on some of the Mazdas. Our household has a Flame Red '03 Durango and my black and gold two-tone '72 Grand Prix. I will NEVER own a grey/silver 4 door ANYTHING!

I would use a silver Shrapie. You'll be done in less than a minute.

Never for profit. Mostly because there isn't any. Building as gifts on occassion because you love them. This is one of those hobbies that completely fails the "Value added" approach. Sealed unbuilt kits have almost always been worth MORE than a built up kit. Now 1:1 cars, there is money to be had if the subject is desirable and the quality of work is high enough.

Very impressive. I love the orange windows and the wheel choice.

I'll admit it, I would make a bad judge as I am too biased based on subject matter. However, I do see and notice great executions of detail when my eye catches them. I would go for the '30 Ford for that reason. While I do appreciate the efforts some put into their patina, I work on old equipment daily. I am much more enamored with new and clean stuff.

It looks like the contrast has been amplified artificially.

Very nicely done. I really enjoyed building my two Freightliners a few years ago. -
Very nice work. 73 GTOs are pretty rare. I do not think I have ever seen one in real life. (I have experienced a couple of 74s)

Mmmm.... SHINY!

Very nicely done. I have one of those kits somewhere in the stash.

Way cool ride. I vote for NO hood.

That is one sweet ride. My Best Man Steve had a silver 1:1 with those stripes. He did not keep it very long.

That turned out very nice. I love the 70's vibe.
