Modelhaus phantom ‘61 El Camino
bisc63 replied to Steve H's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very cool; love everything about this! Great use of colors, cool and realistic stance, and that engine bay is SWWWEEEEET! -
Looking good! I have a long-term work-in-progress going on one of these, and will enjoy checking in on your progress when I can't work on mine. As for the fit of the front end chrome piece, I think it's suffering from a few too many polishings of the mold, which has added material around the perimeter. That top chrome "eye brow" is a bit thick , and will nestle up much better if you carefully file the tops of the brows down, angling your file ( or sanding stick) just slightly to the rear. On the real car, the front facet of that brow piece is barely a half inch tall, so only roughly one half a millimeter on the model. That will bring the rest upward to meet the hood better. Hope this makes sense.

I was just spitballing ideas for something less common.

What a cool color for a massive Chevy! Love it!

Loving the attention to detail! -
Your extra attention to detail painting paid off hugely! You made this old kit look better than it really is, and that green looks SO nice here. Well done!
-
Well that just worked beautifully; looks exactly like anodized metal! Now I wish you would have brought some of that accenting into the interior with all that chrome! Oh well, next time maybe...
-
This is very nicely done. Great contrast between interior and exterior colors, looks SO sharp. Shows what a builder CAN accomplish with these older kits. Well done.
-
Gorgeous paint work on an exemplary model. The engine bay finishes are especially convincing. Well done!

Finished these two after a long (nearly 30 year) layoff...

Very nice models. My dad had, for a short time, a 4-door Pontiac in exactly that color combo. (I think it was called a Grand Ville.) The little truck is just too cool, and just perfectly represents what makes hot rods fun! Nicely done. -
Oh yeah. VERY nice; love that color, it really accents the lines of this body style (one of my favorites). Your model has a very realistic over all appearance, having a nice stance and clean details. The engine bay is beautifully done. I like that the "sit" of the model gives the illusion of heft and weight of the real deal. Very well done; a model to be proud of.

Looks cool, but you forgot to scribe gas filler door on quarter panel! (Wagons and 'Caminos filled from the driver's quarter.) Oh well, looks really nice with the upscale trim! I'm guessing by the slanted B-pillar this started with a Jimmy Flintstone resin delivery body?

Cool project, really looks believable.
-
Wow! That's interesting, a clear that protects without dulling is a Grail product for model builders, as most "chrom-ey" paints seem to be delicate to the inevitable touch.

Classic look; can't go wrong!

Another nice star ship build! Have you ever built the AMT Defiant? Much larger and pretty well detailed; one of their better attempts, but it does take up some shelf space! Mine are still in the box! -

Cool street machines! Especially love the chrome slotted wheels on the Chevelle. Well done.
