Hello fellow model car makers! It has been a very long hiatus, for various reasons. Spring and summer are always busy for me outside, so not usually much desk time. This year was extra busy, with the main project being a remodel of our home, followed by a wonderful Mediterranean trip. I have a bunch of catching up to do, and will do my best to check in with other’s builds here over the next couple of weeks. My next build is near and dear to my heart. I own a 1:1 67 Pontiac Beaumont, bought it back in ‘96. I have wanted to build a Beaumont model for at least the last 20 years. If you know my builds, you know I like pro street, and pro touring cars, ohhh… and yes, I like em low! I have plans for at least 4 Beaumont builds, this one, a pro touring build, a phantom El Camino, and a replica of my car. I have been doing some of the “rough” work over the last couple of weeks, and finally feel ready to start a WIP. I have the stance pretty much set, and reasonable plan to move forward with. I decided to use the AMT kit for this particular project, yes, the Revell body is much better. I’ll explain why later. This will be very similar to my 67 Chevelle PS, but probably not quite as detailed. I will give more information with my next post, and eventually show how I got to where I am now. This is my 1:1 Beaumont… My pro street 67 Chevelle, yes it’s the same GM (medium Garnett red) colour of my real car. Here is my quick mock up. Stance is set, the grill and rear facia are from Canuck 3d. As mentioned, I will share more information once I get going, and show how I got where I am. LOTS of clean up, and fettling to do yet. Thanks for having a look, and as always all questions and comments are welcome. Cheers, Steve
