She's a beauty!,you know Steve every time I see your beautiful work on this site I am so jealous keep up the awesome work SG. Shaun

That's very kind of you Shaun!

I'll feel a lot better when the paint work on the interior is done.

I'm going to force myself to get some more done on it tonight! :angry:

Wow! Great paint and foil work! The door, hood, and trunk lines look realistic, too. Nice!

Sam

Thanks Sam!

I always seem to get the panel lines a little darker than I would like them.

I use a darker shade of the body color, or close to it, for the lines, but I wind up not taking "shadow" into account when I mix the paint.

But, as my father used to say, "Good enough for the girls that I go with". :D

I love these old Mopars.......... I got a single '57 300. but I want yet to get a '58 Satellite, and anything else Mopar in the 50's.....

NICE work!

Thanks John!

Yeah, the Mopars from the 50s are woefully under represented today in the kit world.

We have AMT to thank for the '57 300 & the '58 Plymouth, & now Mobius has given us the '55-'56 Chrysler 300s.

That's about it!

Don't you think it's about time Revell gave us a 50s Mopar?

My vote is for a '55 Belvedere or a '56 Desoto! :)

I don't comment much on your work because every time I see one of your models I am just speechless. Another masterpiece in the works.

I would think that there could be a possibility of that.

If Mobius wanted to play the '55-'56 Chrysler kits to the hilt, We could see a lot of great stuff that could use a lot of the basic parts from those kits.

I'm seeing a '55-'56 New Yorker, Desoto & Imperial, all able to utilize a lot of the same parts as the 300s.

How about it Mobius? :)

Just a couple more interior shots.

Nothing real ground breaking, but I finally got the upholstery painting done, clear coated the dash & steering wheel, & shot the tub & dash pad with some pearl.

Hopefully tomorrow night I can start foiling, detailing & carpeting.

Gonna give my age away, but I had a teacher when I was in the fourth grade that had a black '59 with silver interior. He always had it polished like a mirror.

Yep. The neighbor I wrote about earlier on this thread, I remember the day he drove it home for the first time, brand new! I looked at my brother, he looked and me and we both thought he just lost his mind! LOL. His former cars were not as flashy, and a lot older!

Steven, sharp looking interior.

I agree on the 50's Mopars HECK YES!

If I had a choice, I'd take a '58 Dodge Coronet.....-I'd LOVE to see one done!!!! Dump a say, 331 Hemi it and call it "good".....

Hopefully Revell is reading this! B)

I'd take anything more in 50's Mopar then what we currently got. even some mid to late 40's be nice too!

TRUCKS from Dodge in the 60's be EVEN better!

Thank you guys!

The resin interior isn't the best example ever, but it's okay.

It's probably a 20 year old Modelhaus tub, & back then he evidently hadn't worked out the "pin hole" problem completely.

Is looking really good.

As for post nr 85,i did see a 56 Desoto 2d ht with continetal kit this weekend,so low and sleek compared to the GM/Ford cars of the same year. It was white and pink,in other words screaming for some more classy colors :D
