Started a new project for NNL East, a 50 Cadillac Custom from Modelhaus. Man this thing is BIG..

Trying to get better at laying down some smoother paint so I polished out the primer before paint.

It worked out great, but still needs to be wet-sanded and polished.

The wheels for this project are undecided at this time, but i have some ideas..

What do you think?

I like wheel #4 with wheel #3 a close second. Are those reverse rims (wheel #2) the Modelhaus ones? They are real sweet... just not right for that tail draggin' behemoth!

This should be a great build. Looking forward to it.

Here's an illustration I did a while ago. So I guess you know which wheels I vote for! :P

Some answers for you guys..

"What chassis are you going to put under that bohemoth?!"

This kit is only a curbside so it comes with a fuul pan that glues up under it nicely.

"is that front bumper stock or custom?"

I didn't but the bumper on it yet, thats the side of the grill you see in the pics.

"Are those reverse rims (wheel #2) the Modelhaus ones?'

Yes they are the chrome rev. with the seperate spider caps. Makes it easier to paint the centers.

"Man how many gallons of paint did you use. "

1 1/2 cans of Testors Fiery Orange and a whole can of Black Gold HoK Kandy Spanish Gold.

harrypri thats a really nice illustration you did. BTW Modelhaus also has a 49 Cadi Fastback custom to build that..

#4...... can u show a pic with the bumpers on?

Posted

That is gonna be bitchin' when it's finished!!! I really like wheel #2, gives it that old school kustom feel!!!

Posted

That is a sweet Coupe de Ville. I love the old Caddies... I wish the Modelhaus or someone would tool up a 1:25th '71-76 Coupe de Ville, the last of the huge Caddies.

Posted

I'm gettin that Cad., but probably the stock one. Yours looks great ,but the hood looks strange to me. Don't have an opinion on the wheels. And Harry's a great illustrator{spelling] , don't you all agree. B)

Posted

Well I wet -sanded and polished as much as i could till i was afraid to go threw the paint.

Still need to foil and wax this beast out, glad i bought more foil...

The wheels are going to the billets from the Rivera kit on one side and the steelies on the other.

It gives it to different styles on one car..

Yea The hood is kinda pointy but i sanded mine down some to take some of the pointiness out of it.

Interior is almost done still got some small details to do yet.

Thaks for all your help.

Wow this thing is big, it used up 3/4 of a sheet of BM foil..

Its really turning out kool looking.

IMG_2095.jpg

These are the wheels that are going to be on the whole car.

They have been sitting on my bench for 2yrs now waiting for the right project and this is it.

It should be done before next weekend so watch for it Under Glass.
