CometMan Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Very nice, Nick! After the initial excitement of this kit wore off we haven't seen that many built, and very few in the Pace Car livery! It's nice to see one.
Intmd8r Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Great looking build – love these old Oldsmobiles! I find the figure a little terrifying tho – is this the pre painted figure by Revell?
nicknkim14 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Posted June 24, 2016 Thanks for the compliments...yes that figure came with the kit..
Kmb0319 Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Great looking build – love these old Oldsmobiles! I find the figure a little terrifying tho – is this the pre painted figure by Revell?ly When I posted my build of this kit back in January, I said the same thing. (didn't do mine as a pace car, just a Bahama blue 442) Now, I find any model people to be a little creepy.. they just can't look real enough to my eyes.. although I've seen people post diorama builds with mechanics or something that can make a model look amazing if you can't really see the faces of the figures. BUT... this particular figure of one of racing's most beautiful women in history is... how do I say it.... particularly off-putting. It's pre-painted in the box... maybe someone who does occasionally use figures with their builds could do this up better than the pre-painted version, but it frightened me. I put an extra rubber band on it and threw it away, but took it straight to the outside garbage...
Kmb0319 Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Now, oops... hijacked the thread... Nick, this build is awesome!!! You're making me want to go buy another one and build it as the pace car. It's a great kit, but you really executed it perfectly.
mustang1989 Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 That's a good lookin' replication there. Thumbs up!
W-Machine Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 That kit is probably THE best Oldsmobile kit ever released, and your build really looks great!
bbowser Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Looks great! I agree the figure is a little creepy, but then maybe by now she's a zombie?
