da_ashman Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Hey Guys I always wanted to build a newer version of Eleanor, to sit along side the 69 Eleanor. I started with Revells kit, threw the tires & wheels in the bin & went from there. Everythings scratchbuilt, only aftermarket item used were the hood pins. Big tanks to David Thibodeau for the Youtube build of the 69 Eleanor, I used his tip on masking stripes for this build, Pretty happy with how it came out overall. Cheers for looking Ash 1
Belugawrx Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 That's a BEAUTY!! It's a Ford, but it's a nice one...lol How were the flares accomplished? Cheers
KWT Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Very nicely done! I'm going to have to check out the video, too. Edited March 15, 2018 by KWT
donb Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Very cool car and the backgrounds are pretty cool too. Nice work.
stevehansen Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Excellent, that's the way a Mustang should look
FabbricaP Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Cool build! It'll look great next to the '69 you're building

Cheers Cheers Everyone! Belugawrx - I made template for the shape on the computer & cut them out of vinyl, applied that to 1.5mm styrene & cut out, then just added a couple of spacers on the body & glued the cut styrene flare on & putty, sand & repeat till I was happy. Sadly there no aftermarket products for this mustang, except for Plamoz's 2012 update set. Forgot to mention, body is painted Zero Paints 'Pepper Grey' or Eleanor grey & i printed my own decals for the side stripes because Revell only give you white or Silver. Cheers again everyone! Ash
89AKurt Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Well done, and I really like the setting you photographed in, good eye.
Filthysanches Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH dude, you murdered this one. I want to do an Eleanor now
