Scott Colmer Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Howdy, This my first time posting here. I have been at this for about 40 years. Not this particular model, just building models in general. I has always been hotrods, race cars, and show rods. I am an uncontrolable scratchbuilder. This is my latest effort. It started as a challenge from another online modeler. It's about 6 months in and has gone few a couple design changes. Fabrication is just about through. Then the paint starts. Hope you like it so far.

Dragon7665 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 WOW Great looking Flat Speeder! I'm guessing a '56-57 Vette was your starting point for the body???
Scott Colmer Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 Glad you like it! Yes. It's a AMT 57 Vette body, narrowed and reshaped.
randx0 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Wow , I like that. a great concept and exquisite execution. I like the use of mostly vintage elements and how you brought it all together.

ismaelg Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 That's totally wicked! Enough of the Corvette lines to be subtle yet noticeable, but totally different at the same time. Love the layout as well. Exquisite and inspiring! By the way, Welcome to the forum Regards,
MrObsessive Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Welcome aboard! Now that is some totally excellent bodywork! If not for the side coves......I wouldn't have guessed you started with a '57 'Vette! Keep us posted on the progress................I like to see others who do insane work!
