65´Chevy El Camino 1/25 AMT

[Fairfax]

Hello, everyone. Older very simple kit. The body is a little deformed from the production. I refilled the rearview mirrors. Inside from the beer tin and side from the junkyard. The decals on the hood are from another Chevelle plastic kit.

Love it

That buff below the driver's side mirror will rust out.  =)

Looks great, awesome job on weathering, well done!!

[Darbo]

Fantastic!

[James2]

Nicely, but not over done. Very believable...

[Classicgas]

Very convincing. Well done!

[bill lanfear]

Very nice!

Very realistic weathering on the paint finish. A 1:1 El Camino like this would have an interesting story to tell about its life on the road. 

[Koellefornia Kid]

Awesome work! Very convincing!

[Fairfax]

Thank you all guys for making nice comments.

For Russell: If you mean the side rearview mirror holder and the varnish underneath, you're right, I agree, that's where it would want to make rust. Thank. :-)

[RAMBENNA]

awesome, fabulous detail

[ChrisR]

Looks nice!

[TarheelRick]

A bit of TLC and this one may be salvageable.  That is some very convincing weathering, excellent job.  Those year Chevelles tended to rust quite readily.

[Fairfax]

Thank you so much for the nice sentences, guys.

Very nice looking ride, love the weathering work, very convincing!

Having lived in Chicago at this time.  I remember there being only 3 kinds of cars on the road.

1.  New cars

2. Rusted cars

3. Cars with accident damage

Yours is a very convincing replica of what was common for the upper Midwest at that time.

Pretty cool. Nice weathering!

Incredible workmanship!  You use the AK Interactive Extreme Weathered Vehicles book?

[DumpyDan]

That is nice, very well done.  I can look at the pics over and over.

[Daxman]

Amazing work, I love it!!

Thank you Kurt R. Womack. I don't even use this book yet. But in time, I'll probably have to. Meanwhile, I'm at a stage where I'm frantically building and relegating my studies to later, and I know I should be doing it the other way around. Meanwhile, I'm only taking inspiration from Internet photos. Thank you for the recommendation, I'll be interested in the book. :-)

Thank you all so much for nice sentences and encouragement! :-)

Nice beater look, almost hard to believe it's plastic.
