Plowboy Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I built this a few years ago. It's just a simple curbside build. The inspiration came from the Brad Leisure box art. For some reason, it really grabbed my attention. I used all of the custom pieces in the box. Up front, it was missing something. So, I added a molded in front bumper and gave the grille a more V shape. The kit I used didn't have wide whitewalls. So, I sourced those from another kit. I made dual antennas from wire and the bases from a '64 Impala. Although I liked the boxart, I wanted to choose my own colors and add scallops. The lower body got Tamiya Lime Pearl with Testors White Lightning scallops. The roof got Testors White Lightning with Lime Pearl scallops. The interior was painted flat white and Model Masters Green Go. The dash got Lime Pearl. Thanx for checking it out!
Dave Darby Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I like it. Definitely has the box art vibes.
BigTallDad Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Very different! That scoop (or is it a cowl?) on the trunk suggests the engine is in the rear.
TooOld Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Very cool ! Love the paint work and the changes you've made to the front .
bbowser Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 I normally don't care for these type of customs but this one really grabbed me,great work!
Jonathan Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 You've heard of Buck Rogers, now meet Buick Roger! Beautiful work! I think it's one of the coolest interpretations of this kit I've seen in a long time.
Sledsel Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 I just bought this kit and plan on doing a custom. I like what you did with the front too. Very nice
