mr moto Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 I don't know how many of you are familiar with Blue Demon (El Demonio Azul) - a big star of Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling and also star of many low budget 60's/70's low budget films. In the films he usually saves the world by defeating monsters/aliens/gangsters/spies, etc. by using his Lucha skills. For some reason my twisted mind decided that AMT's 1957 Bird was just asking to be decked out in a Blue Demon mask. Almost everything in this build can be found in the box of the very early releases of the '57 Bird. The steering wheel is from a '59 Imperial and I can't think of anything else that's not out-of-the-box. Anyway, here it is!
jaymcminn Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Beautiful styling and immaculately executed. I love it!
Peter Lombardo Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Completely different, great paint, well done sir.
espo Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 While I know nothing of the character you describe, I do know a great paint job when I see one. I like how you reworked the front grill and roll pan. ,

NOBLNG Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 I love the paint job. I love how the light blue interior compliments the blue on the body. Absolutely superb work!
bobthehobbyguy Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Very cool. Well executed. The design suits the tbird.
mr moto Posted May 13, 2020 Author Posted May 13, 2020 Thank you, everybody, for all the great comments! Actually, it has a few glitches in the paint job that don't really show in the photos. It's a "social distancing" build - looks great from 6 feet away!
