Before I take a 2 week-timeout (holidays) I will show you 2 other of my mid-80's builts: spraypainted from the can, trim brushed with silver enamel.

1957 Chevy (1/25 mpc) and 1966 Chevelle SS (1/24 Monogram):

They are both very nice.

Thanks, guys - they are built more or less out of the box.

Cool street machines! Especially love the chrome slotted wheels on the Chevelle. Well done.

Thank you Rusty, these are the kit wheels.

Wow, someone finally did something really different with a 57 Chevy!  For a box stock model, it looks like you put a lot of your own touches on it.  It is encouraging to see how good it looks when properly assembled. I have a mild glue bomb that is waiting in line but my intention is to build it as  57 post version of the Badman, with original Tom Daniels decals. I also plan to use the stripped 57 chassis from an MPC Slammer modified kit to upgrade the generic chassis that MPC used.  I'm thinking it might move up the list more quickly now!

Congratulations on a great model!

Cheers

Alan

Two nice looking street hustlers.  Great job on both. 

Thank you, Bob - it was a little different to my mostly stock builds.

Cool pair!  Reminds me of my early builds when I brush painted chrome trim.

Thanks, Hector, I still do some brush painting on chrome details.
