Jordan White Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Hey, I'm Jordan, and I'm a noob (to the site, not to model building ) I built up the 1/12th Bel Air over the summer (right now I'm at college, so no building!) Figured I could show it off. Basically 3 coats Testors yellow spray, wheels painted like the charcoal American Racing TTD's (even though they are Cragar S/S), brake and fuel lines from solder wire, custom exhaust with shortened mufflers (as other builders of this know the stock mufflers are twice as long) and belts made from rubber bands. This was my first big boy, and it was a blast because of the detail I could incorporate. I may have gone a bit overboard with the yellow parts, but I tried to get a sort of black and yellow theme going, like a street rod. Anyways some pictures. Hope you enjoy it!

old-hermit Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Very nice, clean build. Good detailing on your first biggie. Hope there are more planned for the future.
Jordan White Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 I'll mostly be sticking with the smaller guys, due to lack of shelf space, but it would be nice to do at least one more!
Hemi Killer Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I'll mostly be sticking with the smaller guys, due to lack of shelf space, but it would be nice to do at least one more! I have an old built kit and a brand new one i got from ebay. I'll be building this car soon, bone stock from the showroom, but with as much detail as i can get into it. im building it for my dad.
Jordan White Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 It's a great kit and very detailed right out of the box, have fun building it!
karbuildr Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Very nice 57. I've got a Revell 1/12 69 Camaro to get started on as soon as the weather warms up enough to paint in my garage.
stump Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 That's just kool.... Love the colour you chose, and the black adds great contrast. Two big thumbs up from me.
