Great color. You really nailed this one. Sleeper indeed!

Super nice looking Nova Craig, very realistic looking and great job with the craft paints?

Excellent! ?

Just a perfect blend of modern and vintage. Great job on color choices and build! And is that a Muncie Rock Crusher I see?

Very nice ! Paint is excellent and the subtle weathering on the chassis is perfect.  Nice all around.

That is so cool and very well done! When I was a kid, my mom had a beauty shop which was located in the bottom of our house. One of the old ladies who came to get her hair done had a frost green Nova in this style. Her's had a black vinyl top and was maybe a 307 at best, but I always thought it would make a great sleeper. There was another customer that had a '70- '72 style Nova 4 door in black with either a 3 or 4 speed floor shift from the factory. I can't remember if it was a 6 or a small V8, but it was definitely weird and cool at the same time.

Awesome build and the color looks great on it. Super clean and beautiful photos.

Green on green is my favourite combo.  Good tires and wheels really elevate the build. It looks amazing!

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

How do you thin the craft paint?  I assume it is acrylic based. No matter, it looks beautiful. Great detail as well.

Thanks! I use a homebrew thinner, and the craft paint is water-based acrylic. I actually have a Youtube video I just recently posted showing the thinner recipe I use, how I thin the paint, and how I spray it.

Love the green. It would be the perfect shade for a 60s station wagon im working on. Any other company make a similar color in a rattle can form?

Thanks, It's a custom mix of craft paints, but I think MCW and Gravity Colors Spain have the correct factory mix although they're for an airbrush. To my knowledge nobody makes a spray can in anything close to that color.

Beautiful car. I’m not familiar with this kit was the fuel fill tube part of the kit or did you add that. It’s a nice detail if you added that yourself.

Thanks! The fuel fill tube is molded into the chassis, I just highlighted it with some paint. It is a very well done and detailed kit!

Thanks guys! I'm not sure on the Transmission, I'm not very good at distinguishing those kinds of things, lol.
