rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Realistic with the miss mash of different body panels. Hot stance. Super!
'70 Grande Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Very nice build with incredible paint finishes; please share how you achieved that look to the paint on the trunk lid and over most all of the body... (I don't need to know about that Blue front fender because that's the one painted area I think I know how you got the finish)!
James2 Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 James, incredible job with the detailing on this Chevy. From the rust to the worn paint, to the stitching on the seats and all the other subtle touches. The thing I noticed first was how you lapped the window trim so as to look like the 1:1 pieces. You should be proud to display this one, Great Job.
ColonelKrypton Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Very nicely done. The 62 to 65 Nova and Chevy II's are my favourite of these cars. The weathering is spot on. Makes it look very realistic as a well used back yard budget match racer. cheers, Graham
espo Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Like the rustic body finish. Great looking engine and stance.
Hi-Po Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Very nice! Your weathering is spot on and very realistic. Job well done.
Calb56 Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Very subtle and understated...yet such fine details. Great lil' drag strip car.
TransAmMike Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Perfect, great replica of a weekend racers drag car.?
karbuildr Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Excellent build, the weathering is so realistic, very well done.
XYHARRY Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Neat Gasser and just the right amount of patina. Well done James. Cheers, David. ??
atomicholiday Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Your weathering is very convincing. Great looking build all around.
papajohn97 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 This is the most interesting execution of this kit that I’ve seen. You’ve mastered the fine art of scale model weathering (“less is more”!). This build is so good I wanna copy it! The good old days of shoe-string back-yard built racers with day-jobs drag racing. All that’s missing are some wheelie bars made out of stolen shopping cart parts! Love it!
thatz4u Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) looks like the real thing, great job Edited July 16, 2023 by thatz4u
Rattlecan Dan Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Spot On! Beautiful realism and attention to detail. Great work.
carrucha Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Neat build. Good weathering job. Very realistic and not over the top.
ncbuckeye67 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 That is a masterpiece in weathering! Not to mention build quality and execution. It takes way more effort to produce a "patina effect", than a nice shiny paint job (probably why I haven't attempted one,lol).
TarheelRick Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Can't add much to the compliments already stated. I really like this build, it is just so realistic in so many ways. This is some expert craftsmanship. The only thing I see missing is a SEGA sticker on the side. This car would fit right in with that organization.
