1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham

[Jeffcad]

Hi !

Here's my latest built. This is the Robert Burns's 1976 Fleetwood resin kit. I've painted her in Georgian Silver metallic with a dark blue scratchbuilt interior. A friend 3d printed for me the correct hubcaps for the year. I still have a few details to add such as a passenger mirror and some scripts on the body and roof but overall, she's done. Hope you'll like it.

This is an impressive build to me! Your interior looks excellent has well! I'm curious about that detailed hood ornament and the Cadillac emblem on the trunk lid; how did you do those so crisply?

[Jonathan]

Very nicely done!  My Granddad had a 1984 Fleetwood; your build really brings back the memories. 

[H.A.K]

Hi!.

Thank you!. Front crest is a photo etched metal part, bought on Ebay a couple of years ago. Trunk one is a water decal, also bought on ebay.

Hi Jonathan !

Thank you very much. I am glad my model brings you back to warmth places.

So well done Philippe! I noticed the partially open windows gave it a more realistic look too. I may have to try that sometime on one of my builds.

Hi , thank you very much. Windows are completely closed. It's the shadow of the roof frame on the clear plastic sheet. I noticed now that they look open . Gives me also ideas for next model.

What a great build of a huge automobile. Looks great in silver and the hubcaps are a very nice detail.

I love this build! Where did you source the interior and chassis parts from? He never seemed to have either available when I was shopping his products.

Hi Michael.

Thanks!. I have scratch built parts for the interior myself. I've made a resin copy of a 1976 Eldorado dash from JoHan since they were all the same these years, and created door panels with styrene sheets. Seats have been 3d printed by a friend. And the chassis is also from a JoHan Cadillac. Lots of modification to feet the wheelbase to the Fleetwood one though. I wish his kits to be more complete but I won't complaint since nobody ever did this Cadillac before, especially with such great proportions overall.
