Jeffcad Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 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. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed now that they look open . Gives me also ideas for next model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Againmikewins Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
