Hendrix resin, painted with Alclad II copper. A challenging project as the mistakes in the promo were reproduced in the resin, most of which I was able to more or less correct. There were a few parts that were missing or too bad to use so I designed them in Sketchup and 3d printed them, as the headlight rims with the spears, instrument panel, taillights and tires. See it at the 2023 ACME Southern NNL on Oct 28th.

Nice Desoto. Don't see many of them. Well done. 

[happy grumpy]

You did an awesome job on a really interesting subject. That color looks like it belongs to this car. Thanks for sharing this little gem.

[John E. Bowers Jr.]

Very well done!

[gman]

She's pretty. You have great taste in picking an off-the-beaten path subject and bringing it home with a tasteful color palette, not to mention some serious skills.

[karbuildr]

Very nicely done. Great two tone finish.

[PappyD340]

Beautifully done!

[Street Rod]

Beautifully done! Looks very stately in this color combo.

Beautiful job! I wish Moebius would tweak the 300 tooling to give us a proper ‘55 DeSoto kit. These cars are so under appreciated. I love the color scheme you went with

Best eye candy ? of the week!

[bobthehobbyguy]

Nicely done. This is the true beauty of 3d printing which opens up a wide range of cars that we'd not see otherwise.

[slusher]

Beautiful model!

[ncbuckeye67]

That is beautiful! I love to see cars that were never produced in kit form.

[Pico]

Thanks for all the compliments! Don't miss it at the 2023 ACME NNL on Oct 28th, along with (we hope) 800 other car models.  Check out the links I have posted.
