Pico Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 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.

gman Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moparmike619 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
