Steamboat Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Very nice. Lots of small details everywhere I look. Is it 1/16 scale? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernurd Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Beautiful. How did you do the headlight grills? Thank you! To make the headlight grilles, I used the mesh from a strainer from the dollar store. Super glued the cross hatch first, then cut it out and shaped it over the back of a spoon. Not perfect scale but it will do for now. Built this over a year ago. When I build the 55 Corvette I will look for a finer mesh and bigger headlights.

Yeah Nah Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Nice original Vette. Creative stuff on the headlight mesh. Big improvement over the molded clear plastic ones that come with the kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
