1965 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe Coupe

[Falcon Ranchero]

By the way, the model's coming along nicely; very interested in how it'll turn out. 

I have a '66 Chevelle kit waiting in the wings, so I may or may not consider converting it to Beaumont status; seems that the grille would be the trickiest thing to alter; my dad works at a print shop so I could get decals and what not printed out. But we'll see... This thread is extremely inspiring ?

A '66 Beaumont grille is in the wings, a member of my model car club wants me to make one for him too!

I appreciate that Brian. Stay tuned!

Here's an update on the grille. I threw some textures on for aesthetics too!

Now that the front fascia is just about finished, I've decided to start on the rims. I'm going for the style of Sport Deluxe Full Wheel Discs on 14"x7" steel rims.

The wheel front is almost done! I've decided to make the spinner a separate piece like it is on the real car. It will make painting easier.

Here's my attempt at a rendering. I'm not the best at it but I'm learning!
