Billet Style Grill

Any suggestions on how to replicate this grill for a '69 Caddy in 1/25 scale?

theres some 3d phantom grilles for the late 60s chevy trucks that would cut down to fit

Ive got this from a junk box - it is about 60mm wide and 12mm high,  If you can use it it yours.

You may get lucky and find a Model Car Garage photo etched detail set for a different vehicle that is large enough to fill the Caddy grill opening.

There is also generic, which may be of use.

Thanks guys! 

Sean, thanks but I don't think that would fit without quite a bit of modification. 

I did download a file for an RC Blazer billet grill by TLW3D on Cults3d. I modified the file;

I just need to print it and hope it fits and looks good. 

If this doesn't work, Mr. Model may be an option.

I watched this video. Takes a little bit of work but looks great.

I kinda make mine like in the video but I use then sheet plastic rough cut to shape, stacked with each second piece set in slightly then sand it to final shape.

Thanks for the video Jim. I'll give that a try at some point. The results look great.

In the meantime, I was able to print out something useful. Editing the TLW3D file didn't work too well.

So I "scratch built" my own 3d file and came up with this,

With a little sanding it will fit into the grill shell.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I think this will work.
