1969 Cadillac Convertible

[Perspect Scale Modelworks]

This started as a Vic's Resin '69 Cadillac Coupe Deville. 

 

The goal was to make a replica of the owner's 1:1

 

The resin casting was pretty rough. Everything had to be massaged to get it to fit correctly. 

The paint is not exact. I used Tamiya Mica Red, which is metallic. The folded top is from 3dscaleparts. I printed the 26" Dub G.O.A.T rims from the King3d file. Side mirror is from LowriderScaleParts. The visors and headrests are printed from the parts file, not the parts box.  The grill I 3d "scratch built". Headlight covers are also scratch built from aluminum. Dash gauges are by BestModelCarParts. Bumpers are sprayed with Revell chrome.

Not perfect but the owner is pleased.

Thanks

The Cadillac owner must be overjoyed with a replica that looks so much like his real car!  Really nice job.   As proud as he is to have it, PLEASE let him know it isn't safe to be inside the car at a car show in hot weather.  I've seen toys and models tragically deform in the heat and sun.

Thanks David, and yes, he's been excited throughout the build process. And you make a great point. Thanks again.

Very well done. Excellent replica!  I can appreciate all of the work you put into creating this masterpiece of rolling art. That was a wild background in the video.

Thanks Steve. It did take a bit more effort than I expected. I enjoy making those IG Reels.

Thanks again.
