1963 Nova Wagon For Sale

[mchook]

I built this for a local 1:1 car club that is raffling off a bunch of stuff to raise money at their show this Sunday. Just a quick build, nothing fancy but I think it should do ok. I did one for them last year and a lot of people seemed to like it. It was a little different, a 64 Galaxie that was half restored and half junk, I called it "before & after".

Awesome looking wagon, great weathering,  the original fender is a nice touch. Hopefully it raises some funds for the club.👍👍

Incredible weathering Mark! You are a downright artist

[Supernurd]

Superb.  👍 

[Falcon Ranchero]

That is way cool

Wow, one of the nicest weathering I have seen! I really like the idea of a replaced fender and hood. Gives a whole lot more realism to the model. Well done!

[TransAmMike]

[Dragline]

Convincing weathering and subtle touches. What a prize.

[Jim B]

Really well done.  Great job.

That was the first thing I noticed when I saw this awesome build yesterday. I was holding off to see how long it took someone to recognise that number ( hahaha ).

IMO, a more arcane reference would've been "UNiversity-75309" or some other central office exchange prefixed number.

I love it when model builders pay attention to how a real car weathers, rather than just slopping rust all over it.  The phone number made me laugh - a favourite Carpenter's song of mine!  I also like that you wrote the For Sale sign neatly - not everyone scrawls it on - some people actually have neat handwriting!

Cheers

Awesome weathering - you could do a WIP just on weathering and it would be viewed regularly!  Great job.

This whole time I was under the impression that it was by Iron Maiden !

Cool wagon! Thats some great weathering. I respect guy's that can pull this off as well as you have. I myself have never tried doing it and probably never will as there are enough guy's doing it that I don't have to. Awsome build! 

[alan barton]

Oooops, my bad, I was thinking of Beechwood 4-57891

 

Apparently the other song was done by Tommy Tutone, according to google!

Thats why Is tick to building modle cars - I know squat about music!

Cheers
