Andria H Posted June 17 Posted June 17 This is the venerable Monogram kit in its latest reissue from Revell. The hardtop was warped so I cut the doors down to factory half hard doors and built it "al fresco". The Golden Eagle decals are reserved for a '79 J10 pickup build. I built it with a sealed hood due to issues with the hinge and with the appearance of the engine bay. Bumpers are scratchbuilt basswood planks stained in a Spanish Oak finish. Paint is GM Corporate Blue engine block paint for the Levi bits (copper Sharpie for the rivets) and Rust-oleum Black Knight Metallic for the remainder. I used chalk pastel dust for light weathering. 6
spencer1984 Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Nice touch with the bumpers, and yeah - that engine bay is a little rough. Cool build! 1
stavanzer Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I like it. I drove a '79 CJ-5 for about 4 years in the late 1980's. I loved it. You have certainly done it justice. 1
