Blasphemi 1955 Chevy Gasser - Monogram 1:24

[Technics]

 

Model - Blasphemi 1955 Chevy Gasser - A Roadkill Motor Trend Inspired Build - Monogram 1:24

An intimidating project as it was the second model I "cut" into first being the Lancia Stratos with the GP Modelling transkit.

 

Modifications - 

Exterior Trim removed

Plenty sanding, trimming, and hacking throughout

Clamshell created by fusing hood to fenders and cutting it out

Firewall from Styrene ( A first to scratch build something )

Stance quite a lot of work to get it to sit the way it does

Hemi Motor and Radiator from Ghostman 3D Parts fused to stock transmission

 

Pros

Probably my most difficult project this far, even if its less detailed then others.

Really happy with overall feeling, the roof finish, the soot, tire texture, the stance.

First time creating a stencil via a cricut plotter and making a mask for the side.

Weird quirk that worked out nicely - tennis balls from cotton swabs.

 

Cons

Could be significantly more detailed wiring, plumbing , etc. 

Could  have a more shaded and varied body finish.

Some trim remains

Not perfect fit clamshell

Great looking build of Mike Finnegan's famous 55 Chevy Gasser Blasphemi.

Nice.

The tennis balls just make it whatever color paint you used they look like the real thing

Looks fantastic!

Really nice workmanship on the bodywork and firewall! Keep up the great scratch building.  You are on your way to being a force to be reckoned with!  Very accurate depiction of Finnegan’s car. -Mark

Came out great! Looks just as cool as Mikes 1:1! What’s the box for?

@Mattilacken Storage and transport! I can´t look at my finished projects  I have no display of any kind. Tired seeing it, only see mistakes and things I could have done instead, etc. ( I have a problem ) Open it and enjoy with a coffee every 12 months  

@ybsluos @PappyD340 @M W Elky @Zippi @ChrisR  Thanks everyone!
