voljeepx Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Hey everybody! This is my just completed Eliminator from Monogram. I just love this car, I guess growin' up in the '80's you couldn't help but see this car on MTV all the time! Testors Italian Red was used on the exterior with Tamiya clear, four coats of each. The interior was done in Humbrol leather, with craft ribbon used for the cloth pieces. Flocked carpeting, removal of old stock exhaust, dechroming of some parts, and installation of distributor and wires were a few of the things I did to this car. For more info and build pictures, see the Tv and Movie community build in the build section (thanks Nick). I present to you: THE ELIMINATOR!!! Thanks for checkin' her out, and please, comments and criticisms are always welcome!
Nick Winter Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Looks great, If you wouldn't mind though posting your finished pictures in the UnderGlass that I'm going to make, that would be great.
vizio93 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Nice job man !!! I love ZZ top and the car even more. You did a good job recreating the 1:1. I always love these "sharp dressed" builds :lol:
Railfreak78 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Real clean build. I just saw ZZ Top here earlier this year and they showed the old music videos behind the guys. Really sharp car and a really sharp build!
Albert Moore Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Hi Ed, That is a sharp looking Eliminator! Nice job on the finish. This model is a trip down memory lane for me as well. I built it myself as a kid, but it was nowhere near the quality of your model. And the videos! Not only was ZZ Tops's music kick arse, but the videos! I remember them quite well (what adolescent male who was coming of age at that time wasn't oogling the hot babes getting in and out of the car in the vids ). Thanks for the bit 'o nostalgia in regards to your model and again, great job. Cheers, Albert Edited December 15, 2009 by Albert Moore
MyBradKeselowski Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Super looking build!!! :rolleyes: Looks very close to the 1:1. I can now hear Sharped Dressed Man coming out of the window...
