JayVee Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Here are some photos of this recently finished '57. This was a really well-designed kit to work with:
Hillbilly Deluxe Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 John You do beautiful work!!! John
Luis Ayala Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Looks GREAT !!!!! :shock: :shock: Outstanding Job JayVee...
lambertjr Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 The paint job is outstanding. I'm new to car building so forgive my ignorance, are the flames airbrush?
Mr. Metallic Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I've looked at this build before Jayvee, but i only just realized that it's based on the new tool '57. I saw the old tool blower setup and just assumed the whole thing was the old tool. I only realized it when you said it was a well engineered kit. Upon closer inspection I found the truth. Shame on me. Very nice build, as always!

Shame on me. Very nice build, as always! Thanks! I always thought that blower setup looked outrageous and it seemed like the right thing to add to the newer tooled kit. I've heard it said that the older kit has more accurate body lines, but the newer kit goes together beautifully and it has a lot of detail parts under the hood (most of which I didn't use)!
Ariel Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 really nice like what you did with the flames.
Mad Slammer Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Really nice looking build Jay Vee. I'm thinking of starting to work on mine again. Nice job. . . 8)

bsoder Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 John..OUTSTANDING!!..I'm starting a build of the old AMT PRO SHOP '57 for the Feb. 32-57 theme NNL W of course this kit only has stock parts so...a lot of digging through my "parts" boxes to build it the way I want it to look 8) .....B
87 Grand Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Outstanding build. Everything is just so perfect. Love the flames. You really have an eye for clean and detailed builds. Job well done. My hats off to your sir.

Olle F Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 This definitely wins the prize for "Oldest Post Brought Back From the Dead"... I'm glad the thread was resurrected though, haven't seen this one before. I just have to agree with the rest of you guys, this is a beautiful model and that paint job is outstanding!
cruz Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Really cool build, nice and clean. Love the engine details and chassis use of colors!!!
Dr. Cranky Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I agree, totally elegant and super executed. Fabulous!
