'48 Chevy........sassy grass green

[bluemoose]

Here's a box stock version of the Galaxie '48 Chevy I built around the time the kit first came out. Just now got around to shooting some outdoor photos. The paint is Sassy Grass Green from Model Car World.

WOW, now that is one fine lookin 48 Chevy Tom. Great job on it. Love the color. I have the car and the sedan delivery to build one of these days. I hope that mine looks half as good as your's does. Dan

P.S. What did you do to get it to set down? I like the way it sets.

For this type of car I ain't that big on the color, but all else is excellent....Nice work.

[Raul_Perez]

Very Nice Paint Job!

CHEERS!

[MonoPed]

I really like this one... No I want one of these kits...lol!

[Foxer]

I LIKE this green on it! And, the application is fantastic.. what a shine!

P.S. What did you do to get it to set down? I like the way it sets.

Thnaks Dan, I can't remember this part of the build, but looking at the suspension, I think I just mounted the spindles upside down. The rear is probably just stock ride height.

[Harry P.]

Not a fan of that color on this car (or on any car!)... but you sure did a heck of a nice job with the paint!

[crazyjim]

Fine looking build.

[Bernard Kron]

Another immaculate OOB build. You really have this down. And you always select the right kits for your style. I really must get myself this kit. It demands to be built out-of-the-box because it's so beautifully engineered and executed. You really did it justice! Thanx (as always) for sharing your talent with us. And I actually like the green - it's appropriate for the era and style of the car.

Nice glassy looking paint job! Too bad it is GREEN! (I have been told that I don't see green the way it is supposed to be, especialy by my wife, who loves the colour!)

[jimnohio]

Wowzer...that's GREEN! Very cool build there. I love the color!

[W-409]

Wow, that's awesome! What a paintjob! Engine looks very good. Was that kit good or bad? I have to buy it someday, this may be only model kit from '48 Chevy...?

[nails3825]

Your photo skills are just as good as your modeling skills! And they are both far better than any of my skills... but I do make a good pot of coffee. So much to learn Thanks for posting such an inspiration, it's an incredible job that makes you say "WOW"

[David G.]

Holy Moly! That definitely makes a statement. Excellent paintwork.

[bluemoose]

Was that kit good or bad?

Thanks W-409! I think it's an excellent kit. The engineering is different than any kit I've built before or since, which I found refreshing. Only disappointment was the lack of three dimensional side trim moldings.

[beefheart22]

What's the word I'm looking for... WOW!

[MikeMc]

Well done job on a great kit

btw Tom......someone swiped your gas cap!!!

[dimaxion]
