Darren B Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 I have never posted any works here yet, but just got this one done in time to win a local contest in my area with it. I hate to build for just for model contest cause Im a slow builder and it makes it hard to hit the deadline.
RodneyBad Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Great looking Olds. Paint and Engine looks Great. Nice base, Sandstone?
Wolf75 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 The details are amazing!I especially love the numbers on the radiator hose. I'm gonna have to start doing that.
montelsc Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 A few more pics... nice olds alot of detail under the hood looks hot!!!
Doubleought Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Wow, so clean looking, even caught myself looking for the keys. Love the wheels and tires.
davyou5 Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Excellent Build!!!... Great details!!!... It's good to see a Hurst out here .
Darren B Posted November 22, 2010 Author Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) thank you all for all your complements, its actually the first muscle car I have ever built and only did it for a contest and it won first place out of 21 other cars. You have to build this kit, it just fell together on the building side. Not one problem putting it together, and the lettering on the hose comes with the decal sheet with the kit, i highly recommend this kit if your into old muscle cars.

chris731 Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 This is a great looking car. The details are excellent. I'm a slow builder myself, but that slowness always pays off in the end. Again, nice job.
MyBradKeselowski Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 OMG ! ! ! WOW ! ! ! Beautiful, smells factory fresh
meaneyme Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 This is a very nice job you did on this terrific kit, I remember one being posted recently, thought it was by Cruz or someone? Looks exactly the same. I actually purchased two kits after I saw it.
superdog Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Beautiful work,I really like how you slightly weathed the engine bay,did you drybrush or use chalks ? very very realistic..Todd
Darren B Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 Beautiful work,I really like how you slightly weathed the engine bay,did you drybrush or use chalks ? very very realistic..Todd I did dry brush the fender wells and most of everything else with just a light grey and for the hoses I used some weathering chalks fro Doc Obriens from Micro Mark.
Chuck Most Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 A piece of advice- NEVER build for contests! It sucks all the fun out of it! At least it would for me. That aside, love the model!
Darren B Posted November 25, 2010 Author Posted November 25, 2010 A piece of advice- NEVER build for contests! It sucks all the fun out of it! At least it would for me. That aside, love the model! I know what you mean about that, the body took three dunks in brake fluid as I had so much problems with it, and that was just a start. I usually don't build for contest because of that fact but this one had a cool prize with winning.

W-409 Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 That's nice! That paintjob looks awesome and it looks very realistic. Engine detailing looks very cool, there are lots of very nice details. Interior looks very good also, that Hot Rod magazine is perfect detail to there. Awesome, this is one "must have" kit.
Darren B Posted November 25, 2010 Author Posted November 25, 2010 The keys to a Hurst/Olds? Gift certificate to the LHS which with the price of model supplies comes in handy. I wish the keys to the real thing now that would keep me building 24/7 to win

Thank you, yes the kit is really a great kit, i want to get a few more because it really just fell together, most kits are a fight at the end especially to get the body on the bottom half but even on this one was no trouble at all. I highly recommend this kit!!! Nice build ill make a lowrider out of one of the kits. Very, very, nice thank you Great looking Olds. Paint and Engine looks Great. Nice base, Sandstone? Thank you. Actually i think its flag stone, by my pond out by the front door.
bsoder Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Well seeing how good this turned out ...what do you usually build !!
Darren B Posted November 26, 2010 Author Posted November 26, 2010 Well seeing how good this turned out ...what do you usually build !! I usually build lowriders. Then when i get bored do some military or sci fi builds, but first and for most lowriders because of the extra detail that goes into them, heres my latest lowrider. Acura Lowrider
David G. Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Excellent work! Detail, paint, everything came together just right.
