Mr.Zombie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Another one that I show because of my current Cadillac craze. I built it about 10-12 years ago, can not recall exactly when it was anymore, I know that I got it from a friend for cheap, and that it was my first attempt to build something shiny. I suck at painting clean surfaces, so this is no exception, it is "OKAY" but I could be way better. It does not really match the original car, because at the time I built it I had no Internet, and I built it while watching Ghostbusters on... Video. I dug it out few days ago out of my display closet, polished it again, freshened it up a tiny bit, and there you go. I think it is too dull, kind of... Dead. I found more than few spots where I'd do something different today. The Lights are not touched, I'd have them frenched and built from scratch now, I would do some more interior, despite you don't see much anyhow, I'd add some details, and I would not loose one of the taillights... It was also my first BMFed thing. Kind of dumb to BMF a '59 Cadillac without any experience with this medium... That is why I ordered another one that will be built to match the real Ecto that is standin' around at Universal Pictures, all dirty rusty and lost. Nevertheless, since I made this pics today, no reason to hide it. Especially even if you recall that it was built ages ago, it still a quite clean built and it still features some nice detail here and there. So yeah... Enjoy. Edited March 11, 2011 by Mr.Zombie
Chris C Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Mate, I reckon you're being a bit hard on yourself! Looks tops to me! Nice job, I'd say.
Mr.Zombie Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 Nah... Look at the flashbar, just painted, today I'd make it from scratch. Or the headlights, horrible to not cut 'em out. Or the tailfins, and how the red is bleeding out. Not good. Especially when you see how I build today... This is a current work in progress: You understand what I mean?
Chris C Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Nice truck! Still, the Ecto is a good looking model. At the very least it's good to see how you improve with each model. Start being critical when things don't improve Onwards and upwards!
David G. Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I would love a chance to build one of these, yours came out nicely. David G.
Greg Pugh Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 That thing is awesome! I think you did a GREAT job!!
Custom Hearse Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I think it looks great! You did an excellent job on it
