Peter Lombardo Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Completed this a few weeks ago……Revell 1956 Chevrolet Nomad Wagon. Top is chopped, doors are opened and hinged and the windshield is laid back. Front bucket seats are beautiful resin seats I was sent by Crazy Jim (Jim Stepanek). He does some absolutely beautiful resin pieces….I got these great looking seats, some beautiful Mag. Wheels and really sharp looking disk brakes….check out his web site at….Crazy Scale Auto Parts. Anyway, I added a Corvette manifold and head shrouds to the basic Chevy 283 from the kit. The rear view mirrors are from a Corvette, and just for the record, the hood fits like dog junk…I was really surprised at how Revell engineered it. The paint is Model Master Acryl Napoleonic Violet and Camouflage Gray, sanded and clear coated…and lots of Bare Metal Foil.

mikemodeler Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Very Nice there Peter! I like the colors and the details. I am holding off on any more tri-fives until the feeling comes back to my hands after the last two '57s and the BMF experience!
Dr. Cranky Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Peter, you've outdone yourself with this vehicle. It's GORGEOUS, and if I can give you my professional opinion on this one, please . . . two requests, really, more than opinions. #1 You NEED to enter this model in the REVELL/GEARZ National Competiton. #2 This baby needs a round of glamor pictures. What an amazing build! You've got EYEGORE running around looking for his fire hydrant. WOW.
VEGADETH Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 AWESOME BUILD!!!!!!,,PETER!!!,,YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THIS 1!!!!....................John.
charlie8575 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Another masterful build, Peter. And a very tasteful color combination. It was truly a pleasure to meet you at NNL and see your gorgeous work up-close and personal. Charlie Larkin
