kenlwest Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I finally started a Photobucket account, so please forgive me if it doesn't work the first time. This is a 1/32 Scale 1909 Cadillac Model 30. It was made by Pyro in the 60's, then re-released by Life-Like. This is the Like-Like version. The only thing I did other than straight out of the box is replaced the glass with thin plastic. Ken
Dragline Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Tough kit to make look good never mind great. That's just what you did. NICE Bob
charlie8575 Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I love brass cars and have most of the Pyro/Life-Like kits. You did a great job with that. Very nice detailing. Charlie Larkin
RodneyBad Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 For something soo Tiny, Ya did a Great job on it. Nice work.
Modelmartin Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Nice Job! I like your color choices. They are very "period." Too bad Life-Like decided to make it less life-like by subbing gold plastic for the brass plating that Pyro put in the kits. I also have the set of Pyro Brass cars and I would love to be able to build some of them! Too many kits!
my66s55 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I have this kit and it is up for build in the near future. I reference my builds as much as possible and I must say, you did a perfect reproduction of this auto. Fantastic job.
Dr. Cranky Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 These vehicles are so cool . . . they are perfect specimens for Steampunk subjects, but you've done a great job on this model! Congrats.
Jim Gibbons Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Love it! I built this kit when it was Pyro back around the time Nixon was president. Nice to see a brass era car model.
dimaxion Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Love it! I built this kit when it was Pyro back around the time Nixon was president. Nice to see a brass era car model. "I am not a Crook ..." Excellent build of a challenge , to say the least . Just right . Thanx ..
lordairgtar Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I'm working on that same kit off and on. Also the Pyro Renault brass car. Some had actual plating that looked like brass and others had the gold colored plastic. LifeLike ones had grey plastic for the metal parts. My Renault has the brass plating. I have two Caddys, one with gold plastic trim and the other is grey trim.
