The Creative Explorer Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Hi all, It's been a while since you've heard from me, well, i received a beautiful baby-boy and my wife and me are quite blessed with him. Because of him, I spent a lot of time less on modelling, since there is now more to do. But I did manage to make him his first model, the idea is that is for decoration in his babyroom for the upcoming years and than go in the attic until his will be 18. I wanted to make him a period-correct car and by coincidence, the Challenger was handed over to me. Unfortunately, it is the AMT one, so curbside and low on detail, but I do think I captured the spirit of this era with it. I painted the Dodge in Lamborghini colors and added racing-stripes between the base and topcoat for a beefy look.
Larryhagmansliver Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Love that paint job! The subtle stripes really set it off
kenlwest Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Congratulations on your new son! He'll be building cars before you know it! Ken
Jantrix Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Nice work. I'm sure he'll appreciate it in years to come. Make sure where ever you store it, is climate controlled. A hot attic will seriously warp a model. Edited May 18, 2011 by Jantrix
