Chuck Most Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 This just sort of happened one day... It's a mostly box stock ( )Revell kit, and about all I did with it was weather it. I gave it a mis-matched driver's side door and fender (with primer spots on the fender to show where the replacement panel was reworked to match the other side). I added some aluminum carb stacks, and replaced the steering wheel with a '60 Ford piece, only because the kit wheel was damaged by the mold. Not a bad way to spend a couple evenings off work, huh? A bit suprised this is only the second Revell Merc I've built. The next one will be a bit more extreme, I promise!
John Teresi Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Chuck......the love and passion that you put into your builds......it show`s Brother......very cool model.
AzTom Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Another nice one Chuck. That paint looks like an AZ sun beaten sand worn finish. I like it. AzTom
LAone Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 this is really cool. i like it a lot, it has character.
crazyjim Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 I like the holes for the door handle and trim. Looks as if someone is slowly building a nice ride.
Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 I like the holes for the door handle and trim. Looks as if someone is slowly building a nice ride. Yeah, and the way the primer is on the front fender (same side) it adds to it. Like they just finished working around the headlight or something. Really nice build chuck. I enjoy your work.
Sixties Sam Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Very cool and creative! I could imagine finding a real one like that in an old barn, and the owner saying something like "It was Dad's. He's gone, and we just want to get rid of it. Give me $500 and it's yours!" Sam
Brokentail58 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 That looks great. Looks like something I would see at any of the 1:1 shows I have been to over the years.
Guest Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Very cool build Chuck! The weathering looks perfect! Have you ever done a tutorial on your process? If you have,please provide a link. If you haven't,please do one!
Dr. Cranky Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I love the WIP look of the build. You got everything right, including that door trim strip. Nice, Mr. Most. Very nice.
