SuperStockAndy Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Looks awesome! Looks somewhat like the one I built, but this one is better!
oldscool Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 That is a very well done model - clean and tight . gus
peter31a Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Classic build of a classic kit! Very well done sir!
Rob McKee Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 That is one great looking Nova with many extra details. Well done, I love the sun glasses on the dash.
jwood Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks for all of the great comments! It’s always a bit intimidating posting builds in this forum because of all of the outstanding modelers in this community. Dragline – I will post some engine shots tonight. Engine detailing isn’t really my strong suit but I’ll post some shots. Also, if anyone hasn’t checked out the Donn Yost DVD’s for airbrushing model cars and tips & tricks for model cars you should do yourself a favor and order them. I used plenty of his tips in this build. jwood
jwood Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 WOW! Quite the comeback I must say... I said it was the first build completed since coming back to the hobby. I didn't mention all of the kits I started and didn't finish getting up to this point. LOL
Scale-Master Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 There is a lot of nice work in that. Great shine too. But the tires steal the overall effect and give it a bit of a toylike look/stance, (or production die-cast look?) because of their large size. The left side tail light missed getting painted red too. Maybe it's because I owed a real '67 Coupe, I see the proportions/balance differently than others? I too would like to see more of that engine bay. Nice first completion.
deathskull59 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 wow that looks even more better than the box stock version. coollllllllllllllllllllll.
