bbowser Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Finally finished, been working on this one off and on since Christmas. I cut the back of the chassis off the Model King re-issue and grafted on an AMT 90's Cup car rear to get the truck arm-coil spring suspension. Decals from Cady, I tried doubling up the door numbers but the red stripe still bled through. Oh well, there's always something. Hope you enjoy, comments welcome. Here's the link (I hope) to the WIP http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=54419 Edited May 10, 2012 by bbowser
Scuderia Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Boy that's striking! I love that body shape, nicely done!
Kmidd65 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Excellent job on this one, Bruce! I am glad that you queue'd it back up and finished it. Keep em' coming, we always enjoy!!
TooOld Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 It turned out really nice Bruce . I was following your build and you did an excellent job ! I wouldn't worry about the stripe bleeding thru , most people won't even notice . Besides , you learned something , and that's always a good thing !
bbowser Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I stretched myself on this one as I usually build OOB and learned some lessons on the way. I am inspired by all the great builders on here and have more plans in my head than I can possibly complete.
W-409 Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Cool Laguna Chevelle. I like the subject alot and paint job turned out amazing. Decals fit nicely too, engine looks clean etc. Clean build without big mistakes. Thanks for sharing this one.

MarkWelby Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 This came out super! Very clean and what a job on the three tone paint job, nice sharp lines between the red and yellow.
Lanny Haas Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 One thing I dont like about it..... is its not on my shelf! Turned out great!
