Intmd8r Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Amazing work. This build has better paint than the Hot Rods at my local Speed Shop!
Kustom Rodder Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Wow that is kool very clean just a stunner of a 57vert.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) That is the baddest, trickest, slickest, meanest, and just plain coolest '57 I've ever seen. I've been bored out of my skull by '57s for years, but man, that thing is just totally wicked. Glad to see you did a drop-top, too. This one needs to get built 1:1. And thanks for the satin-chrome tip. It looks perfect. Edited August 3, 2012 by Ace-Garageguy
BOSWELL891 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Nice work everything looks good except I think the back end sits up too high or the front too low but still looks great
Ryan S. Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I love it. What a phenomenal '57. I have to agree that these have gotten kind of cookie-cutter, but yours walks up, slaps you in the face and says look at me! One of the best models I've seen on here. Question, how did you do the plug boots on the distributor? They look so cleanly done and real!
cobraman Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Wow ! Fantastic build. One of the if not the best 57 I ever saw. Great job !
espo Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 That is outstanding in every way. Exceptional detail on the interior and undercarriage.
crazyjim Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah dude. I really like the suicide doors and details. The satin chrome and SHINY :) paint is growing on me. Gorgeous 57.
blunc Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Excellent work, a fantastic amount of detail work that works well with the overall theme of the model. BRAVA!
baumi94 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Awesome build, this is the best looking 57 model kit that i have ever seen!
DumpyDan Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Wow this is very nice, I have several of these kits, and am dying to do something on the same line, but more lowrider. I have chrome spokes wheels, and now I have some motivation. Back to you, your detail work is very well done, love the under car detail. I could go on and on. What the other guys said. VERY COOL
TooOld Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Holy Cow ! ! ! Simply incredible detail , even for 1/12 scale ! !
Renegade Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Great overall detail and the interior really stands out.
Dyno Davo Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Not an easy kit to make nice but you have done an outstanding job. Very cool and great concept
