Jeff B Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Somewhat new to posting on this site, I finally bought a decent camera and wanted to post some old builds. I began this AMT re-release in the late 90's. It had a Burgandy body and tan interior, but never got finished. Then in 2011, I started over by stripping the body and interior tub with brake fluid. It's OOB except for the tires, which came from a '63 Galaxie, and the air cleaner which maybe came from a '69 Camaro. BMF for the stainless trim, and license plates are from the aftermarket. Finish is Testors Diamond Dust and Wet Look Clear, and the Interior is Hunter Green Krylon.
W-Machine Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I really like your Rivvie! Good color choice, and has a look that's "right".
charlie8575 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 The silver with green interior is one I would never have considered, but I must say it looks very nice. The build itself demonstrates good workmanship, too. Charlie Larkin
spkgibson Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Very Nicely done....I love the color combo..Very cleanly built.....See everyone....You don't have to spend a small fortune on a build to have a great looking model.....Great Job!
mikemopar70 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Very nice build. It's clean and well executed, for such an old tooling kit!! Congratulations!!
TooOld Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Great looking model of one of the best looking Rivieras ever !
Platerpants Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 nice riv, now if only my sculpture of my 92 riv looked half this good.

Jeff B Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks for all the nice comments! I also posted my 60's Dodge A-100 Van in the truck/van/commercial Under Glass section, so check that out if you get a chance. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71409 Here IT is...
unclescott58 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 The Riv you built is very nice. Very clean. Rivieras look best left clean like yours, without a vinyl roof. Buick felt that way at the time too. Go back and look at their ads for this generation Riviera. Rarely will see one with a vinyl roof. The Dodge van looks great too. Except, is that a bench seat I see? With the engine location and dog house for such engine, that would not work without major modifications to the structure of the whole van. Other that, from the one picture it looks pretty good. Scott
