heinz74 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 posted this in the 'big boys' section, but never really finished it till recently it's the original 3in1 kit from 1986 i bought (salvaged) as a glue bomb.. it cam e with a cracked body,missing parts,faded chrome...and lots and lots of household glue in ALL the wrong places took lots of hours to (re)build..and detail and plumb in brake and fuellines.. i'm guessing it came out Ok ,,, the paint is automotive Standox,,i never used BMF so all the chrome is Alclad.. a shot of the interior...with flocking for carpet etc etc... and for keeping it free from dust and pets..i got a huge displaycase for it in which it will remain for the rest of it's life i sure had fun ,looking online for reference and all i hope you like it ,it's my first attempt at a big scale.. greetings!
sjordan2 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Beautiful job. What's the display case -- an aquarium?
Gluebomber Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Really nice build, Henry. Great detail under the hood.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Very cool!!! Love to a see a stock '57 Chevy. Too many have being ruined already.
Renegade Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Beautiful build. Would never know it had been a glue bomb. Great save.
heinz74 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 thanks for the positive comments alloverhere it's a hard kit to get at..it doesn't show up often..and finished now people think its a Diecast..i still have one left which i bought some time ago, it's the version that only builds a stock '57(blue car in the box art, no 7489)i'm thinking about doing that in red with the Cragar wheels on it ..we'll see.and sjordan2 it's not an aquarium..it's a 1/12 Diecast displaycase from a company called Premium Classixxsit costs more than the kit to start with..but hey?..thanks All!
clovis Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Absolutely stunning work!!!! I don't think I could build anything comparable to that model in a million years!!!
Cien1986 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Its simply beautiful..... Nice job..... can't resist to put the key and drive at weekend....
stump Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 GREAT piece of modelling excellence Henry. And I love the display box, a model looking that good deserves to be displayed and protected accordingly, nice work mate.
