StevenGuthmiller Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) No collection would be complete without at least one '57 Chevy, & I'm no exception. This is the AMT '57 Belair hardtop, (the newer one with the opening trunk) I have three or four favorite colors for the '57 Chevy, & none of them are the "usual" Tropical Turquoise or Venetian Red. I'm a bit of an oddball when it comes to color choices. The more unusual the better. I like, "Canyon Coral", "Laurel Green", "Coronado Yellow" and of course, the color this one is done in, "Dusk Pearl". Steve Edited April 24, 2018 by StevenGuthmiller
wisco8 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Masterful work Steven!! Absolutly beautiful!! Steve Cook
Ramfins59 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Another beauty Steven. You've got quite an impressive collection of beautifully done models. I'm also a fan of picking different colors for cars. It keeps things interesting.
Grumpa Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Superb build Steve! Great color, flawless foil work, and I would love to know how you did the piping on the upholstery!
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks everybody!! Jeff, "Evening Orchid" was a '65 GM color. This is an actual '57 GM color called "Dusk Pearl". Pretty close to Evening Orchid, but a little less on the purple side & a little more on the gray side. Mark, the piping on the seats was pretty simple on this one. Just Foil! Steve
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Ahhh, a nice '57 Bel Air... I'm afraid I went more popular and painted mine black. This cars is so beautiful that is almost as nice as a 1957 Fairlane 500. Almost... No it's not. The Fairlane is much nicer.
slusher Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Gorgeous and classy build Steve. I really like that color on a 57....
peekay Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Just when I thought I'd seen enough 57 Chevys! Beautifully done and my favourite colours.
rmvw guy Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Nice work, the color is perfect.I should learn from you and pick some oddball colors, that's what makes this build not so ordinary. I love it! The photos look like a real, full size car in your driveway.
migace Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I like the unusual colors too keep it up love to see what's next!
