Dufasdave Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Here is my replica build of the very first Shelby Cobra that was ever built by Carroll Shelby. I have had the opportunity to see the real car at the Las Vegas Shelby Museum/workshop. The real car is in complete original condition even down to the torn seats, paintwork and oil leak. Apparently, as we were told, it will never be rebuilt. It even shows the paint colour prior to the now blue that it is today. On the front lower panel is a small area that is yellow. Here are my pics. There are a couple of pics of the real car as well.
Greg Cullinan Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Looks spot on. Matched the color perfectly. Super clean build
soldier0829 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Great build. Saw this car at SEMA a few years ago. You modeled it perfectly.
Jon Haigwood Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Great tribute car Carroll would love it,nice job
Platerpants Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 cant keep me from sniffing out blue cobras. very nice
Dufasdave Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 This was my first attempt at weathered seats. The seats are the kit seats with tissue paper glued on with watered down white glue. The tissue paper was then manipulated, whilst still wet, to resemble the real seats. They were then weathered with normal modelling paint after the glue had dried.. Easy!!! If I can do it, anyone can.
