NitroMarty Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) Somtimes I just want to build something that is simple yet unique.... That's when I start lookin' at my stash of promos. Promo models from the 80s and 90s (even a few from the mid and late 70s) are cheap and plentiful and can be a real hoot to play around with! Here's a couple of examples..... I started with this..... And wound up with this..... This '88 Taurus was inspired by a co-worker's son's everyday high school cruiser... It was lowered and wears a set of 20" wheels by Hoppin' Hydros... Paint is Duplicolor automotive touch up lacquer. Here's another..... I started with this..... And this is the final result....... Once again, this Geo Stormwas lowered... Wheels, tires and rotors are from some forgotten source.... Revells' PT Cruiser perhaps? Paint is Tamiya Candy Lime Green over Tamiya Gold Leaf. I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I sure have fun building stuff like this! Edited January 13, 2008 by NitroMarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrice Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I like both of these. You have given me ideas for my SHO and Geo. Got the SHO in primer. Beautiful builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul_Perez Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Very nice work!! I would have just tossed them both, but you made them both into really nice looking models!! Maybe I'll have to take a second look the next time someone gives me something like what you started with!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
