1957 Chevy Bel Air Convertible - 1/12 (Junk Car)

Excellent work on adding some much needed detail. at least building it as a junker you can leave parts off to expose the detail your adding (it’d be a shame if it was all covered up).

There is a 1/12 chevy kit available, fyi. (from revell). recently reissued.

@OctaneOrange - Yes, that’s right, as a junker you can ad details that otherwise you would never see. That’s cool!

About the scale, It was my mistake. It’s a 1/16. I tried to edit the headline afterwards but it was not possible anymore. It’s an old 1/16 kit of ERTL.

Hello guys, I’m back after a long absence. Lots of things happened lately.

Now lets get to the model. After painting a matt brown layer and 2 red layers I wet sanded the body using rust powder mixed with water to get a very fine superficial rust effect.

I hope you like it.

Thanks for the update. She’s really looking bad, and that is really good!

I’m back with the engine bay details. Here you see a few pics of the process and t the bottom you’ll see the finished engine bay.

I used an old light bulb to make the accelerator spring and I scratch built many parts such as the battery cable connectors, the brake booster, heater hoses, etc.

Here you see the finished engine bay:

Really good work…:slight_smile:

That’s a junker? It looks better than a few of the cars I’ve owned in the past.[:$]

Thanks!

awesome work!

hello guys, here is the final result on this project:

That’s probably one of the most creative dioramas I’ve ever seen. Fantastic work!

I agree with cn spots. Excellent work! Bob

That’s just stunning, and just the most original thing I’ve seen in ages. BRAVO!!
