Revell '50 Olds fastback conversion

Nice job on that!

When I was a kid, we had a '56 Olds for years. It was the two-toned, white above pink.

Next project preview   

Thanks Doog!

WOW, that's seriously purdy! Nice color and interior!

Nearly done!   

Looks like Mr Olds is frowning!    

I decided to put a suite of card decal on the rear deck just for fun!  

OMGTIFN!

Put o the rear bumper,  

Mounted the body to the chassis,tires and some chrome.   

This is looking seriuosly nice.

Thanks!Check out the reflection of the stone shield on the driver's side!      

Really looking good!

Started the Bare metal Foil process.The stone shields i made look pretty good!   

There,that's better!   

Ran into a problem with the tires.The whitewalls flaked off when I installed the rims.I prefer the Monogram method of providing a separate plastic whitewall insert.I will use my circle template and Tamiya white to airbrush the problem away.    

I can't wait to see these finished pics.

Got the interior together.  

Airbrushed the final color coats and am really pleased!Man this paint job will really shine in the sun!   

The decals are noyt very good with almost no adhesive despite being dunk in water for a few seconds.i had to put some Future on them to make them adhere.  

detail painted the interior panels.Had to freehand so it is not perfect but I will refine it as best I can.  

Went with a slightly darker green for the seats,dash and interior side panels.    

I like this metallic green!   

I used strip styrene to add the chrome trim to the door and rear fender.The stone shield on the rear fender was pounded out of sheet brass and it was not easy to make it fit.I will have to add putty to smooth it out.It too much longer than I anticipated!      

Decided to paint the aircan red to liven up the otherwise monochromatic engine bay.    

Assembled and painted the chassis,i really like the detail!    

Man!The engine sure is nice!  

Tease!
