'59 Caddy

Started this about the end of last summer, got most of it done and other things got in the way. I restructured some of the trim and removed/molded in some of it too. Tamiya TS-11 Maroon is the main body color, and transparent TS red and orange and a handful of other opaque lacquers were used to do the flames... - Mark

Re: '59 Caddy

Nice paintjob with the flames on the side, and great engine details. I like the seat patterns as well, nice build!

Super job on the flames and chrome work

What did you use for the chrome?

Re: '59 Caddy

Killer flames! I just wish that I could be that creative with my AB..
Agreeing with janositamas about the seat pattern very nice...
And curious too about the chrome.

Re: '59 Caddy

I sanded off the chrome trim I didn't want, made new trim with sheet styrene and just BMF'd it like it was molded detail after painting it... - Mark
