....... My Quick Modeling Fix ........

Here's my Quick Modeling Fix... A 1:25 AMT Snapfast kit.

I originally bought this kit because I love the body on it, it would make a killer detailed street rod. Well ... I got it in the mail today, and after opening the box I couldn't help myself ... it was on. :naughty:

I only did a couple of things to it. First was to can the toyish looking tri-blade wheels, they were replaced with a set of Pegasus chrome T's, 19" front and 23" rears. The body is molded in the blue plastic with white painted stripes. There were a bunch of fine scratches all over it and some pretty heavy ones on the top. Without getting out the sandpapaer, a quick once over with Meguiars #7 glaze and a coat of wax. I also black washed the grill and painted the side pipe ends. After that it was all snapped together. No brakes on it, I don't have a spare set and the headlight lens are not snapped all the way in the housings as I will take this car apart one day and build a better detailed rod out of it.

Till then I'll just enjoy rolling it back and forth across my desk. :evillol:

Comments welcome

Great.... work? I like it a lot! Looks very cool. I'm just confused by it is all. Very pretty, no doubt satisfying.

looks Sweet! And it looks damn good for being a snapfast kit.

Thats cool!!!

Love it i had the crysler of that series but i used the rims on a 70 charger because i got stuck on the whole 22' rims on a older car thing (living in the hood at time) but it looked awsome and it was left behind but i would love the caprice cop car!

A Snap Kit! now thats what I should build to get me off this slump, hope you dont mind me stealing this idea...Great job btw!

I see street rod from hell!! When I seen this kit of yours, the wheels started turning!!

damn snap kitz are nice!! pretty sex

Damn....that's all I have to say

Nice work.

Very Nice, the wheels look kool :)

Awesome! Looks a bit like the Prowler (Chrysler) but with a roof. I think I´m in love with those rims, looks like Torque Thrusts. Anyway, it looks great but is there any engine details?

Duke, I think its Curbside.


cwmax the model turned out GREAT!

That's hot :eek:

What a monsta!! :angryfire

Thanks for the comments.

The kit only has 24 pieces, and if you don't count the wheel swap, polishing and the minor painting I did, you can snap one together in about 2 minutes :icon16:

SupaMan89T - I saw the caprice cop car on Ebay today, I think it starts at $4.00

WeaPoN [X] - Got me thinking for sure, with only some minor mods it could be a real nice car. And go together quick.

ol' dude - Oh Yea, wheels been turning all day as I look at this thing on my desk, I gotta get another for modding.:iceslolan

Hiroboy - The wheels make it, the ones that come with it make it look like a toy. If I had a set of Pegasus disc's they would be on here too.

DukeMan - Yea it does kinda have the shape of the Prowler. Not much detail, no interior or engine. You only see what looks like a set of valve covers through the side openings. It wouldn't take much to open the sides up and put a detailed engine in there.

Hmmmm, I might have to get 2 :evillol:

Awesome job!

Sweet car. :)
The wheel mod makes it look perfect.
