Caddy lowrider

Got a few days off work so thought Ii'd take advantage of the weather and have a spraying frenzy ! . This is one of 4 that I've managed to do today, it's the recent Revell 80's Cadillac in Citroen Poseidon Blue metallic. Deep deep dish rims are from Pegasus Hobbies - not sure at the moment which centre caps to use - pic shows one of each.

Thanks for looking
Andy

Re: Caddy lowrider

I want one, just love that 80's Cadillac style.

Excellent choice of colors...will the interior be white, too?

Keep up the great work!

Re: Caddy lowrider

Been slowly putting this one together - just a couple of pics of the 99 % completed body. Still have suspension, interior & trunk to do.


and a crappy pic of the completed engine - I painted the pulleys, exhausts & oil pan with Alclad chrome.

Thanks for looking
Andy

Re: Caddy lowrider

Great lowrider. You're so good with the BMF stuff, it keeps driving me mad. Yours appears to be as smooth as clothing which is washed with new Vanish® Oxi-Action, the new washing powder formula which is blablablabla blablablabla bla.

Anyway, great work!

Re: Caddy lowrider

That looks great. Love the crome detailing on both the engine and the body. A very cool build.

Incredible work on the paint, it has a lot of depth.
The BMF looks great too!

Keep up the good work! those rims look killer.
