Enter the Superbird

Well we are all moved into our new Condo and I've started my first build in quite a while.




So far all I've done is assembly the spoiler, nose cone and fender ducts. I aslo painted the engine block, but there are no pictures of that. This car looks like it is hauling ass standing still, i kind of want to toss it of the balcony to see if can fly.

Also here is a picture of my new bat cave!!!



Ignore the piant, the room was the previous owner's daughter's. Soon the lavender stars will be covered with automotive posters

Re: Enter the Superbird

You planning on going with the timeless Petty paint scheme, or something more interesting?

You definetly need to sprinkle parts and plastic dust and some random modeling tools over the table.
And keep the `little girl`-theme in the room. Car-posters are so boring. ( note: irony!!!)

Btw, this is one of my favorite musclecars! And we say that todays cars are `wedgeshaped`.. Guess Mopar was ahead of its time...
I think you should dig up some info and build it as a car with the most unusuall colorcode that year. Model-specific car clubs usually have that info on their sites.

Keep in mind.... if you have a child this is no longer your "bat cave". so use poster putty for the car posters so you wont ruin them when you have to relocate to the garage.

Thanks!

The secret is using enamal paint. It makes highlight painting a breeze as it does not dry super fast, unlike acrylics.
