WIP! This one is turning green!

[proosen]

Hi all!
It's time to wrap up another build, I hope!? Some silver leaf TS-30 going on the back part of the rear end and roof. Hopefully I don't screw it up because if I do it'll be a long time 'til you see it again. As you all can see the main theme is green, even the engine got a green hue instead of the original chevy red/orange.
Well, that's it for now. Enjoy the pics.
Oh! BTW, it's a Revell/Monogram '56 Nomad mainly built box stock which is going to have few details in the engine bay and other wheels, haven't decided what kind yet, maybe I'll go for some classic five spoke cragars or the like?

Hey that's really nice! I like it a lot.
Good luck with the paint job cos I want to se it finished soon
The dash detailing is awsome - is that BMF or hand painted?

Looks good Niclas! Is this a build you are supposed to compete with at Wheels Nats? I saw that the theme of the show was green this year. Well Keep it up dude!

Didn't know that, talk about coincidence!
Maybe I'll go there and show my green machine then.

Klutz_100:
The dash is made up of three parts and the middle one is already chromed.

I like it! I have written on Wheels too. Good luck proosen!

looking good. the nomad is one of my favorite classic cars

I love this model, i'm actually building my second 56'. The one I built in High school was modeled after Jill Taylor's from Home improvment except her's was a 55'. Best paint job I ever did. Won second in category at my local IPMS sponsored by sikorsky.

Anyway, looks good, and good luck with the chrome trim on body, If my memory serves me correctly it was an absolute biotch!

Hey,

The interior looks great!! I'd go with teh cragars too. Keep up the awsome work!

Wooww I love the color.. I want to build a Nomad too!!!

[proosen]

So, I made some progress and got the silver leaf on and some basic wiring on the engine. Still needs some clear coats on the bodywork and some polishing before I'll go crazy with BMF! There is also going to be some more wiring and plumbing to do on the engine.

thats awsome man, love the color scheme and the wired motor is gonna set this off. Green isnt a very popular color, but you have done it justice. Keep it up

sooooo - engine is super cool
I'm GREEN with envy

Looks great, though to back up the stance and the scheme, I'd do something to either replace or beef that weak-sauce stock 265ci V8.

And, by the way, those are Keystone Kustom mag wheels, not Cragar S/S's.

Yepp! I know they are Keystone's and I also wrote "...or the like" as I didn't know which one's where hiding in the treasure chest. The engine will stay as is, my intention is to brake a spell and actually finish something for a change. So no major surgery or scratch building is going on, just some details under the hood. It's supposed to look like a slightly tuned stock grossery getter.
Thanks for pointing out the rims, they are still just a mock-up to get an idea of the apperance but they'll probably stay on when finished.
