76 Chevy Caprice lowrider

Andy Jones · #1 06-17-2007, 08:53 AM

A quick build purely on account of I love the look of these old barges & wanted one in my collection.
The only none stock items are the rims & tyres which are from Pegasus hobbies with Model Car Garage p/e spinner centres. Paint is Zero Nissan Le Mans Sunset plus pre-thinned clear laquer.
Anyway here's the pics:

Thanks for looking
Andy

Excellent job, that car looks great! When I saw the thread title I had to check it out as I owned a 1975 Chevy Caprice 20 years ago. Seeing that car brought back a lot of good memories. They sure don't build them like that anymore!

It's sort of a cyclical thing - when I get a bit bored with building a particular style I tend to build something differnet for a change - at the moment it's lowriders but that'll probably change again when I start getting some stuff through from HLJ (Trueno's, old school Skylines, & VIP's). I'm also looking forward to getting my hands on the new Revell 49 Merc.

I guess I just like a lot of different styles.

Cheers
Andy

P.S. Thanks for the feedbackcomments guys

clean build nice color, what about the engine just asking?

It looks good. I'm not much into all the graphics and murals they sometimes put on these kinds of cars. A solid color with a clean interor looks sweet and this my friend is sweet.

Off topic, I'm loving that picture you have there rambenna :P

The kit does have an engine but it's not very detailed so I just built it kerbside.
