discussion 1955 Chevy nomad

[Guest]

Wife, kids and grand kids left early this morning' gone to a Victorian extravaganza I am grounded with yet another sprained ankle........honest

So here she is completed I really hope you like her oh and in the last pic you will notice another bare shell when I bought this one the seller had another identical kit which was incomplete and included it free of charge I have just realized between the two boxes I could make another but not an estate (station wagon) as there is no clear parts except for the windscreen so I have purchased some sheet styrene and I am thinking chevy pick up what do you think?

Cheers Rob

very nice paint job Rob

That's excellent Rob, the paintwork is indistinguishable from a real car!

This has given me inspiration to try a civilian car

I like the photography (the real background and the gravel surface). Very effective in showing off the model. I must try this sometime. I discovered this technique last year:

It is because of your post 'is this really a model' that I give this a try

WOW thanks for sharing that link steve I must say I am genuinely inspired by it, as mine was just bodged with an I phone in the garden on top of the box that houses the electrics for the pond my daughter showed me that if you point the phone at the object you want to capture and tap the screen a square appears get the object in the square and it automatically focuses on it and by default obscures the surroundings.
