I love car models. Even simple ones like these give you a car that you can hood and get a feel for. You can greeble the crap out of them by doubling parts, separating the hubcaps from the wheels and painting the wheels with rubbber glue, that could be liquid eletrical tape, or buy a tube of "Flex-Seal", and the tires really pop. Nice job. ;

Want to build a car model that will blow your mind. IT comes out so well. I;ve given many of these to people, one person still has, and I gave it to him 15 years ago. The car has a full interior, and the window glass is easy tomake. I'd recomend cutting the dark sports out of the rims, tripliing the insides, making real rims out of them. It's a superb model. The Instructions are on the download page. I suggest you download them with the model, easier to access offline. Should you chose this beauty. :)

The '55 Chevy is always a good subject. That model is nice, and it's good to see it in a four door sedan, rather than the usual two door hardtop.

And that white sports car is a knockout! Nice work, interesting car.

I know the '57 Chevy 2 door hardtop has been overdone as a subject, but here is one made of cardboard and colored paper (about 1/24 scale). A friend commissioned me to build it for her stepdad.
The pictures you see are scanned from photos of the model. Sorry the quality isn't better.Scan_20200830.pngScan_20200830 (2).png

I need to correct this mistake. This copper and white '55 Chevy is not one of my builds, nor is the white sports car. I cannot take the credit for them.

I did, however, do a '57 Chevy in turquoise and white, in my usual three-section construction style.

Here is the link to the '57 Chevy thread: https://www.zealot.com/threads/57-chevy-hardtop.181336/ Its photos have also been added to this thread. (Thank you, Zathros.)
