This is the 1:12 scale Monogram Bel Air kit, bought this years ago and built it pretty much out the box using the optional 'street rod' parts. Some time later I dragged it out of it's storage box to find all the chrome had failed and bits were hanging off it so I decided to redo the whole thing from scratch. These first images show how far I got before putting it back in the box, painted up the chassis & interior properly and had a go at detailing the big block (without much success!)

Now I finally have the picture thing sussed... The paint on this is Humbrol Metalcote Gunmetal, a right pain to use on large items like this but very effective for smaller stuff... I was aiming for the 'used car' look, I didn't want a showroom shine. Likewise with the bright-work, I thought about adding some rust spots here and there along with some subtle weathering but haven't got the means right now.

Very cool, Santeras! I built one of these 1/12 scale Chevys back in '86. Did mine stock. Gave it to a friend who has two REAL '57 Chevies. Have ya got any more pics of this jewel?

I built that kit stock some years back. Would have liked to see your pictures but Photobucket would not let me look at them. Says Image Unobtainable??
