1977 DODGE MONACO

[PhilJ]

To be honest Si, that's why I don't buy cheap old kits anymore! I'd rather save up & get something I know won't drive me mad ...geddit? Drive me mad ...
I'll get me coat!

Jokes!

One careful owner.......any offers will be considered.o_O


Very nice, looks like something you'd find on a 2nd hand car lot.

It's not bad at all... I don't really go for these Wyle of cars but surely it's a good being to have beaten the kit and to have made a nice looking model to boot.


Good job mate

The dirt, rust and neglected look of it has been captured nicely Si. I now dare you to build a car in perfect showroom order

Nice little build but its missing something, i know its all the rust mud and left in a field

[takeslousyphotos]

It was worth the struggle So........ You`'ve ended up with a gem........ Looks really good. A proper tired and well used hack. And you have been very restrained with the rust..... Good Boy .

I like it and I think you have achieved the look you were looking for one tired and well used car.


Well done Si

You are a Master Si at rust work. Do not know how you do it but it is so effective. Especially the bit on the boot cover.


Despite your difficulties Si you keep producing them and I know you moan but you cannot keep away can you. ?

Very nice compliment indeed Laurie, thank you. I just use three rust pigments and pigment fixer. To create the effects on the panels I used a sponge to gently dab.


I have to get sorted somehow, got a 1/72 uboat, 1/24 Huey, 1/24 London bus and a 1/400 Titanic kit to get done.

I may have owned one of these back in the day, yours looks better than the one I think I had [ATTACH]115190.IPB[/ATTACH]

With new build modelling taking a back seat at the moment I decided to revisit the Dodge, I wanted to try out a knackered paint lacquer look and some dodgy looking primer and paint work.


So, here is the really sorry looking Monaco...FOR SALE...any takers?
