RancheroSteve Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 A quick (for me anyway) quarantine build. Started at the end of February, finished yesterday. Just trying to have a little fun with this one and not get overly obsessed. Chassis built box stock, hood glued closed. A sort of "what if"/tribute car. Decals from the Roth '57 Chevy applied to the AMT Nomad. Roof and tailgate were smoothed, and the hood rockets from the '57 were grafted into the '55 hood. Roof was striped using Tamiya fine line masking tape. Tires from the '50 Olds kit, wheels from Replicas & Miniatures. Thanks for looking!

espo Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 This looks great, you could bet Roth would have done something like this. The '57 hood really gets your attention. Very nice smooth finish and I like the creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koellefornia Kid Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Awesome! I think the Roth decals look even better on the ´55 Nomad than on the `57 Chevy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
