JoHan '56 Pontiac Star Chief 4dr

[JTalmage]

Here's a quicky build that I've been wanting to do for a while. I found some paint at walmart the other day that spoke to me. 

This model features the 3d printed interior for the '56 Pontiac 4dr now available by Okey of JoHan. 

I painted the chrome on the dash and most of the door panels with molotow with a brush. 

Mirrors are parts box, and not correct but look cool on it. Custom license plate I made years ago. I wish I put a mirror off the inside of the roof but oh well. 

My only regret is the trunk. The scripts were not proud enough to let me sand thru the paint to the foil without making it a mess so I had to detail it the best I could with Molotow.

Enjoy

 

Here's some pics of the interior before it went in the car. I painted the turn signal and shift knobs white before it went together.

Really nice build! I had a 56 Buick Super 4 Dr hardtop. Miss that car.

GORGEOUS! Museum display!!  Blown away with the dash and the overall look...

Agreed.  That dashboard is amazing!

Wow! What a gorgeous Pontiac. It’s a heartbreaker. I love the colour choice. It grabbed me right away. There sure is a lot of great paint and foil detailing on this one. Okey is offering 3D printed interiors?

Jesse, nice 56 Poncho, very nice...

Beautiful looking finishes and the colors look very much like some that they offered in that era. Very impressive interior shapes and finishes.

Cool looking Pontiac with a superb interior - did you tint the windows green?

[Classicgas]

Beautiful.

[Bronzekeg]

stunningly clean build.

Well sir that's one fine model, I know it's based on a promo and if I walked into a Pontiac dealer and saw that I'd buy one right there. The Johan promo's had that nice tint, really adds a realistic touch. Your attention to detail in the interior and exterior trim is top drawer, bravo.

Pretty fine, especially for one of those completely unbuildable 200-year old kits from the dawn of time.  

[TooOld]

Beautifully done Jesse , the paint and detailing is exceptionally nice !  One thing you might think about is toning down those black panel lines , they should appear as a shadow not black . 

[H.A.K]

That looks great. I have the same kit I want to build. How can I get ahold of that Okey of JoHan person ?

[PappyD340]

Beautifully done!!

Fabulous work on the dash, love the color combination.
