'67 El Camino

[Snake45]

I know many of you probably don't routinely look at the Diecast forum. There's a rather nice new '67 El Camino available, if you're not an anti-1/24 snob, that's worth a look. Full review with pics here:

That's pretty sweet

Looks pretty good.  Better in a nice color I think.

I'm hoping they'll eventually issue one more stock-ish and in Marina Blue.

I'll be watching what you do with this.

Been working on this. Yesterday I masked off the WAY too thick vent window chrome frames and "thinned" them with brushed flat black. Sanded the tire treads and painted the area behind the headlights white--originally came painted silver there which didn't show up too well through the lenses. Today started detailing the grille, and painted the wheel spokes a dark gray metallic--they looked okay black but they were nice wheels and I thought having them lighter would dress the model up a little. Got a few more things to do but I hope to kick it through the goal posts in the next few days--most of the hard work is done now.
