1988 Chevrolet Caprice Classic LS Brougham

[RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA]

This was originally a 1/26 scale green Caprice Classic Lowrider die cast model by Maisto that was converted into the top of the line showroom version you see here. Took a very long time to make this, but this was a car model I wanted for years. Check out the ultra plush genuine velour interior!

Where do you get this stuff, man? Really cool models.

Thank you everyone for the compliment! Here are some process shots for anyone who's interested. The base car was the Maisto 1/26 scale die cast green Caprice Lowrider with yellow graphics that was altered to make the LS Brougham version. The same can be done with Greenlight's new 1/24 scale Caprice police car. If I get my hands on one of those Greenlight models I'll build another LS.

Very nice!

Kind of looks like an old Seville. Really unique and wild interior. Nice job.

@mrmSorry for getting back to you late. I figured out how to reply to individual comments. The base car was the Maisto 1/26 scale die cast green Caprice Lowrider as shown in a few pictures above. There was a booth at the Canadian International Auto Show(CIAS) called Car Buffs that only sells die casts at various shows including the CIAS. I got three of those. One became this car, one will be a '85 Pontiac Parisienne, and maybe the other one can be a '82 Parisienne. 

Some good places to find models are ebay, kijiji(for Canada), Craigslist, swap meet, thrift stores, garage sales, and antique stores.

I am anxious to see what you can do with the much better GreenLight Caprice sedan in a reasonably accurate 1/24 scale.  The A-Team car is completely stock and even has accurate appearing wire wheel covers and whitewalls.   It resembles the Maisto in that many chrome trim pieces are not actually molded into the body. They're just printed on.  So any recolor loses all window and side trim.  It doesn't have emblems printed on to lose ?.

@RomanIIGreat idea! One day I need to get one of those GreenLight Caprice to do some work.
