Jeffcad Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Hello !. The latest Cadillac to enter my collection. Here's Robert Burns's "Too Many Projects" 1/25th 1971 Cadillac series 75 Fleetwood limousine resin kit I have just finished a few days ago. Done in Empire Maroon Firemist to fit the brochure/ad from that time. A unique, first ever, stunning kit to build overall, although the real cadillac had no lower body chrome trims in 1971. ( started in 1972 ). I have scratchbuilt the interior tub, inside door panels and jump seats, and accurate hubcaps and seats have been 3d printed for more accuracy. Thanks for watching. 19
espo Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Beautiful finishes on the paint and trim. Like the color and the vinyl roof. 1
Ragtop Man Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Outstanding! I want to build one in white with Elvis getting in the back... 1
Claude Thibodeau Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Salut Jean-François! Wow, very nice. Do you have pics of the interior components, because the reflections on the windows makes it difficult to appreciate your work... Bravo! CT 1

I took only one pic of the unfinished interior during the process. I always forget to take more pics.... I do simple interiors but never spend too much time or detailing on them since they are not very visible most of the time anyway. Just the oversall idea. I am getting lazy with time 😜 . Here's the pic, before the installation of foot rest in the passenger cabin, head rest on the chauffeur seats, and dash wasn't finished back then. 3

Well, my friend, your "lazy" standard is Waaaaay above average, is all I can say! CT 1

Hi, these are a from a water decal sheet set with just crests from various scale. (From 1/43 to 1/18th). I bought some on EBay last year, from a seller called globaltoy. He offers them from time to time. Not at the moment unfortunately. The decals are great but are really modern Cadillac crests, not so accurate with 1970s and 1980s... But since this is all there is out there, that's what I am using.
