This is my 1970 Chevelle
both in full size and 1/18th scale
I
wanted a 1/18th scale car to reflect my full size car and set forth to
create a detailed miniature. After using Bare Metal Foil to highlight the
chrome molding, I grabbed the wheels from another car, painted them in the
center and modified some sprint car tires to duplicate the real ones. I
also scratchbuilt the exhaust tips using my 1/1 as a guide. Using my
graphic design background I also created the authentic license plates. In
the near future I will also be fully detailing the engine compartment and
adding headers and Holley carb as I now have.
This is an artwork version of my car I created in one of our slower periods at work.
