Watson style '59 Skyliner

I am just about speechless. I can't say how cool I think this model is! Renaud "ZED" Legardez painted this car twice and the 2nd time around could not be better! He started with one of the Revell "multi peice" body kits. To begin with, these kits were crude but he made them look beautiful!

When blah becomes BLAH.....

And all the sudden out of nowhere comes something that is no longer BLAH! Renaud (ZED) Legardez , member of Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale and a Gold Member of the Drastic Plastics Model Car Club is working on this sweet Watson style '59 Skyliner. I about jumped out of my skin when I saw photos of this posted on TRaK! In fact, this paint job/project has me motivated to try the same on a '60 Buick I am building.
This is not the first time I have seen this done on a model car/ 1/25 scale....but the pattern and colors REALLY did it for me!

When Art and Plastic collide

Building box art models has been fun and I have a lot to build yet. For some reason I seem to draw more inspiration from artwork than I do from photos of real vehicles. Lyle Willits has also been bitten by the bug, at least awhile ago since these are new photos of an old build of his. He built his '41 Chevy pickup to look like a Jairus Watson piece. I really like the truck even if he had never shown the artwork with it. On TRaK I have a build going for modeling artwork in plastic. I have a feeling it's going to bring some really neat builds out!

'40 Ford done right!

John Goschke built this beauty. The sharp lines in the scallops (which are painted on) , to the detailed engine compartment make this one stick out from the rest!

I'm in love
