Hotwheels 57 Chev

Heres my plastic copy of a Hotwheels 57 Chev that I had in my collection. It started as a AMT kit. I changed the wheels, these came from the Tom Daniels Paddy Wagon kit. Not much else was changed with the standard kit. Tamiya paints for the gold, metallic black and bright red on the exterior and satin black/matt white for the interior. Not much has been done in the engine bay, just the kit engine with wired up spark plugs. I wanted to keep it a simple build as the AMT kit, I thought, was a bit ordinary.

That's worked out very nicely. I like the colours - unusually different.

That came out great - looks fantastic!

now that's super cool,great colours on it.

Awesome looks great
Cheers Marshie

Nice work Dave, a brilliant shine and great handy work on those bonnet hinges.

Cool, you did a great job on this build.

Sweet!

awesome

Awesome dave ,well done

Turned out great Dave, looks just like the mini one.

Bit of an update on this one. I made a base for it to go to the Mackay comp where it got a trophy for thinking outside the box.
Enjoy.

Nice work, now you just need to build a 1/12 scale one

Well done...love the display base.

And a 1:1



Nice work

beautiful pair. look good together.

Sweet

I like the base but I still reckon you should've made the 1:24 scale size Hotwheels packet and hang it from a hook.

Went off that idea when the packet was going to be too big and distract your eye from the car. Also couldn't find/work out how to do the clear packaging without too much drama/cost. Figured that the base would be just as eye pleasing to highlight the Chev's heritage.

Well done,very deserving of a trohpy

The cars look so kool , the base looks awsome . ...
