66 Pontiac GTO
by aussie muscle Mon 20 May 2013, 4:23 pm
This is revell's 1/25 66 GTO and it's an excellent kit with good detail/good fit (except the body-to-chassis fit).
Falling Skies is a show set about six months after Earth has been invaded by aliens, who kicked our collective asses. Now a rag-tag mix of civillians and military are waging a guerilla war against the aliens. The GTO is the 2nd Massachusetts Regiment's command vehicle and has a 50mm mounted gun. it has no back story, but i assumed it was looked after by it's owner until the war and was commandeered by the resistance. it's since had a hard life and has become rusty and shot up.
I couldn't find a cheap 66 GTO convertible, so i bought the hardtop and cut off the roof. I added lots of details to the engine and chassis and weathered everything. To make the bullet holes, use a small (#70) drill right through, then use a larger drill to bevel the edge, then paint it silver.

Adds a whole new meaning to the song... 'Little GTO'.
