Bad Bossa Nova

[DAVE "THE DUKE" ARMSTRONG]

I just love the 1:1 real car, waited AGES for someone to do a decal for it- a decal maker named Chuck Boerner popped it out, and I bought some lickety-split! Fantastic decals, great workmanship, lay down like a dream. First time, I think, that I didn't let the decals sit while I got around to using them.

I took an AMT '66 Nova, smoothed out the body except for the gas cap, cut the hole in the hood. Parts box engine with resin manifold and metal tubes, painted. Parts box tires and wheels, scratch built roll bar. White primer, then a black base coat, then Tamiya Racing Green. Because of the black underneath, all the door lines and such come alive!

I don't build perfect replicas, but I think this is pretty close. The wheels are very, very, slightly different. Maybe not perfect but I'm happy with it.  Very happy with the paint and decals. It was stormy here the last two days (I take pics outside) so there are some funny reflections going on.

Hope you like it, comments welcome!

Thanks Joe, glad you liked it! I've been wanting to build this for a long time!

In my book, that is called absolutely nailing it! (No engine shots? That can't be right!)
