Winter time model building thread.
This is my take on the Chrysler Atlantic concept car from the late 90's. Not until I sawed the roof off did it look right. A few years after I did this car I started seeing others at shows. The greatest compliment.
The wheels are from a 1/18th. die cast Porsche and fit those huge wheel wells perfectly. The kit itself is a Lindberg snap kit with about 8 coats of black lacquer (remember that stuff?) and about 10 coats of clear, buried under dust now....
This was my break-out build. It was my first model to be published in the modeling magazines. It turned up in Scale Auto Enthusiast, the SAE annual contest issue, and Car Model. It made a big splash at the `99 NNL East and I took Best of Show at the Mid-Atlantic (how fitting...) NNL in Maryland with it. I had been attending shows for YEARS and this is the car that got me noticed. After this build, Matt Wells from SAE or Gregg Hutchings from Model Cars would look for my stuff. It made all those lonely nights at the workbench unwinding all that more special. 8)
