Well, here it is, my completed TKM resin 1/25th-ish-scale Fleetwood. This is a terrible model to try and tackle, but I always figure i need a model of every car I own, so here it is. Thought you guys might kind of like it. :bonkers:

Thanks. :)
I don't want to make another one. I thought it was a PITA! :banghead: It's a TKM cold-cast resin model. They are really crude models, basically carved out by hand by a guy. If you want to make them into anything presentable, you have to do a lot of filling and sanding and creative stuff. I sort of combined it with an Impala SS kit chassis, but really I just used little parts because the Fleetwood is a lot shorter and narrower than that kit. They're a starting point, anyway, if you want a Fleetwood model. It is such a rough model, it would be tough to make it perfect. I basically like the way it turned out for what I had to work with.

Very nice. You sound like you are a perfectionist at heart, and your results are fantastic. I know it must have been a real labor of love.
