Revell 1:25 Foose Custom Cadillac Eldorado.

[BrianI]

The last bits glued on and the last decals applied an hour before the end of 2023, so I'm calling the Revell 1:25 Foose Custom Cadillac Eldorado done.

An interesting build (with several roof repairs!).

My first real use of 2K clear gloss coat (which I'm still not convinced about, due to it looking like clear syrup covering the model due to it's thickness).

But overall a good build, apart from Revel quality such as a slightly twisted chassis.

But at least it's now done and dusted 🙂

Lovely job, great save from the setback with the bonnet (hood?  ) - cracking paintjob in two lovely complementing colours!

Carrying out repairs can be very frustrating,  but looking at your finished work you would never know any had be carried out,  top work - Andy

That's a very nice looking build, lovely shine on the paint too. As for the bit above about the slight chassis twist, my experience has been that when I've had a car tripoding on completion (and often they straighten themselves out when you add the body or interior, but not always) the car will settle down to all four wheels touching after about 6 months or so. It almost seems as though the plastic gradually settles over time so there's still chance for it to be on all four wheels yet.
