'61 Pontiac kustom

[chepp]

Our intrepid customizer was working on a '61 Pontiac Ventura when he came across a totalled near-new '63 Riviera -- that top was perfect!
The body is from Moebius, the roof from AMT and custom parts from several kits including an AMT '65 Grand Prix and unnamed '61 and '62 SMP kits as well as the AMT '65 Riviera.
Paint is Tamiya Clear Green over Model Master Sterling Silver basecoat with a variety of other fogged colors. Like a real alligator, the colors are not perfectly symmetrical.

It's a curbside, based on a Moebius 1/25 1961 Pontiac Ventura hardtop. See the build thread here: trakinscale.proboards.com/thread/20012/1961-pontiac-ventura-kustom .

That Rivi top was a brilliant swap. So classy.

Thanks, all, for the kind comments. However, I mistakenly gave it too much of a California rake. A quick modification lowered the rear for a more traditional appearance.
