'57 Chevy Nomad
Box art, blah, hate the crab claws.
What the kit contains
Trying my hand at multi color interior
That looks disgusting! Time to throw that in the brake fluid!
The engine that I'm using.
I cut a lot off the generator, it looked way too big.
Used my cricut to make some new masks for the seats
That's much better! The masks worked perfectly!
The under carriage.
Details
Gotta get them wheels and tires straight
Engine in, testing the tub
Fresh out of the paint booth. I'll let that sit for a few days and then detail the trims
I was dreading this mask
I thought I had it good, shot it with silver leaf
Didn't turn out terrible but not great either. I forgot lower part of the tailgate, ugh. What to do.
I finally was able to fix some masking errors and do some more
The pearl clear is awesome!
Didn't turn out quite as good as I was hoping, but it turned out OK.
My sleeper Nomad!

BozzerI love an Ollie's bargain! If I had the space in my suitcase, I'd buy 1 of everything, they had! I've literally just picked up the GMC semi and a couple of pickups from there. I started a new album with my hauls in it.

Jonathon HerringI remember building this kit when I was 16, 21, and 30 (all these numbers have ish attached).I'm lucky I can remember the kit, let alone the exact ages I was. Come to think of it, what age am I now?🤪
Bozzer: I had Ollie's everywhere down in NC. That privilege is denied here in NY. Closest we have is Ocean State Job Lot. Not model friendly but, some supplies can be garnered.
Great work Mr. Gifford. Will be watching happily.

Mr JamesWhat a brilliant paintjob. The finish you've achieved is quite superb.

Kenneth GiffordThanks all. Yeah 2 and a half weeks I guess. I usually don't get to the bench during the week and I let the body sit and cure the blue for a week before I masked it for the silver. The camera helps the quality, there are several boo boos on it. I just like building.

Bill NewcomerI am lucky if I get a sub assembly done in 2.5 weeks. Of course, building 4-5-6 at a time causes bench time to be split up. It does however, keep fingerprints out of the paint.
