Aussie muscle...Chrysler Valiant Charger

Postby munter » Thu Apr 09, 2015 2:24 pm

A mate gave me a diecast of this car so after an embarrassingly long gestation period I have fianlly moulded and cast a few bodies.
Here is my build up. I have some decals from Pattos still to apply.
I used a narrowed slotit Porche 956 chassis.
I have learned that silver isnt the best colour for adding in painted details once the body colour is on.

The mould is young. I have two on order so far.
These are slush casts that need some knife work to open up the windows and arches but once trimmed weigh about 26-29 grams.

My silver one is 29 grams as you see it.
