Boyz need some cash for racing this summer.

Going to build this 1955 Belair Nomad into a promotional piece for a local bar.

Started out life as a 1/32 and will be built on a Scally NASCAR chassis and power plant.

Going to be a two tone Champagne Gold and Nassau Blue Metallic.

I've said it before, those Boyz have style. Nomad is definitely the best looking wagon ever released.

Boyz drenched the Nomad in Champagne Gold tonight.

The photo skills of the Boyz does not do the color justice!!!

Next is the Nassau Blue, with the Boyz going to take some risk in the two tone lines.

A Nomad Denny, very cool mate.
Wherever did you find that body? They are my wife's favourite car, but chances are she'll never get a 1:1 version at Todays prices, I'd love to make her one in 1/32.

The gold looks great and I cant wait to see progress on it.

Ted, Gunze Sangyo do a plastic static kit in 1/32. They occasionally appear on eBay or you can purchase them through HobbyLink Japan.

Boyz added the Nassau Blue Metallic to the Nomads color scheme today.

Next hang some chrome, looking at some chrome hub caps, and last the interior.
