*Dodge Revellion *

[rickg]

Here it is 99.9% Done.. ( Except Polish & a Couple Details & Decals ) ..I Need opinions on one thing...How Much Bare Metal to put on the Body??!!....A bit, or the whole nine yards?

[donculley]

well i don't have an answer for you, but that dodge looks sweet !!!

[rwildeone]

Rick, I'd BMF it like a stocker. Great counter point to rest being totally drag. Sort of a "sleeper" look. Or would that be "stealth". I'm just not up to date!(Ha-Ha!)

[johnverkerk]

:oOMG!!!!,,,THAT LOOKS GREAT RICK!!!!! :oNICE DETAIL ON THE CHASSIS AS WELL!!!
Maybe trim around the windows, as for the rest ,,tough call, i think it would look good either way.

PLEASE REPORT TO AISLE 6

PAGING MR BOB PAETH

[fredmellini]

Wow!!!!...looks great Rick!!!..............Yeah, I do not know how the trim is suppose to be on the drag car body, but I would atleast think around the windows.

[modelcitizen]

Awesome job Rick ;D ;D ;D!!!

I'm feelin' window edges and fender/door/quarter panel "rib" trim but that's it.

(One Dry Roasted Nut's opinion )

"Paulie"

In theory, if it was a glass body, it wouldn't have to have any. But, if it was way-old-school like some of the early cars, with a real steel body, you might want it all done. I like it the way it is personally.

[kettlekettle]

That 1 sick build . Love the colour ... love to see it in the completed section.

[ramone]

What an awesome looking build Rick!!!!! I'd say, only trim the windows.

[bronzegiant]

That paint job is wicked! Great work.

[vwcamperman]

Being such a cool body i think i'd go the whole hog with the BMF. That's some nice paint too!

[RatRod]

Very Nice!!!! Great job Rick, one I'd love to add to my collection. As for BMF, well I would go with the box art!!!!

[davea]

It looks great, Rick! Love the paint! I'd leave it as it is!

[Honest Charlie]

Looks great Rick. I'd say go with the box art too.

[Paul B. Canney]

kinda harkens back to the day.........

[flounder]

Wow! That is great. I would go with the box art too.

[rickg]

Thanks for the compliments & suggestions Guys...Like Tim Pointed out, the Two types of Bodies for these older funnies would be ; either Fiberglass, or Acid Dipped ... and with this particular body, having Door lines & trim detail, it would be an acid dipped body....I'm not sure why it has the full trim, but it does; and I guess I should go that route. ...oh, and Yes..I did drill out the tailights & headlights...( the "Purists" will hate me ;D )

[Paul B. Canney]

I don't "get" the headers shooting right into the bodywork.

but then again ,

I never did.

[rickg]

C'mon Paul....That's arranged like that...to . .......................depressurize the inner Body Shell. ;D

[bob paeth]

puff .....puff ..........puff ..... Sorry I'm late. Rick your paint job is faithful down to the last psssst of the airbrush. When I build the prototype all of the chrome trim was painted. Paint because Bare Metal Foil was not on the market yet. The original idea was that the car was an all steel body slightly modified. The original concept had all of the lights bored out ( for detail ? ). I have the original art work for the box art used. There is just one detail in the original art work that was added but not used. On the upper part of the rear fender, the artist Jack Lynnwood and the words " PAETH IS AN IDIOT". I naturally changed that to "driver paeth" on the rear fender instead. If you have the original decal sheet, my name should be there.

I can hardly wait to see the finished product.

Thanks (Again! ) Bob, I had a feeling that the Headlights & tailights should be drilled out, just to add to the realism. I'll have to check my Decal Sheet, although this is the last issue of the kit, so it might not have your name on it?...Bob, do you have Artwork; which varies from the box art used ? ... ... ( - possibly different angles, etc ? ) .....would the size allow for a Scan ? Actually...Scratch That Request Bob...Change that to ANY Artwork, Would be Great To See !!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Here's one from the AFXnscale site Rick. Shows the decal pretty well. I had a set of those decals hear somewhere. I'll keep looking for you.

[rickg]

That Would Be Great !!! - Thanks Charlie !!!

[dbash2006]

chrome it out! the paint is really nice too

[privateer]

HOLY COW!!! That thing is sweeeet!!!! The paint is spectacular! The chassis is outstanding!! I love it.

[bob paeth]

Actually Rick, the original art work that I have is exactly like the box art, down to the opening 'chute and the streaked lights in the background. to my knowledge this kit was only issued one time so my name should be of the decal sheet.

bob

[rickg]

This Is the issue I have Bob...Without your name on the Car; or Decal Sheet ....................... ...........................................................................Also Bob....Check Out my Buddy's Version Of The Revellion, ( In the Completed Section ) He Calls It Revellion 2....I Put Theses pics on awhile ago; but just in case you missed them...
