1959 Chevy El Camino Completed

Got the 59 EL Camino finished up this morning. It turned out pretty good and I'm digging the two tone color.

[@derrellreynolds6226]

She is beautiful indeed. Awesome work sirrrrrrrrrr. Thank you for sharing. 👍 ❤

[@olezippi]

You bet, thank for stopping by.

[@garedog1181]

Mr. Zippi, just plain DIG what you're doing. You are very informative and educational, love how you've moved on from rattle cans to air brushing and helped motivate me to try. Thanks for keeping us updated with your latest build.

[@olezippi]

I appreciate the kind words man. Thanks. I subbed your Channel.

[@ramblers69]

Really turned out awesome buddy

[@olezippi]

Much appreciated Buddy.

[@patrickobrien2968]

It looks amazing ! The colour combo is beautiful and really sets the model off. As far as the front bumper goes, an old uncle of mine used to say "a galloping horse going by would never notice it".

[@olezippi]

Thanks Patrick. I like your Uncles saying.

[@petermerz2704]

[@papasmodelcarroom8450]

Well Zippi another BEAUTIFUL BUILD.
I really enjoy your builds you have a nack for building them extremely clean well detailed. It pretty encouraging to this old blind fart, I think I might tackle the
El Camino I've had...... for a long long time.
All that foiling scares the crap out of me to lol.

[@olezippi]

Thanks papa. Yeah, that bmf will get next to ya really quick.

[@johnclemans7802]

The color combo looks nice! I live in Southern California, it's been raining like crazy here. Not good painting weather. Keep up the great work

[@olezippi]

Thanks. Yeah, wet and humid doesn't work well with painting.

[@LarrysModelShop]

Ah, those colors work so well together! Man, that came out awesome! Very well done on this kit.

[@olezippi]

Thanks a bunch Larry.

[@TheDracfink]

Great job Zippi. yeah ballzy with the BMF for sure guy.👍

[@olezippi]

[@JoeMartinez-eb3xc]

I've always liked the '59 Impala, loads of character on that body style. Top notch work there sir, I'd be proud too!

[@olezippi]

Thanks man. Yeah, the bmf seems hit and miss.

[@mayberrymodelmadness5838]

I love it. Looks awesome. The little touch of orange makes it. Otherwise it's just an El Camino. Now it's classy with that orange. You're killing it Zippi. Two thumbs up!

[@olezippi]

I appreciate the kind words man. I think the orange did the trick on this one.

[@TheModelingHermit]

That's looking sharp. I've built many examples of this kit over the last half century, and I have never liked doing that fine chrome work.

[@olezippi]

Thanks man. It was a lot of foil but I powered threw it.
