Pics 2 & 3 are the ones. The wonderful weathering aside, the modelers attention to details like the tiny FOR SALE sign, flattened tires, rag in the gas tank and buckled floor carpet just put it over the top.

Thanks mate

Funny thing is that I was about to paint it black when I saw the "painting instructions" refering it as gray...
Guess I'll follow your (and mine) advice

Re: Christine model kit - WIP

Just realized, they got the engine wrong. Christine had dual quads

Re: Christine model kit - WIP

Yeap. Had noticed that when researching on the web for the interiors and engine of the Plymouth before starting assembling the kit (just wasn't sure if the models used in the movie had one or two...)

You're very much welcome. I'm glad to see the progress and the results. Are you planning on doing any other versions of Christine from the film?

For the time beeing no, I'm not. But that version of "old" Christine sure is something I'd like to get my hands on (and I very much like weathering kits!). Well maybe later; right now I'll start on another, also movie related kit (something radically diferent )

Sweet! I hope you do the old Christine. I think you'd do it justice.

I just ordered the fret and may dig my Christine kit from the stash and build her -- when I finish a few other half-built projects on my workspace (LOL like I ever do that)
