Hey all, just wondering how many of us have "mini" versions of their cars? Here's mine. I know it's a '70, but it's the closest available.

I started with Ertl's version of the all-white '70 SX. I chose this because it was already white with the black pin stripes. All I had to was add the vinyl top, paint the interior, add the rear wing, hood stripes and wheels. I also added the pinstripe to the wing.
To simulate the top, I found some green cloth tape on the innerweb. I laid it out on the 1/18 and once everything was how I wanted it, I just trimmed around the windows, added some bare metal foil and called it good.

When I first did the mods, it was based on when I had the twin scoop hood. I salvaged the scoop and rear wing from Ertl's '69 Hurst/Olds. Here's some pics of my real car and the 1/18 at that time.





Since I installed the striped hood on my real car, I needed to "update" the 1/18 as well. After poking around eBay, I found a set of decals from a Dave Strickler drag Camaro, and that's where I got the hood stripes. I also added an Oldsmobile logo to the rear window to compliment my real car. Again, not quite the same, but close enough.

So here's what it looks like after the "update."









So...there ya go. Now, whatchoo got?😀

 

Nice thats a better reproduction than the tpp clock lol

I have a 72 Supreme Convertible. This is the closest I could find to it.

 

I have a mini-Nova The Queen got me a few years ago. I also have art caricatures of both cars. See avatar.

 

Here are pics of the Mini Nova. The Queen couldn't locate the right color and I'm not mad enough at it to paint it.

Sorry the pictures are so damned big...
