Revell 66 Chevelle Station Wagon “California Wheels” 85-2890
This is the results from watching too many YT demo derby videos, also known as “Bangers” in other countries. I took this Chevelle Wagon and went to town beating it down.
The body was first painted red to help the scratches and bangs really show up, as if the car was once red. The top coat is ppg basecoat (no clear) to simulate a dull finish. The interior tub is hogged out to look like the door panels are all removed and the battery and gas can are also inside the car.
I spent a few nights just slowly heating and forming the rear, I also added some loose material after studying many pics of wrecks. Where ever possible, I thinned out the plastic to help get more of a sheet metal feel.
All in all, I had a great time building it and will certainly be doing more! I think next one will be more late model, If there is anything available. I know there would be in resin but hmmm, not sure how well that material takes to be heated.
