Modeling a 1/48th scale 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air

A near proportional model with very basic details.  I thought I was saying the words.  It's exactly my take on what is needed.  Our trains are the focus, not the cars.  So long as the car model is recognizable for what it is, good!  And the '54 Chevy sedan is on my WANTED list.  I wish you luck.

Excellent - you're on your way.  You go, guy!

Interesting thread, I'll be checking in often!

What is the material being used for the car, clay or something else?

This model is made from wood.  It needs to be sturdy enough so that it could be used to make rubber molds. For molding purposes all surfaces would need to be sealed. For this model the casting would be done in two halves (left and right sides of the model).

I would think you could take the 1954 Pontiac  by Premium X and modify it to a Chevy a lot easier.  I've considered it and loloked at the options and it ought to be do-able, but have too many other projects ahead of it.  It's 1:43, but like I said i prefer that.
