Model kit: AMT 1124
The model of 1967 Chevrolet Impala of TV series Supernatural.
AMT has made a few additions to the normal Impala kit and launched the
Supernatural kit. The boot lid internal sticker is given but the boot
lid is fixed :)
Also, the weapon box is not even declared, let alone being given with the kit.
Since there is
not a center console in the real one, I closed the installation holes
in the shaft tunnel. And, since I would open the boot, I covered the
fuel tank pit with plastic sheet.
I filled the open spaces with plastic sheets, which would be seen when the boot is open.
I carefully cut out the boot lid.
I prepared the interior reinforcement from plastic sheet.
I glued the reinforcement to the lid.
The
rear bumper given with the kit was single piece, incorporating the part
on the lid. I had to separate, but since it was impossible, I made a
mold of the bumper and produced a duplicate from polyester putty.
Then I cut off the part that would stay on the lid. I sanded down the main bumper part to use on the model.
I manufactured the lid resting surfaces from plastic sheets.
I cut the rear glass part where the boot hinge would clash.
I manufactured and fixed the boot hinge.
I made the weapon box from plastic sheet and painted grey. I covered the outside with sticky medical fabric.
I applied the lid decal given with the kit.
Paint
disaster... I applied Alclad chrome to the chromed parts, but the
masking tape peeled the paint off! I applied putty and sanding, then
repainted the model. I applied Bare Metal Foil for the chromed parts.
I prepared the weapon box contents on the computer and made 3D prints.
