Candy paint and a remarkable finish! I guess you used Bare Metal foil on the dash and everywhere?
The drybrushing on the engine and chassis looks so good! Was the very detailled carb part of the kit?

I love the color choice. May be some pics in the sunlight to make it pop even more.

Thanks. Yes, I used BMF on the door panels and exterior. Dash was 3 pieces, one chromed. Used a wash on it. Carb is kit part used a wash on it as well. Will have to try some outdoor pics sometime.

That is way cool. Like the candy colors, too. Chrome work is gorgeous.

Thanks. It's actually not a candy, it is metallic, I tried to match 56 Chevy Dusk Plum.

:yikes: Outstanding! I've done a 1957 Nomad kit but never did a 1956 Nomad. I love the color choice you used.
