Renee's 1956 Nomad

[Gator]

Still plugging away at the Nomad. I had to switch gears on the paint colors. Last week my sinuses flaired up and I had a bad sore throat. Then it hit me, I have been spraying lacquer spray paint and I'm allergic to all enamels. So, I found some Model Master Acrylic Kandy Scarlet at the hobby shop and will substitute Vallejo's oily steel for the metallic charcoal.

I did get some work done on the interior. Since this is a "modern" daily driver, I upgraded the seat belts to three point seat belts.

This was my pattern...

And this is the retrofit on the front seat...

I'll hit it with a sanding stick to get closer to scale.

That is a real nice color, Kenny. It will look smashing on that wagon.

Thank you guys. I wish I had some progress photos for y'all. I worked on the Nomad's interior today and it was one step forward and two steps back.

That's model building ain't it?

After looking at some photos, I did add some piping to the seats.
