hi I'm Florentine and because of you I approached the world of 1/24-1/25. Joking aside, you're really good and seeing your work, I'm dying of it. Keep it up!👍

[@jacoblammas7223]

I've just made this model. I'm only 9 years old. I've never built a model before. and it terned out GREAT!!!!

[@jeffyoung2890]

Listen man, I don't really care for "Snap-Tite" or "Curbside" models. But you ALWAYS make every-single build/video SO gosh-darn entertaining that I still watch the whole thing & love it dude! LOVE how you weathered this car man, I mean it's just so realistic looking! Thanks for your awesomeness brutha, and see you in the next video!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jeff, I like any kit!

[@lancebuttox9637]

Doesn't matter if it's 30 or 300 pieces, snap or glue, plastic or resin, as long as we have fun with this crazy hobby of ours. Looks terrific, your enthusiasm is inspiring, another enjoyable video, thank you

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Lance, being a kit snob is no fun, people miss out!

[@mikesawyer4707]

She looks like a real barn find. Great build.

[@theelectricyeti8622]

WOW! To look at this you would never think this was a snap together kit. Your weathering techniques were awesome, the way you weathered the upholstery in particular. Truly awesome build and a highlight of your channel to be sure. Thank you for sharing!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot!

[@calvingifford9442]

Love this build! Definitely on my wishlist now!! "The back seats don't get worn nearly as much as the front - unless you're a teenager..." ROFLMAO!!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Calvin! facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop

[@lordmellis7135]

Today's booth music is both calming & relaxing Great build as always

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@freedomring4813]

Dont care for snap together model kits but you do one hell of a job to make it look real!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@leterguyschroeder4919]

I owned one just about that color back in the day, drove it nonstop from San Diego to Omaha changing duty stations, great build.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@adamthaxton3157]

I just bought one of these to mod up for a personal project, and that trick with the tape is amazing, I'll give it a shot.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@jamiesale9460]

another gem. Shows that we can use our imagination combined with powers of observation (tape, fading, sanding, grime) and have some great fun. Great intro for those who want to try but may leery.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you James!

[@chrisC052]

Chris, you out did yourself with this build. Again a simple kit made into a masterpiece. Always love the "back story". Great color choice on the body and interior. Well done sir.

[@hpiguy]

Muchas Gracias Chris!

[@bigchef2112]

Excellent build Chris. Love your weathering.

[@hpiguy]

Glad you like it!

[@MarkMeadows90]

That molded black color looks superb! I would leave it as is if there is no imperfections like mold lines and sink marks. I would polish the body with some wax and build as is.

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

You knocked this one out of the park Chris, well done!....Bill

[@hpiguy]

Muchas Gracias Bill!

[@scoopstroop85]

I've been researching and I'm excited to try this with my 9 year old son. I love the rustic look!

[@hpiguy]

Have fun!

[@dominikw8820]

Snap kits can be fun - you nailed it!

[@hpiguy]

They sure can be!

[@ronroberts2453]

Really well done build and presentation Chris!!! Weathering deminstration is spot on! Craft paints are cheap and user friendly! !

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Ron!

[@jonathangodwin9410]

Great video for those that may be new or just starting out all good tips. That all of us old modelers take for granted. I will say it would be harder to do up a snap fit kit from back in the day. They just didn't fit together as well as they do today. They have come a long way. Nice work as always. I'm going to stop telling you, cause we both know already the outcome. LOL....😁 Have a great rest of the week! See you next time!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jon!

[@rocktigerdesign]

Your videos are always super amazing to watch... not just educational, but you are an amazing entertainer too. :) Keep coming back and not sure why I have not subscribed before... so here it is. :)

Thanks for all the weathering tips - looks like someone just found it in an old barn, and has started working on it.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Mary!

[@sonnyd.6777]

Great build, great weathering finish. My grand dad had one and the color was light aqua blue.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks man!

[@13Dixiefried]

I like that you added the "how to" in with the video. Since there isn't much to assemble.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@radioactivelarry]

Looks like a million bucks, all green and crusty. Another good build.That's cool Model Roundup has the pictures of your 57 Chevy build.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Larry, yeah they put the watermark on for me and everything. Good peeps!

[@claytonmcclain182]

Built 3 of them in my life and loved them. Great job.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Clay!

[@mirogula]

That's really good looking weathering.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Nice kit - for sure. And Cost Effective (cheap). For the price of a 1:18 Die Cast you could build FOUR or FIVE of this kit!! Your very own '57 Chev car show - at home. Oh, and Chris, I gotta say it again - you have a 'nack' for doing this very thing - using multiple skill sets. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing...

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot man!

You are one heck of a model builder my friend

[@hpiguy]

Thanks a lot!

'57 Chevy is my dream car. Midnight black with Chrome wire rims with white walls. Have a skull hood ornement and a 8 ball gear knob. Red leather interier with black trim. I can dream

[@zacleysscalemodels2150]

'57 Chevy is mine too. Cherry Red body and steel wheels, Chrome trim, White Roof. Cherry and White interior, chrome trim Shifter as tall as the dash, with and an 8 ball gear knob. I dream too.

[@michaeldenapoli7798]

Wow Chris you totally made this look like a barn find! If they'd included some stock wheels it would have looked like a total barn find. I love how you simulated the growth of nature all over the body. I gotta get over my "showroom condition" perfection of building kits

[@hpiguy]

Some steelies and mismatched white walls would be awesome!

Rusty and crusty, just how I like ‘em! Looks heaps good mate, thanks for the weathering tips 🍻

Thank you Dale!

[@darthdevious]

I love working with craft paints. I use them on most of my Bandai Star Wars builds, and I even use them to customize Transformers to give them wear and tear.

[@hpiguy]

Yup!

[@markbuterbuagh4971]

Very nice i like the trick on the seat's.

Thanks Mark, I'll keep trying and see if I can make it even better!

[@shanes3060]

Sweet! Love a crusty 57 Chevy !

[@hpiguy]

Right on!

[@davidwilliams1201]

I love it. I get snap tires and usually build them up according to the instructions. I have been wanting to do weathering on hotwheels but thought they would be too small. I think I'll try it on a few models. My local hobby lobby just had a tremendous sale on their models $21 and $30 down to $7.47 and $8.29 so I bought of each

[@hpiguy]

Thanks David!

I've watched a few of your vids now, and have really enjoyed them, so as a new viewer I thought I'd throw you a sub and a like. We don't get a lot of the kits you build in the UK (at least, I can't find a lot of them) but I'm slowly building a list for an overseas order! Thanks for building and sharing, keep up the great work and amazing finishes to your motors. Thanks again, it's much appreciated.

Hi Chris...Revell offered this kit pre-painted in White over Tropjcal Turquoise (2 tone paint job) with whitewalls and factory stock wheels. It's beautiful, but nicer are the Revell "Promo" 57 Chevys, detailed and pre-assembled and available on 2 tone Blue and 2 tone Green. I have them all, I love building my models showroom stock :-)

[@hpiguy]

Very cool!

[@chrisclinton5424]

Very nice! I can see it tearing down a gravel/dirt road, kicking up a lot of dust! Noticed the back bumper looks a bit loose- duct tape might help. Great job!

another tip for weathering seats is to use tissue paper with white glue, and scrunch it up and paint the creases with dry brushing

Great build 👍 I prefer the 55 out of the three, but that's just personal choice. You may not be aware, but in the UK the "Fleetline" is a double-deck bus chassis made by Daimler UK between 1960 and 1979

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Andy!

[@dc_modelworks]

She's rusty, she's crusty and she still looks darn good for what condition she's in. That "labor intensive" initial assembly of the interior didn't slow your roll one bit lol.

[@hpiguy]

LOL, yeah, it was nerve wracking to get that seat pushed in.

[@TimShredder]

So the 10+ yrs on the box means the sub-assembly time? lol Awesome stuff. Looks better than the regular lvl 2 '57. Great idea to use tape for the interior and all that weathering looks super!
