Sorry it's not plastic, but a model is a model 
I've bought this diecast Chevy Nomad with a view to doing a bit of customising and a nice paint job. I have too many plates spinning at the moment but since I've made a bit of a start I figured I might as well open a topic and come back once I'm in full flow.
This is the kind of thing that'll influence me, but I don't expect it to be this good!
First job was to strip it down and get the yucky paint off, so I dumped it into a cup of thinners :
And about 15 minutes later:
Here it is naked, although there's always one flake that refuses to budge!
There'll be a fair amount of metal work and filling but I've started by plugging the holes in the bonnet and shaving the door handles:
That's it for now but hopefully I'll be back to this soon.
