What-if '57 El Camino

Way back when, I had an AFX race track and in the coarse of things I ended up with two Nomads, so I turned one into an El Camino, even though they weren't a thing in 1957.


So, back in January, I wanted to get back into designing something, anything, so I turned my Nomad into an El Camino. I have only built the easiest one with the tonneau cover.


These are designed to be used in 30mm gaming, so there is also an underbelly for those who like to game around cars on their tops and sides

Great idea, and a great little model. Well done.

Thanks. It had been so long since I have had any time to do any builds, much less 'design', so I decided I needed to do something that wouldn't take too long.
