'67 Dodge Charger

Out of Detail Hell

After putting several builds, back in the box, due to burn out, from too much scratch building/ major detail/ complexity, I decided to Just Build One! I look through my kits and decided to build the Revell '67 Dodge Charger, silver with a red interior. I was going to build it, straight from the box, with just plug wires, I did added a bit more detail, though. I did stop myself from doing some more extensive details because I was still trying to fall back into detail Hell. I decided to build it as a "day 2" car, modifications an owner would have done to the car after buying it. I am also experimenting with weathering, on this build, to make it look "driven".
