Chevrolet 1957 Bel Air Convertible - Multiscale
Shown here are the three multiscale forms of the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. The scales include 1:21 (Miniland scale - most commonly used in my models), 1:28, and 1:43. The 1:43 scale is almost a direct copy (minus the flames and engine detailing) of the model by Fred Ottens' 5-wide Tiny Turbo scale modified 1957 as seen in mocpages:
Fred's original inspiration being a hotwheels model of the same car. Fred's car served as the inspiration for my LUGNuts 58th Build challenge 1:21 model - 'From Mild to Wild', building on the 57th Build Challenge theme, - 'Plain Jane'. Here I have 'unmodified' the form back to the standard convertible in a fairly standard colour scheme.
The Bel Air Convertible model here is part of a series examining the 1957's multiple body forms, in Lego multiscale for LUGNuts 60th Build Challenge, our 5th birthday challenge, featuring Lego vehicular models built to any of the previous challenge themes. Along with the 57th and 58th Challenge themes, the model is also honouring Fred Otten, to the 25th challenge them, - 'I Wanna be Like You' and the 33rd theme, 'Size Matters'.
