When I built this model, I was suffering from the effects of Diabetic Keto Acidosis, or DKA. 24 hours after I finished this model, is when I really started to feel terrible, and exactly one week after I finished it, I collapsed and came within 5 minutes of dying. Literally, not an exaggeration. Even when I built it, I could barely see...it's amazing it turned out as good as it did.
I know I could have done better, but I have been in a massive slump for several years and wanted to actually finish something, so I overlooked things I would normally address. It really doesn't detract from the finished model too much.
The paint is Testors One Shot Lacquer Inca Gold. Straight on the plastic, no primer, no clearcoat.
Although I love El Caminos and picked up the nickname El Camino Billy on the modeling message boards, I have only built a handful of models of them. I really need to build more, but I keep having paint issues...and I've managed to ruin most of my attempts at building any El Caminos.
