Sidewinder back next
Built by: Jim Garubba in Sterling, VA
This is my rendition of the Atlantis release of the Sidewinder.
I wanted the build to have more of a rattlesnake tone, so it was painted up in pale gold. Most of the kit's rose chrome was stripped and done up in bronzes and coppers. The only rose chrome I left were the inner wheels and the motometer.
The entire unit (cab, body, fenders, and chassis) was glued together and seams were smoothed before painting.
I also created a set of less-cartoony snake scale decals and modified some online clipart for the side panels. Finally, I added a clear acetate piece to the sunroof.
Thanks for lookin' in. Stay cool!
