Corvette C6r "badboys"

[JHDrew]

Well this was a whirlwind build but I just had to have one of my own after watching it on TV last month. The hard part was creating all those decals and getting them right. I painted Tamiya Chrome Yellow on a sheet of white decal film so I could have a match to the body when I painted it. I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures. I'm saving for a better camera.

Like I did earlier in the on the bench section, here's the real car followed by the model pics:

Revell C6R kit. Tamiya Chrome Yellow and Gloss Black, Sakatsu Aluminum BBS RE wheels. Studio 27 “C†Mesh. Fine Molds Radiator Pattern. Detail master electric fan photoetch. Dexter race position lights. All Custom made decals on Paint Shop Pro.

That is just an absolutely beautiful car. The decaling is immaculate. It would be neat to see it you do the #3 car. Thank you for showing your work.

Jim, Absolutely fantastic!! Like Ismael said, it has attitude and the right look. By far the best looking C6-R in the model world.

Jim,

Others have used all the great adjectives to describe this build, all I can say is that you've created a work of art. This is a model that you'd never get tired at looking at. Well done!

Great job Jim. It will look good sitting next to the Audi.

Now, back to the Scarab!

[JHDrew]

What is this Scarab you speak of?

Great job Jim. It will look good sitting next to the Audi.

Now, back to the Scarab!

I love this car. I really am thinking about investing in a printer that will allow me to do these kinds of decals. I love my semi stock C6-r but this makes it so much more creative. great job!!!

Nothing cooler than skulls on a car! That turned out as mean looking as the real thing. The decals look fantastic, too. Great work, Jim!
