leereyn Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I've been working on this for a couple of months now. I'm pretty happy with the results. The car is built from two 1/20 kits. Main kit it the MPC Stinger Corvette and a parts donor kit is the Monogram Corvette Coupe. I tried to get a few more angles, but these were the only ones I was happy with. The 1:1 I've owned since 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lombardo Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Wow, that is a great job! You got the look just right, there a so few minor differences that they aren't worth noting. Very nice pair of cars. One of these days I just may need to get an older vette....all it takes is avalible cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGary Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 If ya haven't figured it out yet, the model is sitting on a black surface. Great job. And its white instead of ivory. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Build Up Boy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 LEE- That's a remarkable job on your minuature and from what it looks like the 1:1 also. Are you a member of the NCRS by any chance? You should join up with that stunning example. I wish someone made 1/20 a kit for my 74 convertible but all that's out there is the 1/24 scale. The guys on the NCRS board are always kiddin' me that what do I need a model for when I've got the real thing to work on, some people just don't get it. GREAT job!

crispy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Nice work! I'm not a huge fan of that era in Corvette's. But the lines of this car make up for the wheezy engine. You did a great job on the model. Is your real car white too? My eyes and this computer show sort of a cream like color. Anyway, great job. I like them both!

leereyn Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Thanks for all the compliments. A couple of you mentioned or asked about the color. The 1:1s color is called frost beige. The closest color I could find at Wally World was ivory. I took a few indoor shots in my light tent but they looked awful so I took it outside to get natural light. Midnightprowler you mentioned getting my angles lower. I had some that were too low. I was trying to replicate the pics of the 1:1 and I think I came close. Marty No, I'm not a member of NCRS. I'll look into joining. Edited August 6, 2009 by leereyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
