Mike Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 It's been a long time since I've built a Camaro (favorite car). An Indy 500 CBP on another forum gave me the motivation. The decals were a bit tempermental due to age. I also added some extra plumbing and wiring in the engine bay. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Beautiful! I am working on this kit now. If mine turns out half as nice as yours, I'll be happy. How did you do the woodgrain on the dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you do the woodgrain on the dash? I hand painted it/dry brushed it. I'll send you a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 That Camaro looks spectacular! The '69 Indy pace car has to be my favorite Camaro. I love the white with orange stripes. The orange interior is very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBradKeselowski Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Great looking Camaro I like the pace car versions... White lettered tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreak78 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Very nice! I really like the interior detail and the discoloration in the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Really nice work. The subtle weathering is very good. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeepx Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Looks great, Mike! I really like the work you did on the rally wheels. Nicest Camaro ever made, and you have built a great replica of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefheart22 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Fantastic build Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart-Resins Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Very nice job! Looks terrific. I am supposed to have one coming, minus decals. So I am on the hunt for some. LOL. On the engine bay and the belly shot, is there a yellow/gold tint used, or is that from lighting? Again. Nice job! Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jody It's a mix of base coating the exhaust steel, then drybrushing metallic copper or bronze, gold, & clear yellow and clear blue or using a blue oil paint for a wash.

Smart-Resins Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 That is a terrific touch on that! If only I could learn how to do that and add more realism to some of these Super stockers I have to build! Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 This is a kit I would definitely like to do someday if I can find one. I've got a stupid question. How did you do the two-tone interior, namely the darker parts of the seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 This is a kit I would definitely like to do someday if I can find one. I've got a stupid question. How did you do the two-tone interior, namely the darker parts of the seats? They are actually decals that come with the kit. Printed with the classic "hounds tooth" pattern on them. After a bit of Micro Set to get them to snuggle in to the contours of the seats, I painted them over with flat clear to give them a cloth-like appearance in comparison to the vinyl/leather part of the seat.
