Under... wrap

[ismaelg]

Hello,

   Let's have some fun:  Guess what's under the cover: 

Hint: Not any of my current on-going projects

 

 

I'll post the answer later....

Thanks,

If it helps, here is a close up of the back:

New Corvette or Camaro. The nose reminds me more of the Camaro.

Definitely looks like a new Corvette to me.  Maybe one like the blue "Indy" Corvette pictured on the wall.

With all of the Corvette pictures on the walls behind it, I suppose Corvette would be the safe bet.

Hello again:

Here is the answer:

Sorry, but inside the wrap there is.....

AIR!   

NOTHING!

You see, this hobby is really about lying and deception.  ?

 Cross-processing from the armor side of the hobby, I tried to do a car cover using the tissue paper tarp technique.  I was hoping for a smoother car cover but it was a fun experiment.  I used a Maisto Diecast Corvette as the test subject since the technique uses diluted glue and could affect the model underneath.

Here is the diecast I used. It will need a waxing job to remove some glue residue.  After the cover was dry it was spray painted in very light coats.

I'll keep experimenting to see if I can get a smoother cover, like the satin they use at car unveiling shows.

I hope I got you to smile. If I made you mad I'll gladly refund your money

Thanks,

I knew it was a Corvette shape and I even thought it would be blue... as I thought the pic of the blue vette in the background was a clue because it looked just like the same shape:

Dried white glue should come off your diecast with just warm water. In fact, you might even be able to just peel or scrape it off with a fingernail. It doesn't bond anywhere near permanently with any nonporous (smooth) surface.

Really neat idea, I like it.

Like Bob Ross would have said, it was just a Happy Accident      A coincidence that I just reused the setup for the blue C7 photos.

Been a "cheap" diecast I just hosed it off with the garden hose at full pressure.   

 

Thanks guys, it was a fun experiment.
