bill w Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 I finally finished the engine bay, just a few minor details to do. I need to go on to another area, so I'm going to start on the interior just for a little change. Here are a few pics.

cortinanut Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I only now stumbled on this thread and am just flabbergasted. Work like this I can only compare to things like the scale Ferrari V12 that runs ( ) or the 1:6 Duesenberg that is being displayed at Amelia Island next month (http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/01/20/keep-repeating-this-isnt-real/). Mind-blowing stuff, Bill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviltwincustoms Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Man Bill this is just amazing work. If the car wasn't on a white background I would have sworn it was a pic of a 1:1. I have.to ask just because you have so much detail in this build,. Did you the separate the inner fender from the rest and make it so they bolt up like a real one as well? I have already said it but WOW THIS IS AMAZING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill w Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks Bart, much appreciated. Yes the inner fender is a separate part and it does bolt to the fender. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaftygas Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 We need more updates on this car Bill. Please tell us you are still out there some were hooking up with Revell, or Monogram cutting a deal. Ha Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill w Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Joe I'm still working on the Camaro, I took the summer off and did projects around the house plus some honey-do things. I started finishing the details on the body, basicly getting all the panel lines the same and making the doors, trunk, and hood open properly. Also I still have a few parts too make. Then it will be painting time. Thanks for your interest! Bill Edited November 16, 2014 by bill w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Torres Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Trully amazing Bill.. allways very impressive to see them pictures...looks so real.. hope you finish it soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris D Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Alright, I see what is going on here, this is not a model but an actual car made to look small. This is all trickery with smoke, mirrors, and magical camera tricks. Ughh, I am going back to playing with Lincoln Logs, much better suited to my modeling skills. Just amazing work, I don't have words... Chris D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clovis Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 My goodness. That is simply unbelievable work!!Reading a thread like this, and seeing such an amazing build, well, it makes me depressed.I am hoping to build the new Revell Foose Camaro, and am hoping to create spark plug wires for the first time in my life. I am also hoping not to get glue on the windshield, LOL.This is simply an astonishing build, and I am thankful that you shared it, but it also makes me realize how much I suck at building.
