W-409 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 You do fantastic work with this one. I like that detailing very much, it looks just like 1:1 car. Over all it looks excellent to me, oh and those wheels are super cool! For inspiration, Robert Joosten's Camaro ProMod at Alastaro, 2011.

doomcrew Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Saw that camaro in the latest edition of Custom Car, when it features a report on the NitrOlympicX event in Germany. Unfortunately due to grip issues of the track, it went nose first in to the barrier, but not serious thankfully. Well I have chosen a colour scheme, and................... you will see it when the main colour goes on. Got the wheel tubs done, and I was going to put carbon transfers on them, but chose the flat black instead. Also started to prep the body and inserted 4mm magnets to make sure the doors stay closed. Had to fix a problem with the right hand side headers. All the constant handling, loosened the exhaust. stay tuned steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Your chassis is out-of-this-world, Steve - and I love your wheels... Super job, bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomcrew Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Paint is finally being laid on. I have started with a black base, with a pearl red colour coat. This will be followed by a crystal red, which is a colour changing pearl metalflake. Just waiting for a suitable size case to this in. Thanks for looking.

TedsModeling Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wow, what a beautiful build, Steve. One of the best detailed, cleanest engines I've seen. I can't find a flaw, ragged edge or mis-paint in any of the closeups. I can't see how the seat turned out. Your last shots showed blue 'pads'. Did you cover these or paint them? I forgot the name of the material you make your parts out of, but you absolutely need to make a tutorial of your process. Many of us would benefit from it.

doomcrew Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks guys. The pads on the seat were cut and shaped from the foam found inside of one of my airbrush boxes. Here is the next stage of the paint. Crystal red from Specialist Paints was applied and two coats of clear to seal it, ready for the airbrushing. Also got the case delivered, and let me tell you, it was a close thing, with 2mm clearance at each end. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomcrew Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Cheers. Got the airbrushing done along with the sponsorship decals, grill and headlights. Just waiting some clear to arrive. Quite happy on how the airbrush work has turned out, and it was how I wanted it. Thought about adding lettering, but I will make a plaque for that.

doomcrew Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Got the clear coat on, and just waiting for it to cure before I polish it. Started to get the windows sorted along with the rear lights. The rear and side windows, are cut from clear sheet, the front is from an MPC 1/16 Firebird. The rear lights are two sets of custom lights from a 1/25 AMT 57 Ford. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
