crowe-t Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Tyrone, This is a beautiful build, one of your best yet! It looks like the real thing under the hood. It's hard to believe this is a 1/25 scale car. What color are you planning on for this one? If you don't have any color in mind yet, might I suggest a Candy Blue over silver. A friend had a couple of Camaros back in the day, '67 & '68, that were both candy blue over silver. The '67 was the street car and the '68 was a Super Pro Bracket car he ran at Englishtown, NJ. That color really looked great on Camaros. How does this Revell Camaro body compare to the AMT 67/68 Camaro bodies? It looks accurate in the pictures but I haven't picked one of these up yet. Mike.

tyrone Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Body work is almost done... I removed the lower side moldings, and added another light coat of primer.. still a few spots to fix.. then it will be time for paint... I'm leaning towards black with white bumble bee stripe... I also added some Strange decals to rear axles.. thanks for looking and comments welcome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Looks great, Tyrone. Can you explain, briefly, how you construct your wheelie bar nets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Looks great, Tyrone. Can you explain, briefly, how you construct your wheelie bar nets? Scott... I use medical tape, colored with a black sharpie.. I cut thin strips and installed, the horizontal pieces first.. the I install the vietical pieces last leaving enough tape to fold over and catch on the bottom side... I put a small dab of super glue on in case the adhesive on tape gets weak too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belugawrx Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hey Tyrone That looks absolutely stunning ! First shot with the airbrush is amazing What paints, thinners, etc. do you use ? I gotta say I've watched this one from the start,...Fantastic amount of detail here Thanks for the show so far Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks alot Bruce I really appreciate it.. I used model masters gloss black thinned down with just plain ole air brush thinner from testors... my wife got me an airbrush and compressor from Harbor Freight for x-mas and this was my first time using it.. I had a cheap one before that I was using the compressed cans on before I got this one.. I think it turned out good considering I know nothing about air brushes... but I like it more than rattle cans... thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Tyrone, the paint looks fantastic! Using an airbrush definitely give more control and allows for a thinner, and more in scale paint job. Great work on the chassis! Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi Tyrone, I am always so impressed when you show these pics when you are pretty much done with the chassis work. To compare these to pics from page one is just mind blowing !!!! Keep up the awesome work !!! Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
