’73 Camaro


Scale-Master

Recommended Posts

I made decals for the gauges; the lighting isn’t the best so the shadows are blocking the small ones, (fuel, amps, temp and clock gauges). 

I didn’t make a decal for the tach.   Seemed like a waste of time drawing it and then putting the AutoMeter tach in front of it.  I can’t see the factory tach in the real car.  (I don’t even know if it still works.)

The sealer-clear coat was sanded out but not polished or waxed.  Custom made stripe decals have been applied. 

On the real car I chose to paint the stripes with hard point corners on the inboard edges (like a Chevelle) instead of the factory stock round radiuses.  I think it accents the pointy nose better. 

Still a few more decals to add before clearing it…

Thanks a lot Chris!

All the decals were applied a week or two ago and since I was shooting my Corvette, I shot the clear on this too.
