Brandriet16 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 A fantastic 1:1 and the scale model is turning out great as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 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.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Shot the base color (Admiral/Cloisonné) blue from the original touch up paint I had for the real car, with a coat of intra-clear to seal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbazzarex Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 love the wheels, are they from the 3rd gen trans am gta kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 This is really looking great. Nice work on the dash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 love the wheels, are they from the 3rd gen trans am gta kit?Sort of... I cast copies and cut them apart then made fronts and rears with the proper offsets. The GTA kit wheels are the same on all four corners; they shouldn't be.

mustang1989 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Man that paint looks spectacular from here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Thanks. But it is far from perfect, it's just a sealer so I can apply the stripes. First it will be color sanded, then decals and then it will get cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Mark... This build is coming along quite nicely. I love the color you have gone with on this one. keep up the great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 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… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Mark.... That looks great with the White Stripes. I really think having the stripes come to a hard corner looks way better than if you were to of made them round. I like the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Mark, It looks fantastic! I like the inner hard point corners of the stripes much better!Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) 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.

Scale-Master Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks guys. I decided to do some interior work... I machined a set of aftermarket Auto Meter gauges from aluminum. A vacuum gauge, tach, and oil press & water temp. I made decals for the faces and installed the tach and vacuum gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
