1hobby1 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Wow this is turning out to be an amazing build. I just finished the Revell 1969 camaro but it nothing in comparison to this. Really looking forward to seeing this one finished
Scale-Master Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 I made the stripes and applied them. When fully dry I’ll cut the panel lines through.
cobraman Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 So you can cut the panel after the decal is dry and then some setting solution will work on the dry decal ?
IJ001 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Just read all of this thread. I can only echo what the rest of the guys have said, this is fantastic work, and I've already learned so much. Looking forward to seeing this through to the end. Ian.
Scale-Master Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 Exactly Ray. If you try to cut the decal before it is dry it might pull it or move it. (Always use a sharp knife.) I made and added the side marker lights and door & trunk locks. The stripe decals have been “fine-tuned” as mentioned above.
Scale-Master Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks Carl. It is getting close to the final stretch... The final clear is done and once it cures I’ll cut, buff and wax it.
Mooneyzs Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Mark... Nice job on the body. That thing looks great!
VRM Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 First time I've seen this thread - very cool. I would be interested in 3-4 hoods if they were ever cast. BTW - I have seen original cars with the hood with the shorter point just as this one has. They seem to be on more of the '68s. I have also seen original cars with the longer point as in the pic of the blue car. Those hoods seem to show up more often on '67s. There were also some very early 'stinger' hoods that only had the '67 Vette style scoop area - no front point at all (though they did still have the raised centre ridge of the regular Camaro hood). At least two companies made original stinger hoods, Fast Glass and AA Fibreglass, that I know of. I'm not sure if Nickey, Yenko, Motion etc had a preferred vendor, or who it was if they did. So pleeeaaase can I get some hood copies?? Steve
Scale-Master Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 For you Steve... sure.But this hood is already finished.I do have the mold to make more Corvette scoops, and it isn't that big of a deal to graft a scoop onto a Camaro hood then reshape the stinger portion.Maybe give me a call and we figure something out?
mopar_guy1 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I made the stripes and applied them. When fully dry I’ll cut the panel lines through. Wow. I love the way you did your chrome foil. Looks like you rendered the channels to add realism. Totally amazing.
Scale-Master Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks Ben! Cut, waxed and ready for glass…
Scale-Master Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 The glass fits very well on this kit. It’s getting close to being finished…
Ryan S. Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Another excellent build. That is some beautiful paint.
