  1. Hi Daniel! i made them with a piece of plastic sheet, just cut them and sand them into shape. Thanks to everybody for your recent positive comments i apreciate them!

  3. Hi! thanks all of you for your comments!!!
  4. Hi! This is my last finished model. It's a restortation, because a year ago it accidentally flyed and got the paint terribly damaged. Hope you like it. The new paint is testors metalizers and the clear is Sherwin Williams urethane. I decided to open the engine cover: The engine cover window was craked during the restortation, as soon as i get a replacement i'll change it. By the way, this is how it used to look: Better or worse??? you choose Thanks for looking!

  15. Hi everybody, A few updates, Finished engine bay: Painting orange the edge of the lights cover, in order to hide cement bubbles: Micromark punch hole set used to make tiny transparent circles: It can make circles from 6mm to 1mm aprox: The little circles were glued inside the lights to achieve a more realistic finish: I started scratch bulding the seat belts locks:
  16. Hi Troy! The panel lines are painted with a flat black "wash": its more or less a drop of black acrylic flat paint and 8 drops of thinner. Once you have your wash mixed apply with a pointed brush, the wash must run throught the panel lines, don“t worry if the wash runs out of the panel line. Some times you have to do this two or three times, depending how deep you want the color. When the wash is dry remove the excess with a q tip with a little polishing compund (i use tamiya fine compound). Corvette letters where made: 1. Semi gloss black tamiya acrylic paint. 2. Coat of Ts-13 clear thorugh the airbrush to protect black paint. 3. Another "wash", this time made with red oleum artist paint and spirit. Apply the red wash, since oleum paints dries in two or three days you have plenty of time to remove excess, in fact it's even easier to do this the next day because the paint is like jelly, again with a q tip this time sunked in spirit, or threbentine remove excess carefully (you don,t want to remove all the paint =)). I chose olium paint because the pigment covers much better that the acrylics wich are a bit transparent. For me the result is better. Hope this helps! =) Len, Tom, thanks for your interest and comments!

  20. it's looking awesome in that color!
  21. Vallejo liquid masking tape also was used to mask the interior: The basic colors applied: And starting with detail painted. I sprayed a coat of Ts-13 Tamiya clear with the airbrush to protect the acrylic paint because i'm thinking in making some light-shadow effects with oleum paints: More soon!
  22. Cigarrete metalic paper was used for the back ligths refelctors: An oleum red wash was used to paint the corvette letters: The under chassis weathered with tamiya's weathering sets, and a bit of dry brushed silver oleum
