  1. Tom, I've seen some of your builds on your YouTube channel and they're really nice. I see that your videos feature mostly box stock builds.  Do you do more detailed builds (i e, cut open doors, plum the engine, detail the chassis)?? Also, do you compete in any contests?

    I don't really have the time to go fully insane on detailing with putting out 2 video's a week and keeping the content from getting to boring. I will do more in the future when i get some more time. I don't bother with competition's. Not my thing ;)

     

    The kit builds up pretty nicely, the yellow plastic is a bit of a nightmare when it comes to light color paint jobs, and the wheels need to be replaced. For in the future plamoz will sort that out.

    I started this build off by removing the molded in grills on the front bumper

    Sanded the body down and applied some zero paints primer


    after letting the primer dry off for a little wile i sanded it smooth with 1200 grit sandpaper and applied some Gun metal from zero paints


    Personally i think this is a brute of a car, and thought a matt finish would be awsome, so i applied some zero matt 2 k to finish the body off for now.


    with the body getting some off time i started on the rest of the parts by priming painting and then detailing them out with various colors.












    I test fitted a lot of wheels, though every single one was way to small for the huge wheel wells, i looked up in my stash and found a recent Revell USA Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 kit witch had some extra wheels and tires witch fit perfectly
