That is such a sexy car. Great work!?

Outstanding. That’s a beautiful build.?

I think I’m going to strip this one and start again. I got some pretty bad bubbling in the clear coat in the creases on the passenger side. I went to heavy with the my last couple of coats. Yup. It’s getting stripped tonight. Rather do this right and be happy with it. Besides, I need the practice.

I flip back and forth between Tamiya clear red and Model Master stop light red. Depends on the project. The MM is transparent, but is also metallic.

I agree with all that's been said above. Body prepping requires scraping, filling, and sanding mainly. Which technique depends on the flaw you're trying to fix. It might even require all three techniques to fix one problem. The way the process works is, you work on all the problem areas you can see, shoot a coat or two of primer, and look for spots that need more attention. The primer will make them easier to see. Then you repeat the whole process again until all the flaws are fixed. You might get lucky and fix everything first try, but most likely you will repeat the process a few times. Patience is key here. If you miss something, it will become even more obvious when you start painting color or clear coat. Give a shot.

That green is stunning! Gorgeous build.?

Never seen this pro shop before. Cool! Nice job with it.?

Looks great! I remember when these things were everywhere.

Very cool. Weathering looks great! Nice and dusty like it should be.

Your paint work looks terrific. Nice model!?

Beautiful job. Looks great.?

Wow, that looks spectacular. Would love to climb behind the wheel and take a road trip in that thing.?

Finished the shooting the clear this afternoon. I really need to learn to spray thinner coats. Practice practice practice!

Never gonna happen…?

Got this one in primer today. Now I just need to nail down a color for it.

Got the floor pan finished today. I shot the rear suspension the same color as the body. Same with the front suspension (not shown here. I also got another coat of clear shot on the body before the rain started. It’s supposed to let up soon. I’d like to hit it with one more coat later today.

Looks terrific. Very clean build. I love that color.?

That is just stunning. Excellent workmanship throughout.

That looks awesome. Super clean build and great colors. Nice job.

Lots of painting going on today. I’ll update the wip later. But in between coats, I got these decals laid down on a different project.

My wife and I went into town for lunch and hit a couple of the local junk shops. Wasn’t expecting to find anything because I rarely do locally. Found these in two locations. I’ve never even heard of the Pro-Am Leasing Camaro before. Also, mail call today. I ordered this stuff because hey, I want my nails to look pretty when I’m at the bench!?

They look like Revell ‘26 Ford sedan delivery doors to me. Could be wrong though.

Not uncommon right now, but dang it looks good…

That looks great. The stance is mean!?

I started clean up on this one last year. Looks like a really nice kit. Mine had almost no flash at all.
