The idea came afer finishing the 1958 Corvette C1 by Revell. A very nice kit. I wanted to paint it unusual because it's a kind of boring to see another red with white Corvette. I was looking for something different. So I tumbled over a light gold with black C1. This is what I wanted to paint. Black inserts on Gold. Afterwards I'm glad, that my paint wasn't enough for it. So I decided to paint it silver. The fact, that I hat teh Foose C7 already in my shelf, it would fit perfectly to it. A good plan! Aditionaly to that, I was thinking about to build each Generation in silver with black. That was the start of the ides to my "Silver Corvette Collection". A look into my shelf was disapointing: only one kit was there - and that was the 4 door C3 by Monogram. No way. I went on to buy a lot of kits in January till March 2019 (34). Now I was able to built my 7 Generations One main Point is, to Show the Evolution of the design of the Corvette. For that reason I decided, to paint them the same Color all over. Nothing has to be different. The design is in the foregroung. I did the same with the Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am in red. Another Information: they all are painted with the same Color: Revell email #99 to be on the safe side. Every model kit is protected by 2K clear cote. Everything made by airbrush. The kits, which are already done, will be in order of the "real" year of built. The kits, which will be built this year will be added whether in order they are built or at the end ot the year. I don't know so far. Definitely I'll add the convertibles this year. The 1975 C3 and 1998 C5 are in Progress.

So cool to see this rar kit built up! Very nice. The paintjob Looks awesome!

Yes, I know the issues on the 3rd Gen Firebird / Trans Am kits very well. But with the mood and patient you can get a pretty nice model. Your's looking good. I like it.

Well done! Interessting Color you've Chosen. It Looks so different with the steel rims. Like it! You did a very good Job on the Body work. Nice Details.

2004 Corvette Z06 Le Mans Commemorative edition, Revell, 1/25
christian-w replied to Matt Bacon's topic in Model Cars
Absolut stunnig! Beautiful! I'm on the same kit (C5 Z06) and can confirm what you wrote. It fits very well and some points of the instruction sheet aren't that clear to figure out, what's Right. The second kit, I'm on, is the convertible C5 by AMT. There are a couple differences and on my point of view is the Revell kit the better one. One great advantage of the Revell kit is the one-piece-body. The rear bumper is a seperatly by AMT or that "license plate" insert at the front bumper. I like the Color of your Corvette. Beautiful. How did you do this with the engine hood? The hinges are extra pieces. Isn't it that way, that I have to choose betwenn the open or closed Option? btw: did you male the rear spoiler of the C7 by your own? C2 and C7 Looking Pretty nice as well. -
Sure! Use a clean / neutral Background. Then it s easier to get the object sharp and Nothing else disturbes the object. I handle i that way, that I don't take Pictures to close to the object. Because of the fact, that the near parts are sharp and the rear are Dizzy. I use the digital zoom for it. The light is also important. If it's to dark, the Pictures come out Dizzy automatically. I use LED or neon light. Two are enough. And: I'll check the Pictures first before I use them
