[2003 Heritage Camaro Z28 WIP paint update]

Charles,

Yeah, we all have a lot of work to do after purchasing a new kit or resin body. Never seems like the product fits our desires. But that is what makes this a hobby. Otherwise we would be satisfied with buying an already done and painted die cast. But I have to wonder why you complain about having to make changes to something… when that is what this hobby is all about? Are you expecting these things to come out of the box pre-painted? A lot of the work, the wide body for instance, is already done for you. Otherwise, you and I would have probably started with a basic plastic kit and done all the hard work our selves. Lets keep the complaining and negativity out of the forum please.

Resin bodies will never be produced in as nice a quality as a molded plastic body. This is generally because each and every one is hand made!

Oh and another thing, you started with a body that was never intended to be built as a fully detailed car. It was suppose to be built curbside my friend….

I do however, look forward to seeing your progress on what looks to be a cool street machine!

Well I really don't see what was so negative in his comment either.I mean he didn't name any names of the maker of it.Plus if someone gets something that is not what they feel is a decent product I would like to know anyhow.I don't have a wealth of money to throw to sub-standard modeling products.

I too look foward to seeing the completion of this build.

[payhauler 350]

ratrodder,the engine is a GMC supercharged 16 cylinder 2 cycle diesel.Says it held 64 qts of oil!

Steve,the $ value of the paint will probably be close to the cost of the model Actually I', using Krylon so it's like 3 times as much as Testors for the same price :wink:

Jaffa,no idea on the size but here's a pic of the bed by my daughter's vette she's building

Got some more done this evening but I'm not posting anymore pics until I can get some paint on it.

[40 ford taildragger]

Looks good.I have a question tho.Why did you cut the slots in the rear of the roof?Was it to help reshape the rear of the top by making it lay flatter?

[KUBEL-BAJA DONE]

Great build I really like the work you done on the home built rollcage.You done a heck of a good job on it.
