Moon Pie

I've got a weakness for Woodies, and that is a great looking Woody!

I was one of the founding members of the Jackson Purchase Automotive Modelers Assoc. in Mayfield. I moved to AZ about 12 years ago, I take it the club did not survive, huh??

Duplicolor Ultramarine Blue.

No. My interior slipped in and right into place. Not a problem at all.

I'll have to work on that. Moon Pie Fotki

Fun build, just to get a newer Camaro in my stable of older Camaros.

Thread was seven ( 7 ) pages back. BTT with an answer.

In my experiance, automotive clear coat is too "hot" for the decals. I've always used Tamiya or Testors clear laquers. To be on the safe side, you can airbrush Future as a clear coat, and remove it with Windex if you mess up.

Don't give up, Mitch! This Revell '09 Camaro took four dips and the "Purple Pool" before I got a paint job I could live with.

Out here in the Mesa, AZ area, the chains, Hobby Town, Hobby Lobby and Michael's are all charging MSRP, and the "Ma & Pa" hobby shop is way under MSRP. Guess who is getting my business.

You've just received real good advice from all of these guys. I have been building since the early 1960's, and it is very seldom that I can lay down a paint job that I am happy with the first time. And I have my very worst luck with my airbrushes, but then... ... I get that one paint job that makes it all worth while. Don't let it get you down. Just go retreive that body from the trash, get back up on that horse and ride it to the ground. Don't let it win. And if you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it here. The knowledge base of the members here is absolutely awesome.

"Erin" '69 Camaro Z28 progress report: Interior: 95% completed Chassis: Completed Engine: Completed Body: First coat of paint.

Really great looking Z/28 !

And my older build:

Very nice '70 SS, Bruno!

I've been working on this one on and off for about a year now, including being repainted about 3 times. When finished, the engine will be wired and plumbed. I gave up on the decals. Absolutely the worst I have ever tried to work with. WAY, way too thin.

Put me down for Erin, 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Erin, RR.

Love the color! What is it?

I'd been wanting an original Mono '30 Ford Woody for a long time, but they are going too high on eBay, so I decided to use an "Early Iron Series" and retro it back to the orginial form. Wheels and tires are from Modelhaus. I sure would like to see Monogram re-release some of the oldies in their orginial form!

Wanted to post something to wish you all a Happy Halloween!

If you plan on selling those, I'd be interested. Looks great!

I take it you are in one of the desert areas of AZ. I have a situation here in the Phoenix valley, where I have to hold off on lacquer paints until like October every year because it is always too hot to paint in my garage during the summer months. You can order your paint in the "cooler" months with no fear of the cans blowing up. I use the Testors enamels and have no problems with the stuff, as a matter of fact, some of my best paint jobs have come from Testors enamel rattle cans. With metallics and metalflakes, if you wet sand, you'll get a blotchy look to them because you are actually removing some of the "depth". I would opt to strip it completely and start over. You might want to check out Testors new One Step lacquers, also, because they do have a gorgeous red metallic.

I made mine from these plans. Used a bathroom exhaust fan and I make sure that the fan is running before I start painting. I've had no problems with mine.

WOW!! That looks great!

Fantastic job! That is one sweet looking ride.
