  1. I debated for a week whether to post this one or not. It definitely did not turn out as good as I had hoped. The color is a bit paler than the actual car, but I can live with that. The decals did not set or stick very well even with liberal use of micro set and micro sol. What I am most disappointed with myself about is the ride height. I didn't check it at all and realized at final assembly that it was way off. I think it partially has something to do with maybe the roll cage not being installed correctly. Oh well, maybe I'll tear it apart in a few years and fix the height.
  2. I agree, that's a great color. And the beige interior will compliment it very well!
  3. Looking good so far, can't wait to see it done! Where did you get the wheels, I need a set to replicate the Gumball Rally Cobra? I have the Revell kit that has the red Cobra Boxart and it only has the wire wheels.
  4. Got the scoop cut out of the Revell '67 Nickey Camaro hood. A little more filing and sanding and I'll be ready to attach it to the hood.
  5. This has always been my favorite Camaro body style, and despite the mold issue on the body and excessive flash on pretty much every part, the kit is very well detailed and should build up pretty well. I might look into picking up some sealer to spray on before priming.
  6. Looks really good! Those were pretty cool cars back then and you nailed the look! I've had real good success with the Rustoleum 2x sprays, Gloss White and Gloss Apple Red. I regularly use the Satin Canyon Black for interiors and chassis too, and used their white, black and gray primers without issue. It's the 2x clears that are the problem for me. They are very chemically hot and seem to like to attack the paint and decals, even after a couple of weeks to cure the paint, and this is over Rustoleum 2x paint.
  7. Looks great! Awesome paint job and fantastic looking wheels!
  8. Getting started on my next project, the Yellow Camaro from Gumball Rally. I haven't really done a continuous in-progress topic yet, so hopefully I can remember to take pics and update my progress in a reasonable fashion. I also hope I can put up some decent work and not embarrass myself with shoddy work and results?. I thought about waiting a while on this build until the new full bumper Camaro kit from AMT came out for better turn signal accuracy, but I'm hearing it's going to be delayed until at least September and I really don't want to wait til then at minimum, so it'll be a test of my skills for sure. First thing I have to do is fix the shoddy mold on the passenger front fender. Thanks for looking!

  19. Fantastic job and excellent details! This one's on my to do list real soon, as that is one of my all time favorite movies.
  20. I love it! It's got that perfect neglected please restore me look!
  21. Outstanding! Very nice low, mean look.
  22. Looks like you had a nice collection there. Like most of us, I don't still have any of my kits from my youth in the 80's into my 20's in the early 90's. I have a few pics like yourself to remember some of them by, but seriously wish I could have them back, lol.
  23. Finished up the Scooby Doo on Zombie Island car driven by Jerry Nadeau. I used the Johnny Benson Cheerios #26 car as a donor and crappy decals I got from teresawulf on ebay, thankfully only bought one set and learned my lesson there. Probably should have just bought the actual kit of this one, but I thought I'd save a buck or two and paid for it in bad quality. I missed a few details and lost a couple of frame braces along the way, but I'm fairly happy with it anyways. Whenever I finally get a display case, it should look good in it. Thanks for looking.
  24. Actually looks pretty good in pink. I'm sure your daughter will love it.
