  3. this is the 1/24 scale monogram 1992 Pontiac firebird formula kit which I got in a trade with customline I had to replace the rear windshield with a spare rear windshield from a 1/24 scale aoshima knight rider season 4 KITT kit as I accidentally snapped it in two trying to remove the bow the rear windshield glass had I used a set of 1/25 scale amt 2016 camaro wheels I made the hubcaps with some buttons I also had to make the 1992 Lenovo laptop and KARR's could which is hardwired into the laptop I actually wrote a whole story for this model i have a cover of a song called soul survivor which was used in the knight rider season 2 episode of the same name as the song playing in the background of the video for most of the run time but had a slowed down version of the knight rider theme playing at the end while showing the engine
  4. very nice work were did you find those contemporary clothed figures in the first few pics i could use sets of those for making figures to put around models most of the ones i can find are a bit more vintage style casual clothed figures or more black tie / formal clothed figures

  10. I used the amt/ertl 91 firebird gta kit with the yellow painted gta on the box which I got in a trade from a friend I modified a random rear window that was in model car glass parts bin and used a thin piece of styrene sheet to fill in the trunk area on the body I decided to do the t-tops as removable roof panels instead of glass panels I sanded off the gta lettering and emblems I also replaced the radio and climate control unit with a touch screen infotainment screen and also replaced the factory stock steering wheel with a knight rider gull wing one and added a knight rider upper console console and did a rim swap with a set of spare turbocast with bowling ball hub caps I added a red Trans am name plate decal to the nose and painted the body and the bowling ball hub caps rust-oleum metallic black night metallic and I painted the interior pan rust-oleum satin French beige and hand painted the interior roof and the interior side of the t-tops with applebarrel beachcomber beige acrylic paint

  19. Thank you the 3rd and 4th gen firebirds are the only years I like the design and look of mainly cause KITT from knight rider and the 4th gen cause they looked just a cool and better then the way to rounded edges of the 4th gen Camaro which is one of the the only two gens for the Camaro I don’t like the other is the 6th gen Camaro mainly cause I do not like that oversized lower air dam and narrow short grille it just looks unbalanced unlike the way it looked in the 5th gen as for the Camaro 4th gen it was to many rounded edges and Camaros look better with more angular sharper edges
  20. Thank you
  21. Thank you
  22. Thank you
  23. thank you
  24. I ordered the wrong late 2nd gen firebird kit I did not realize that the custom widebody fender flares and custom rear spoiler and custom hood bulge would be molded in as this kit was marked as a build one of two ways only to find out that it only applied to the decals not the model itself and the plastic used to make the kit was denser then normal styrene so it made cutting away the custom spoiler and custom widebody flares and the section of the body that I had to remove for the 3rd gen rear window and to remove the parts of the lower section of the nose of the car used putty to fill in the wheel well openings to look more stock I did a wheel swap with ones that were closer to the ones on the concept car I used a spare taillight panel from a aoshima knight rider season 4 KITT kit and three of the sticker decals from the late 2nd gen firebird kit and I modified the dash top and replaced radio/climate controls with 3rd gen ones and added a shifter which was not included in the kit I added 3rd gen door armrests which ment I had to do a front seat swap since the kit ones did not fit with the door armrests this kit did not turn out very good I plan to get another late 2nd gen firebird kit that is factory stock and remake this model better For the actual concept car it was built in July of 1979 I included the picture I found and used a reference when making this model
  25. Nice work
