Time goes by so fast... I already destroy mine a bit... but here are the promised pictures of the 3D body I got from Ebay. The scale... hmmm, can´t tell... a 1967 Impala (AMT) chassis fit right under it with minor cutting:

Thank you all very much... it looks better when you see it with the natural eye in a normal distance! To be onest it was not easy to "polish a turd" (quote - junkjard-owner in the movie Christine)... these kits are a hell to work with... thick material, all softener long gone from plastic, lack of detail... I´m nt 100% satisfied with it, but it was the best I could do to it. That´s my honest feelings about that build. Got the missing sideview mirror from a friend now... so it can be completed soon! Thanks again! Oliver

Done - started in 2009 (I guess) January 2023 its done... OK... still missing the driver side mirror. But I will find one. Started with an mexican AMT 1976 Camaro Kit from Ebay without T-Tops! Undercarriage is from the 70 1/2 Camaro. Interior custommade from sheet, selfmade decals (printed by Decalprint.de) selfmade PE-parts for bee otch refresher. Bumpers shortened, rubber bumpers are black electrician-tape (Coroplast) secured with second-glue, rear tires are cutted viny BF_Goodrich tires - widened by glueing two-together an cast them in resin. Taillights made from two pieces - foiled with bare-metal foil and airbrushed with Tamiya clear paints. Tamiya primer, paints and Mr.Hobby /Gunze Topcoat. Stripes are airbrushed by myself. Rust and weathering by AK-rust set... sealed with Gunze topcoat-flat. Try to replicate every piece of weahthering as correct as possible. Use white pigments for weathering the stripes and create the DVD-shaped imprints on the hood. Greetings Oliver

Hello evryone, is this project still alive? The "new" 3D-printing possibilities made many things possible over the last months... I saw things available in scale I waited a long time for. Rims, figures engines... whole models. There is also a 1977 Le Mans available from guy on ebay. Ordered one and will take pictures when it arrives. It is my first 3D printed 1:25 scale car model... so I´m very interested in how the surface will be! Greetings Oliver

I did the decals for my project some years ago... I would be very interested in 1-2 copies of that kit!!! -> o.scheitza@gmx.de COUNT ME IN! Need deposit? Contact me... Greetings Oliver

It seems to me, that car appeares in many b-movies and series!!!n CHIPS, Corvette Summer... notice that hybrid shaker/ dual scoop hood!!!

Soooo I designed the new door-decal... it will be in reflective/chrome-like finish and the Letter above in a kind of orange... will need a printed out color-sheet from the printing service to decide. You can see the misalignment on the 1:1 car... beltline with HIGHWAY PATROLE letters - try to catch that also.

Yes... the fact is, that it is a fictitious vehicle like most of the cool movie-cars/vehicles. AND THANK YOU!!! I never noticed that it is a six-star!!! My first drawings for the decals are 10 years back... time to get it corrected for print! Already draw the Nevada-Seal inside... tooks hours, but it´s done. That was the hardest part. Until then... Oliver

I started this inside another Topic here: "anyone ever built the cannonball countach kit" (Screenshot from TV) (Source: IMCD) (Source: IMCD) My decals I made years ago... another user told me that it was a Nevada Higway Patrol Vehicle. For me it was always hard to see what is the right logo or even some small details. I will correct my drawings. The kit will be the AMT or MPC 1:25 Firebird. The stock "Turbo" hood came from (*not so) reliable resin years ago. (*This company seems out of business and got plenty of money from me without delivering anything) Some details here: - white spotlights - white oversprayed(?) t-tops - yellow-gold flat "highway Patrol" on doors with a "gold-metal-chrome" star under it Hope I can make a start here soon... Greetings Oliver

I struggled with that star door logo a long time... you can´t see it clear any time. I guess it should get it´s own Topic ->

Thank you Bill! ?

So sieht´s aus... ?

I stop making engines for cars that look better with closed hood... another thing is, that every kit I build with superdetailed engine bay stand in the showcase with closed hood... Aaaaand in case of much less freetime it helps to get things done building them with patience but not getting lost into tiny details and loose the mood for building a kit. We had a phrase here: "Die Kirche im Dorf lassen" / free translated: "To let the churchhouse inside the village" ☝️ But I once collected all the parts for it...

Same kit waits here... by the way I have another project with it: Made the decals for it with Corel Draw. Hood came from Reliable Resin! For those "side actors" are the more interesting projects for me... Greetings Oliver

Made the Bee-Otch air-refreshener as a photoetched part and I made decals for it. The disco-ball will be a small pearl I guess. Made the whole interior also with Yellow/Silver and carpet... will make mor photos soon!
