tbill Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) This all started as simple idea, but took 4 months to complete the cars, the rig and car hauler trailer are still under construction in the trucks section. The cars are all the Baldwin Motion kit from Revell, I used PE sets, plug wire and flocking from 'The Model Car Garage', heater hoses, alternator brackets, wire looms and speaker grills from 'Detail Masters'. Paint is a mixture of GM spray touch up paint and testors lacquer finishes. GM Crystal red tint metallic, GM Luxo blue metallic, testors Nassau blue, testors hugger orange, testors graphite dust, GM Green O'clock metallic. continued.. Edited May 16, 2015 by tbill
Petetrucker07 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Awesome Tom. A major undertaking, 6 at once, everything identical, except color. You did well, very well. Can't wait to see these loaded up.
1930fordpickup Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 This is so cool. Now you need to build a Dealer front with the cars being unloaded.
Scalper Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 All are very nicely done.. I would pick the green one off the lot. will look killer when the rig and transport is done.
Kenny B Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Tom, Very very nice job on all of the Camaro's. I have one on my shelf that one day will be built. I like all the detail that you put into them being a 1/25 scale and all. One thing I must say to make them all perfect is to paint the hose clamps on the top rad hose. Just an idea. Love them all makes me want to build mine but now that i've seen all the colours what colour do I pick. They will sure look cool on your big rig hauler. Very cool. Ken
tbill Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 thank you everyone, was quite the project [and still not done]. Ken, ya know what, when I was building these I kept looking at the 'hose clamps' wanting to do something with them, and after posting the pictures, they caught my eye again, and again I though, 'gee, I really need to do something with those'. looks like when I get a few minutes, I will paint them, I also need to put plates on 2 more of them, they are wearing '69 vintage NY plates.
DumpyDan Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Nicely done, now you need to build Yenko Nova's. Bravo for staying focused
Helix Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Most impressive Tom, what a project, well done mate !
Mopar - D Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Tom it was great to follow your building of these beautiful Camaros. These out side pictures really bring out the top quality build that you have done. Thanks for sharing.
TooOld Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Beautiful Camaros ! A group picture would be suitable for framing . And all in six months ? It would've taken me that long to build one !
slusher Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Six beautiful models Tom. Excellent work. Enjoyed the build ups...
Southern Fried Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 They have meds for your condition. Seek help... Awesome builds!
mikemodeler Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Those came out beautifully Tom! The attention to the details, the execution, all speak highly of your skills. I am sure the truck and trailer will be equally impressive.
tbill Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 thank you everyone, I never thought I would ever finish the cars, 6 at once is a bit much
tbill Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 getting close to finishing this up, trailer needs touch up, and the titan rig is close to done, I am close to finally getting this done
Kenny B Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Tom, Now you just bring all that big load over to my place and we'll sit down and have a coffee while I clear some space to park that Big Rig load of beauties. Ken.
