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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ! :lol:

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.

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.
