Facebook 24 Hour build off Camaro

[Porscheman]

I joined a 24 hour build off on Facebook Saturday at noon and in my classic style, I finish mine in 5 1/2 hours. I know there are a few things that have to be fixed,the grill and the side view mirror. But all and all I'm  pretty please with the end results. Painted Tamiya Bright Red with Semi Gloss Black interior. The strips are from Firebird Designs and the tires are AMT redlines from their parts pak..

Thanks for looking,

Al

5 1/2 hours ?  Looks great. I have to ask.... what's the quickest you have built a kit ?

[slusher]

Sharp build Al.

Uh, 5½ hours? Really? You could have built four models in that 24 hour build off with that building speed!  I know I'd have trouble in building one of these this nice in 24 days. Really nice job. Excellent paint job and nice, clean work overall as usual.

Wow pretty amazing for 5 1/2 hours

How about posting a pic of your paint drying set up

Looks good, if I could build that fast I would have to buy more kits in 2018

Nice model! 

I'm curious as well about the paintwork... How did you managed it to dry it in such a short time?

Thank you.I only used Tamiya rattle cans on this one. I quick dry with a floor heater and then a a fan, this accelerate the drying time to 2 minutes.

Thanks. After that you can touch it with no fingerprints? 

[Ulbo]

Wow man!!! Amazing for that short of time

Yes, I wouldn't grab tight, but dry enough to polish or adding decals.

One of these days somebody is going to have to explain to me the point of trying to build a model in a certain amount of time, because the concept is lost on me.

I am curious too, whats the rush?

It's more being part of an event, the camaraderie.  And the challenge of seeing if you can indeed build a credible model in the 24 hour time span.  There is nothing like working at midnight and knowing that there are 50 other people doing the very same thing.  And giving a progress report with photos at 3am and three people instantly reply.
