1hobby1 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Hey guys just finished this one up. Tried a new paint method on this one. Used Folkart acrylic craft paint thinned with future and then cleared with future as well. The car is more or less box stock. I lowered the car, wheels are from my parts box, shortened the rear axle for some wider wheels and tires in the rear, spark plug wires and flocked the interior. Overall I'm happy with how this came out. Hope you all enjoy! Edited April 7, 2016 by 1hobby1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMCMAN52 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 nice paint coverage for your 1st time using Folkart acrylic. I've tried using it for my interior work and still haven't mastered it. will try airbrushing next.Color looks nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Now that is one sharp looking Camaro! Nice Work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hobby1 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Very interesting painting method! I'm not ready to give up my beloved enamels yet, but I'm listening....I don't exactly have a "set" method yet. I'm still very new to modeling and still experimenting what works for me. But I must say I was quite impressed with the way the craft paint laid down. Next time I use craft acrylics I think I'm going to try a different clear coat, future was a bit tricky for me and I think I just had some luck on my side the day I cleared it haha. Next model up will be a testors enamel 50:50 with laquer thinner. I guess time will tell how well craft acrylics hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 This generation and the mid eighties generation were my favorite of the Camaros. I like what you've done with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

<profile removed> Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Looks fantastic and I love the color! One naive question that I am sure is covered in other topics...how did you light this for the photos? I've been building forever but only recently have I tried taking pictures, and they are always really dark, no matter the (sometimes hilarious) ligniting setups I try. Your pics are so sharp and bright, I hope you don't mind my asking. Again, though, great build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, though, great build!thank you for the compliment but you are going to be very surprised, the lighting is just normal house bulbs that are on the ceiling, no special setup just average home light. The background are old white shelfs, and the photos are simply taken on my iPhone. No secret here! I set up on the floor under a light on the ceiling. Hope this helps!

Harry P. Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Pretty nice overall... but body-color wipers? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hobby1 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Pretty nice overall... but body-color wipers? Really? well, the hood covers them when the car is on the shelf , and I got a little lazy. ? worse things can be left out.
