Mad Slammer Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Hi... I just finished this model for a model contest here in Puerto Rico next Sunday... Hope you guys like it... It's a 70 1/2 Amt(old tooling) Camaro Z-28. Built Slammer style, that gives it the name, EMPTY-Z...
Mad Slammer Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks... I started this thing back in 2009, had a couple of problems with paint and lost interest for a while. Glad you guys like it...
Snake45 Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Very nice. No engine or interior?That's what "slammer" means.
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 I thought slammer meant low to the ground. Sometimes it can, though "slammed", past tense, usually means "extremely low on its suspension". Then there are the drag-racing "door-slammers". It can get confusing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Far as the model goes, I REALLY like the clean look. It's nice to see one for a change without a lot of stuff tacked on and sticking out. These cars have good lines, and a clean build style shows the shape nicely.

Well, it's sort of a Slammer just for the blacked out windows... It has the kit's chasis but no engine or interiors... Tried lowering it more in the rear but the lower you go, the tires have to come inside of the body so it looked like a Pro Street with skinny tires... I have another "chasis plate" that I scratchbuilt for it but the rear tire issue mede me choose the other one... Glad you guys like it...
Mad Slammer Posted November 4, 2016 Author Posted November 4, 2016 Great color! What's the paint?Paint is Duplicolor, from the can... Don't have the code or name of the color but I can check later when I get home from work... It's just primer and paint, no clearcoat...
Mad Slammer Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 The color is Duplicolor BGM0440 Bright aqua metalic... it took third place at yesterday's show...
