ismaelg Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Hello, It is finally finished!!!!! My 2006 Z06 in Cobra Colors Velocity Yellow. This is one of those builds I can set on the dining table, stand back, look at it and smile with pride. It is by no means perfect, but I am proud of how it came out. It looks even better in person than in the pics. Sorry for the many pics but I took 105 pictures and narrowed it down to 12 or so. This is probably my favorite pic This is probably my favorite pic The blue car in the framed picture is actually my C6 convertible model And that is me with the C6-R on the wall Yes I love the movie, but don't look at the wall. Look at car!!! This is probably my favorite pic My very own license plate. From the side profile you can see the massive calipers and the valve stems Fully detailed engine bay including the famous oil tank, jump starting warning decal, MAF sensor wiring, electricals, plumbing etc. Here you can see another look of the dry sump oil tank. Interiors are very hard to see but everything is there. I love the underside of this car. Especially the exhaust. I always have plenty of reference material for visitors and friends to enjoy. As usual, your comments are welcome. Thanks,
Zoom Zoom Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Very nice 8) I thoroughly enjoyed the one I built. Your display is really cool! Hope we get a chance to meet if you get to Atlanta this September
purvissp Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 WOW! That baby is awsome. Looks like you could get in and drive it away.
crispy Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Magnificent build Ismael! That looks so real. I look forward to your next build. Ferrari or Corvette. Chris
MonoPed Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 That is really nice!! You certainly live up to your billing of "The Corvette Guy" - very nice work, Izzy!!

Simón
gasman Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 looks great Izzy, I really need to finish mine. I'm not a big Corvette fan but I like the Z06
MrObsessive Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Ismael, everything about that car is PERFECT!! The color, the stance, the wheels, everything!! Take a long bow!..........you've done this kit a great justice!
Lyle Willits Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Fantastic, as always. I could swear that's a real car.
Rick Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 That's not perfect? I can't find even one tiny flaw in your pictures, Really Great job!! Rick
LT Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Excellent work, Ismael! Your paintwork and model building just keeps getting better and better.
Irvin Arter Jr. Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Nice Vette, Of course ALL your vettes are nice! Can't have too many Vettes!
ismaelg Posted August 12, 2006 Author Posted August 12, 2006 Thank you all very much for the nice comments. I really appreciate! Thanks,
Jairus Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I'll get to see it in person.... na, na, nah, na, na, nahhhhhh (too much? )
Wildrice Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I am speechless. That looks so real. Graet work. I bow to the Vette Master.
Stingray69 Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 W:shock:W, I can almost see my reflection in the paint! Nicely done man!
ismaelg Posted August 30, 2006 Author Posted August 30, 2006 WOW! I'm honored for all the nice comments about my work. I just got a call from the guy responsible for getting me back into model cars about 10 years ago (after my incursion in aircraft). His '53 and '65 Corvette models are still today an inspiration to me. He saw this post and called to ask me a few questions about polishing and other details and told me I was inspiring him! That's one of the biggest compliments I've received!! I'm really honored! Thanks,
cruz Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/model_clu...5/dscn6130.html Hey Boricua, seeing that you like Vettes as much as I do or more I hope you like this 67, I love them myself. Painted this one Rally red from a paint jobber around my way and used Odds and Ends clear, polished and waxed, hope you like it :wink:
cruz Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/model_clu...2/dscn1448.html Here is another Vette from my collection, I think I will be putting that new Vette together soon, it is a nice model. :wink:
