Revell Concept Camaro Slump-Buster

[Snake45]

Here's the Revell Concept Camaro Snake-slapped together as a "quick" slump-buster. I rescribed (and black-washed) all panel lines and polished the molded silver plastic. Wheels were given a shot of Krylon clear satin, and I masked off and painted the black window surrounds. Some detail painting, and the kit sticker "decals" were used. It's actually shinier than it looks in the pictures. Very easy shape to polish--I was able to do the whole think with Walmart Trim nail polishing sticks; didn't have to resort to my beloved Wright's Silver Cream. Total build time maybe ten or 12 hours. Comments welcome.

Very nice looking quickie. I like the tire tread detail that so many over look.

It's really not difficult, and unlike paint, there's never any danger of "burning through."  The hardest part is finding good plastic to polish. First, it has to be in a color you like/want, and then it has to be opaque enough that it won't have that translucent/plastic-y look when done. This one is marginal in the latter aspect, and it has some of the infamous metallic swirls, but I went with it anyway. But I don't think I have any other polished silver plastic in my collection.
