mikelo Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 This one will probably take a while (as I have several other projects going on), but I just wanted to share with everyone here some of my ideas for my project. In case you haven't seen it, here is a rendering I did for a customer in Alabama. This is going to be a 1:1 car. My plans are to combine ideas of this one and Notorious by Rad Rides. While I would love to raise to entire center of the hood as I did in the rendering, I will probably just end up using the kit's cowl hood so I can get it done. First the rendering. I have test fit the parts and plan to get most of my parts from the old Mongram 69 Camaro. I have glued the front pan onto the car, but need to fill and round the corners and do a little more trimming on it. The nice part is the front bumper from that kit fits very nicely. Thanks to LOBBS for his article on his, I was going to use a BB from one of the various sources mentioned, nut now may just put a more modern mill in it. The rear appears to be easier than the front. I plan on using a left over set of tail lights from the R/M Camaro, with the rear pan from the older Monogram kit, the bumper from a MPC 69 Camaro and scratch building the panel between the tail lights. Here is where it is at now. I will try to keep this updated, but I am not sure how much I will be able to work on it. Oh, here is a link to Rad Rides in case you haven't seen Notorious. http://www.radrides.com/proj.htm Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerc Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 That's gonna look great! Not to hijack your thread, but what are you using for the renderings? I like how sharp it looks...I use markers, chalk, ink, and some gouache for the pigeon drops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelo Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Kerk, nice Dub tub! I use the same things, markers, pastels, colored pencils, ink & final clean up in PS (you can control the pigeon poop better). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
