jbattersby Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Hi guys, I'd like to share my most recent build, I call it the Skunkworks Z28. It is the 1969 Camaro Z28/RS model from Revell, built box stock except for the slotted rims and tires which come from the Monogram Ford Street T Roadster and Trailer kit. All of the chrome was stripped and painted using Alclad, but keeping the coats to a minimum to go for more of a dark chrome look. The front facia inner area and rear taillight panels were done in Fluorescent orange, and the body is finished in Tamiya Acrylic German Grey XF-63 and cleared with Tamiya Semi-Gloss Clear X--35. The Skunkworks Decals come from the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk Kit, and the numbers come from an unknown Gundam decal sheet. Since this generation of Camaro is already stunning, I just wanted to put my own spin on it with the wheel/tire combo and a unique paint job. Enjoy!

Thanks, unfortunately I didn't take any, it's just the box stock Z28 engine, block done also in the Fluorescent orange. If I do take some I'll add it to the post. Cheers!
matthijsgrit Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Well done! You managed to build this in a very original style. It looks ready to race to me.
larman Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Very stealthy! Nice subtle contrast between the body and wheel sheen. Also like the accents, just enough to make it pop!
Deuces Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Yep! Looks like it's ready to butt heads with the Boss 302 Mustangs.... ☺️? Edited September 29, 2019 by Deuces
Dragonhawk1066 Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Nice unique touch that looks great!
iamsuperdan Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 I really like the theme on this one. Awesome job.
Spex84 Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Love the concept and excellent execution! The photos are exceptionally well done too. If I squint, I can almost believe it's a real car.
slusher Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Great sinister and attitude theme build!!
oldcarfan Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 This is really good build! I've been trying a similar thing with some Porsche 911s. I've got some Gundam decals as well and they are nice.
Snake45 Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Very nice! But I beat you to it. I had my real '69 Camaro painted almost that exact color in 1978. Well done and model on!
Koellefornia Kid Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Love the style of this one! Awesome!
jbattersby Posted September 30, 2019 Author Posted September 30, 2019 Thanks for the comments everyone, cheers!
TarheelRick Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Have to agree with the others, this is one nasty, sinister machine. Very well thought out photography also.
Peter Lombardo Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Very neat concept, different and well done........ curious, is this a curbside? Regardless, I really like the colors and how the fluorescent orange contrasts against it . sharp. Was the "Goodyear" logo sprayed onto the tires?
Jay's Customs Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 That is epic. Very menacing. I'd LOVE to see that engine though.
disconovaman Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Unique concept to a magnificent model... plus Awesome photography!
Straightliner59 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 What a cool idea. Well-executed. too! Nice work!
