Deathgoblin Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Awesome! I'll "Bee" watching this build. Don't forget the little disco ball and the little "bee-yotch" air freshener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Who made the '76 Camaro, MPC? Regardless, this is a neat build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the little disco ball and the little "bee-yotch" air freshener. Made the Bee-Otch air-refreshener as a photoetched part and I made decals for it. The disco-ball will be a small pearl I guess. Made the whole interior also with Yellow/Silver and carpet... will make mor photos soon! 7 hours ago, bisc63 said: Who made the '76 Camaro, MPC?

Plowboy Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I have the AHC-100 Camaro. But, I don't like the T-top. I may have to try to get the Ralley Sport to build instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Tiny disco balls, with a coat of chrome spray maybe...https://www.ebay.com/itm/200pcs-Acrylic-Ball-Beads-Faceted-AB-Color-Tiny-Disco-Ball-Opaque-White-8mm-DIA/283560565032?hash=item420586d928:g:oJkAAOSwIK9dOn7p Oops; just noticed those are 8mm, so not so tiny in scale; about an 8-inch ball!

mrm Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'm sure that a quick trip to HL's jewelry making department will get the right disco ball with no need to paint. I wouldn't be surprised if Walmart has it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinRoller Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 I stop making engines for cars that look better with closed hood... another thing is, that every kit I build with superdetailed engine bay stand in the showcase with closed hood... Aaaaand in case of much less freetime it helps to get things done building them with patience but not getting lost into tiny details and loose the mood for building a kit. We had a phrase here: "Die Kirche im Dorf lassen" / free translated: "To let the churchhouse inside the village" ☝️ But I once collected all the parts for it...

RockinRoller Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Done - started in 2009 (I guess) January 2023 its done... OK... still missing the driver side mirror. But I will find one. Started with an mexican AMT 1976 Camaro Kit from Ebay without T-Tops! Undercarriage is from the 70 1/2 Camaro. Interior custommade from sheet, selfmade decals (printed by Decalprint.de) selfmade PE-parts for bee otch refresher. Bumpers shortened, rubber bumpers are black electrician-tape (Coroplast) secured with second-glue, rear tires are cutted viny BF_Goodrich tires - widened by glueing two-together an cast them in resin. Taillights made from two pieces - foiled with bare-metal foil and airbrushed with Tamiya clear paints. Tamiya primer, paints and Mr.Hobby /Gunze Topcoat. Stripes are airbrushed by myself. Rust and weathering by AK-rust set... sealed with Gunze topcoat-flat. Try to replicate every piece of weahthering as correct as possible. Use white pigments for weathering the stripes and create the DVD-shaped imprints on the hood.

RockinRoller Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Thank you all very much... it looks better when you see it with the natural eye in a normal distance! To be onest it was not easy to "polish a turd" (quote - junkjard-owner in the movie Christine)... these kits are a hell to work with... thick material, all softener long gone from plastic, lack of detail... I´m nt 100% satisfied with it, but it was the best I could do to it. That´s my honest feelings about that build. Got the missing sideview mirror from a friend now... so it can be completed soon! Thanks again! Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
