DeeCee Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 A lot of scratch building , modifications and Fabrication on this one, pretty much everything was scratch built, body widened, and twin turbo Hemi/Chevy. Paint is Dupli-color GINGER ALE , i'll let the pics show you the rest 4
grodudulle77 Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Wow, very nice work with an awesome look, i really like the body paint work and the colors, your model is very neat !!!??? Edited May 30, 2020 by grodudulle77
Modlbldr Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Wow! Excellent craftsmanship. The color is gorgeous too. I like the work on the seats. I have no idea how you did them so cleanly. Later-
stinkybritches Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 I am a diehard Mustang fan, but that is one badass looking Camaro.
RichCostello Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 I'm not really into the "Pro Touring" thing, but this Camaro might change my mind! Paint, colors, interior, engine, wheels/tires, all perfect!
Mattilacken Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Awesome build! It’s incredible beautifull and flawless! Looks like a 1:1! Is that the 1:12 or 1:25?
matthijsgrit Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Astonishing!!! Great build. Love the paint, and that engine!! Wow. Did you open up the fog lights to supply fresh air to the turbo’s? And what did you use for the ‘stripes’ in the seats? Look’s like rope?
Claude Thibodeau Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Hi Sir! Truly a world-class design, execution and finish. Bravo! CT
TarheelRick Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 If I ever gave up my love for Mustangs this might be the one to do it. That is one really nasty Camaro. It just looks ready to 'eat your lunch' along with anything else you might have driven up. Great job.
peekay Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Very classy indeed! Perfect "mean but beautiful" look!
Peter Lombardo Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Amazing build on every level. You can see a ton of work and many hours went into this one. The detail is top notch and the colors set it off perfectly. Very, very impressive.
Jantrix Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 What a treat! Outstanding design and execution. It has all the looks of a modern pro-tourer EXCEPT no big wheels/thin tires that is all the rage today. Instead you've got plenty of rubber that makes me think of classic IMSA racrers. Well done sir.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Outstanding! Great color choice/combo and paint job. That engine and turbo setup...WOW!
beeRS Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 This is STUNNING! The more I look, the more I see. Great work on every level. How did you do those stripes? Is it paint or decal?

Thank you all, :) Yes , i opened up the fog lights for that purpose, and the stripes on the seats are embroidery cotton, stuck down with some white glue.

You indicate your paint is Dupli-Color "Ginger Ale". But my real question is: what about the clear, and your polishing technique? Super results! CT

CT I treat a model like the real car, automotive primer, blocked etc, Auto acrylic, and automotive clear, from a real paint shop, that way you get quality. I usually block back the clear and re-clear it aswell. 2000grit wet/dry. then polish with Autoglym super resin polish which is the same process I use when painting my 1:1 cars. hope this helps, the extra effort is worth it if you are after the glossy look mate.

Hi Dale! Thanks for the reply. I too do custom painting on 1/1 cars and rods. Mostly use HOK clears and Farecla compound and G-Mops. However, I find automotive clear is too hard for polishing "harmlessly" on plastic bodies without generating the heat required to get it to flow under the buffing action. A steel body can accept such heat/pressure in polishing, plastic is more fragile, That is why I mostly use Testor's Wet Look clear (in spray cans), followed by wet block sanding (with a supple eraser as a block) with 2000, 3000 and 6000, and hand polishing. Usually works fine (see Javelin below). Regards, CT
