olschoolkid Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Very nice and creative build. The level of detail and skill that went into this is amazing. I only wish I was building models on the same level.

AmericanMuscleFan Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Well I have to say this one IMHO is by far your most daring concept yet my dear! Scissor doors are already a rather extravagant concept, so why not move the entire front clip with them? Ask Claude the question and you will have your answer! You are truly a great designer my friend and this Camaro concept is a good example, everything was done with taste, daring and restraint at the same time! Everything is still GM with a futuristic take on what the car would look like decades later. Styrene is a fantastic medium and you use it so well to show us your take on the wonderful automotive world. This will be talked about at the next exhibition! Another great hit my friend, you sent it out of the ballpark!!!

Another great hit my friend, you sent it out of the ballpark!!! Hi Francis! Thanks for the comments. However, as much as I would like to claim "paternity" for the concept, I was actually inspired by a picture in a very old issue of SAE, A gentleman from England, I think is name was Terry Ross (not certain, I'm sorry) used the same architecture on a very contemporary 52 Chevy coupe. I was impressed, and stuck the clipped picture over my bench, until the time came to do something unusual with a Camaro. Turned-out satisfactory I guess! Hope we have a show this coming october, if de gods of Covid allow it! CT

bobthehobbyguy Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Cool concept. Could see this as something to go for the Ridler at the Detroit autorama. Lots of inovation. Well excuted model.
