Looks like it's ready to make some noise!

Thanks Daniel, i'm honored, but as soon as i can start making some parts the way you do it, i think will look more realistic

Hello guys, hope everyone is doing great, here is a little update on my Camaro project, hope you guys like it, put engine/Transmission in place, also added the Chute Mesh in the wheelie bars and came out better then i thought

Looking great, Marcos. It's really coming along!

[Ian McLaren]

Great job Marcos, these have to be one of the most difficult drag race vehicles to model and yours is going to be a stand out for sure!

Hello guys here’s another update on this bad boy, added the electronics, battery, extinguisher and parachute setup all to the chassis, paint the body and work on the doors, just need to finish the body to complete this cool and fun project.

Your detailing is remarkable, very well done my friend!

Thanks bro, I like to start and finish a project, I don’t have any partial work in progress, but I do have some project that I’ve been putting together, maybe you can get interested in one of those, let me know

Thanks man, really do appreciate it 

 

here’s another update, not much for me it is, first time applying clear pearl to any of my models, and I’m extremely happy how this thing is turning, no wet sanding yet, next step is decals 

[Tortuga Kustomz]

Here’s another update guys, just finished adding the decals and they came out better then I thought, all decals are from slixx, now just need to wait couple of day and have a sunny day to shout the final coat of clear, hope you guys like it, still need to work on some details like the parachute, door windows and glass, hope to do those things soon

I've seen this one elsewhere but didn't see it here until now. I'll be watching this one Marcos!! 

[Rattlecan Dan]

That's a gorgeous looking ton of work. Great job.

[John B.]

Very nice - everything fits together like just the real thing!

[Holdon Coupe]

That is a work of art. Fantastic build and finish

Looks great Marcos, you have done an excellent job on this model, my hat is off to you!  I just noticed you have Pearl Clear over the base colors, I just tried that today as I've had the can for quite a while, and I really like the effect.  I also have some original Murano Pearl I used on the Banzai Vega Panel that was used to paint the original car back in the 70's.  It seems to be a finer powder and a silver pearl and sprays quite well from my airbrush when the clear is highly diluted,  Easy to get even coverage but also useful for highlighting body lines.  Regardless pearl clear of one kind or another is going to remain the way forward.

I think the pearl clear give another level of detail, I wasn't sure how this painting was going to turn out because it's the first time I've tried it and was one of my friend from my local club who told me to use it, and i love it, thanks for stopping by my friend
