beefheart22 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I've been lurking since Christmas time, learning tons from everybody. To break the ice, I thought that I would show the WIP of my first model since I was in high school. It's Revell's '69 Camaro Z28 with the RS grill. Used Tamiya Light Metallic Blue rattle can paint and everything else was just brushed on by hand using Tamiya acrylics -- haven't invested in air brush. Got a little sloppy in places, especially with my masking job for the chrome trim. Think I'm going to hit the body with a clear-coat and do some detailing under the car, engine, interior... Cheers
Jordan White Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Looks great! I built this with the same grille, but in German Silver with the black stripes. I noticed that you have that orange rotating paint jar holder, which I also have!

And makes for a quick cleanup when the old lady yells at me to clear my model stuff off the dining room table!

I've never wired a motor before. After looking at other posters' 1:1 looking builds, I've been thinking about it just to try it out.
