1/8 Camaro IROC-Z

[Plastic_Passion]

Can't wait to see what you do with this. I have 5 of these 1/8 scales now. I just picked up a mint condition 82 z body and related parts. I have a partially smashed 85 iroc. Im tempted to kit bash an earlier z with the iroc parts however I feel conflicted about it because the 82 is quite rare. I've been trying with the idea of claying and casting both the 82 z and the 85 iroc as I have two of them. Revell should really re-release both kits. The did it with the 79 ta.

I got the front bumper painted and I wanted to get the lights mounted to it, all 8 of them. I wasn't able to get the turn signal lenses off so I had to mask them off and paint with them installed. The fog light lenses had a lot of glue on them, but I was able to sand them smooth and put some clear coat on them to make them look a bit better.

The headlights were a little more troublesome. The headlight buckets had been modified. The bulbs had been drilled out and the mounting post had been removed and glued into the bracket. They should look more like the fog light also pictured. Seems like the previous owner might have been trying to install LEDs like SpikeSchumacher was saying.

The first thing I needed to do was replace the missing lenses. I made some clear lenses from an old food container for an H4 conversion look.

Then I made some "bulbs" out of some round stock I painted with a chrome marker then went over with a blue sharpie for an H.I.D. look.

The back of the bulbs are now the new mounting points.

I mounted the bracket first, then the lights so I could make sure they weren't crooked.

The 1/25 was much easier.

More next time.
