Hawk312 Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 This one is basically the same as the black one, so I will just copy and paste from that thread: This is yet another build up of the Monogram 1/12 Z/28 kit, with alot of detail and scratch building added. My goal again was to create these as new from factory as you might see them on the showroom floor. The license plate, inspection sticker, registration, and dealer window sticker were all reduced versions of the real thing from 1969. The Model Car Garage photo-etch detail set was added. I also added brakes lines, wound springs, and aluminum exhaust tubing. I tried to simulate accurate labels and chalk markings on the firewall, exhaust, axle, and front and rear springs, as well as other spots on the chassis. "Lettering" was added to the ignition wires and heater hoses, and any other hose or wire I found on the engine that could use it. Simulated wood was painted on the dash, steering wheel, and center console with a very small brush. The interior was flocked for an accurate carpeted look. It was painted with many coats of color and clear lacquer (I forget how many, but ALOT), and then wet-sanded and rubbed out with three different grades of compound. Bare metal foil was used throughout. Also took some pics of them together:

GrandpaMcGurk Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Hawk......those paint jobs are to die for. Beautiful!
N~8~Ball Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Vary vary nice work on both of them. This is one of my favorite body styles for the camaro. If you put these babies in front the correct back drop or scale dealer diorama they would look like the real thing from 1969. They even look like a 1:1 car in the photos you posted here. I would really like to see your handy work on the interior.. Again awsome job on both of them Take care Nate V
beefheart22 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Amazing work on both of them. The engine looks like it'll fire up!
Hawk312 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Posted September 19, 2009 Thanks again everyone! The weather was nice today, and I decided to take some more pics, since I wasn`t happy with the way the others turned out. Here you go!
