Hawk312 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Ok...so I am pummeling you guys relentlessly with these. Anyway, this is for a customer who is actually buying two of these from me, possibly three. He wanted this one to be just like it would come from the factory (the other will be modified). It is a little different for me, as this is the first time I tried the white interior, which is alot of fun when you are trying to cover the molded black plastic, and when you are dealing with super messy black flocking that is attracted to the white painted seats. This is also my first burgandy car, which was mixed using the paint code from `69 and is PPG laquer this time. This is also the first time I used the body color bumper. As usual, period correct window sticker, chassis markings, firewall markings, "text" on hoses and wires, brake lines, painted wood grain detail, etc.... Also, this person wanted a motor city license plate, which is why I chose Michigan for the license plate (correct `69) and made it a personalized custom plate for him. Since I will be shipping this cross-country, some of the chrome pieces (mirrors, door handles, etc)will be shipped separately, which is why they are not installed. Let me know what you think.
Casey Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous... ...but I don't see a Protect-O-Plate inside the owner's manual in the glovebox. Seriously, though, it looks beautiful. Very clean and well-detailed without appearing overdone. Nice work.
John E. Bowers Jr. Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Another score!for you hawk! Great looking build of this kit. We gotta meet up!
Harry P. Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Your models are absolutely perfect. I've never seen cleaner building, and your paint is flawless. Amazing work, I wish I could do that!
AzTom Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 That is just Awesome! Even has a factory installed spoiler. AzTom
vizio93 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Wow that Camaro is absolutely beautiful, looks like it rolled right off the showroom floor. Nice job
Hawk312 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks everyone for the kind words! I hope the new owner is just as appreciative.
Hawk312 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Posted January 14, 2010 Another score!for you hawk! Great looking build of this kit. We gotta meet up! Thanks again! I`ve seen your incredible work on these kits as well, so i really do appreciate the compliments! Since it looks like I may have some major free time in the future with the way things are going, you will have to let me know when you guys are meeting up again. I want to make one of these meets!
Crusader101 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Extraordinary....right down to the markings on the heater hoses!
bsoder Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Thanks everyone for the kind words! I hope the new owner is just as appreciative. If he isn't he's got a loose rod!!..that is beautiful
Foxer Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I was going to leave a long comment on how good this looks, but I noticed my hair is out of place when looking at your paint!!!
crowe-t Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 This is so clean and perfect! The paint is absolutely flawless.
Danno Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Sweet! There can just never be enough '69 Camaros ... in any scale! So, when are you doing a Frost Green version?
Jantrix Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Ok...so I am pummeling you guys relentlessly with these. As long as you are doing so with such excellent builds, by all means pummel away.
Hawk312 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 Thanks again guys! So, when are you doing a Frost Green version? As soon as they make it available in a spray. Actually, I was debating trying a Rallye Green one, since that is available. It`s hard to believe they had so many metallic green shades available in that year. I was also debating doing a brown one, which would really be different.
comp1839 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 simply gorgeous! outstanding craftsmanship!
sjordan2 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Just perfect. Each one of these you show gets better and better. And I love the way you faked the snow in September. Very believable.
