Mike Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I just wrapped this one up last night. I just have to put the home-made decals on tonight (still drying). This one was a commissioned piece for a local guy. He found me at a local car show and asked me to build a replica for him. The kit is the 35th Anniversary Camaro from Revell with the t-tops hacked off the 98 Ram-air firebird and spliced in to place. Some minor engine bay detailing and small body mod to insert the rear running lights. A real challenge with this one was creating all of the subtle shades of black - flat, semi-gloss, semi-flat, gloss... Real car My 1/24 scale replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale392 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The engine bay in particular looks very realistic; good job at recreating the real car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
