tyrone Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Hey guys here's my latest project that is close to being done thanks for looking and comments welcome... Edited February 21, 2011 by tyrone
Kanedge Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Great job on this, engine is nicely done. Although I think it looked better before the flames in just plain red, IMHO.
Brutalform Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Thats one BADD looking Camaro. I only wish my engine building skills were that good!!!!
camarobuilder Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Tyrone, Great job on the Camaro. i knew others here would appreciate your work. Did you freehand paint the green around the flames? Frank
1320wayne Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 After seeing this one already on another forum I believe what Tyrone did to achieve the green pinstriping was to leave the mask in place after painting the purple and then free handing the outline using the mask as a guide. It really is the easiest way to do this without wavering on your line work. Great job Tyrone.
tyrone Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks for the comments fellas K.S it's actually huggar orange, Waynes decscription of how I did the outline is dead on, here's a pic of where I got the idea... thanks fellas..
W-409 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Awesome job you do seriously. That detailing is perfect, really impressive work with the engine, altough. Scott Shafiroff engines are pretty popular, great choice to use it. Paint is also amazing, I like the job, you did on the flames.
ewaskew Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I love the pro mods. I have a file on my computer for future builds and tips,ideas. And every time I run across builds like this they go to those files. Keep up the good work.
Dragracer Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 The Camaro looks great Tyrone!, like the flame job against the orange, are you gonna add any more flames to it or is it done?. Started the Nova this weekend, primered the body yesterday to see where I need to do some more work, hopefully I'll try to post some pics of it this week.
kennym Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I just found the site today and seen your car,that is a nice machine .I am kinda old school and its been along time since I put a model together.You have alot of patience and talent. Its just good to find this site and I know that yall can teach a old dog new tricks.Take care and keep up the good work.
tyrone Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 thanks for the comments fellas, I've trying to give this clear coat plenty of time to dry, I'm gonna wet sand the front end and put two more coats of clear on more to come...
Dragline Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Very impressive Tyrone. The paint and the details are all VERY good. I need to try one of these but I'm afraid of how many years from start to finish it'll take me. Bob
tyrone Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 What's up fellas I've put a couple more coats of clear on this one after giving it time to dry, while waiting on that I gotthe nos bottlesin and added some nut and bolt head details to the rear wing also, I've got the windows cut out and are working on those now, debating on whether to add some decals on this one before the last coat of clear, let me know what you think???

It really is the easiest way to do this without wavering on your line work. Great job Tyrone. Agreed. It looks fantsatic. However, rather that brush the pinstriping, what about using a gel pen? You could easily follow the tape edge and in theory leave a perfect thin line. What do you think? Could this work?

You could easily follow the tape edge and in theory leave a perfect thin line. What do you think? Could this work? Great job, with all the detail you might as well go all the way and get sponsor decals on it too. As far as the pinstripes I have used gel pins and it looks no better than what he has here. The only really good stripes I have seen were done by a pro pinstripper and they were out of this world, way beyone us mear mortals.
Dragracer Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Maybe a couple of sponsor decals, not too many tho. Camaro looks great.
tyrone Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 a few pics of where I am so far, I decided to add a few sponsor decals to the car, I got the spoiler braces on and got the rear chutes mounted. The rear glass is in. more to come thanks for looking and comments welcome...
gunner Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Very clean work, well done I'm just curious, what is the reason for the netting on the wheelie bars?
Mark Brown Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Very clean work, well done I'm just curious, what is the reason for the netting on the wheelie bars? Keeps the chute from getting tangled in long bars when it's deployed. And I agree - that's one of the nicest Pro Mods I've seen!
