mr.camaro Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I decided to start something new so what better than a new version of my first kit when I was young. Its the new revell zr1 I am opening the doors and hatch on. Here's where I am now. More soon
Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Cool. Looks good. What year Vette was your first build?
mr.camaro Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 finally got to a computer to upload the pics properly. Ron i dont remember the exact year about a 95 or so. Blue with black interior and hand painted grand national stripes!
Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Sounds nice. What colors do you plan on useing for this one?
mr.camaro Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 I'm not sure yet. All I know is it won't be blue or charcoal grey. Possibly 06 vette burnt orange with tan interior.
Ron a.k.a. Grouchy Pants Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 That sounds cool Kyle. If your anything like me your gonna change your mind a million times about the color, and then when you do decide on it, you'll change your mind again
Toast Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Possibly 06 vette burnt orange with tan interior. I hate that I love that color so much! :-P
Trae Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Possibly 06 vette burnt orange with tan interior. How about Inferno Orange, new to the Vette for 2012.
Reeves Racing Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 thats some massive wheel gap for a sports car That's GM's thing these days. Thats why the new pickups look so bad too.
Skydime Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm not a Corvette expert but, it looks to me like that car has smaller wheels and tires than stock.
mr.camaro Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Ok I finally got back to this build. No pics as of yet hopefully I can get to a computer tomorrow so I can upload some. The body is base coated duplicolor engine enamel Chevy orange all jambs are done as is the engine. Interior is duplicolor vinyl desert sand tan flocked with tan powder. Hoping to top coat it with a mix of pure ice excuse me yellow hot tamale orange and sinful colors big daddy orange nail polish tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for looking
jaydar Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Great start. i have the kit also. What year did Revell intend it to be??? thanks, joe.
mr.camaro Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Mixed up and shot my top coat this morning. Sorry for the bad lighting I will get a better picture today Thanks for looking Edited January 26, 2012 by mr.camaro
mr.camaro Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Finally got some pics in good lighting. This orange is bright!
mr.camaro Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Noticed a huge mold line on the bumper so I sanded it down. Touched up the sanded spots and my luck came into play Sooo...
Johnny1973 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 How about Inferno Orange, new to the Vette for 2012. Nice color!
mr.camaro Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Hey everyone. I finally got this one really close to completed! All that I have left is a bit of underhood detailing and figuring out why the drivers door is binding. Here are some pictures of how she sits now. Any comments or suggestions welcome. Thanks.
