TheCat Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Here's my latest build. This is one of my most detailed to date model I ever built. Detailed inside out. Painted Candy Apple Red with Black Leather Seats with Suede Red Inserts. Detailed the Engine (added the spark Plug wires, hoses, battery wires, horn wired and electrical wires) and the Chassis (added the emergency Brake line and rear brake lines. All the Chrome trim and windshield added by using Bare Metal Foil. The Photos do not do it justice. The Candy Apple Red look richer and deeper than what the photo show
Dr. Cranky Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Between that red and all the great details, you've made a winning model.
Haubenschild Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 That looks beatiful! , i love the background setting , looks like an auction!
TheCat Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 Thank you all for the kind comments. This one took me a month and a half to complete. I painted the body about six months ago and put it aside until about two months ago when I got the chance to complete it. I find that the hardest thing to do is the paint job. It has to be near perfect. After that, everything else is easy.
crazyjim Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 My favorite year Camaro. Even better when it's SHINY :)

bandit1 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 nicely done! but i believe if you put the hockey stick stripes on it (black) it probably would look better but hey thats me! did you have to fix your rear spoiler any? i had an issue with mine where it was supposably molded right into sprue and when i pulled it off it took the chunk right off the end???
gasser59 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 That's a winner for sure and the photography really looks great. Nicely detailes throughout. Thanks for sharing. What did you use for a basecoat for the Candy Apple Red?

Thank you Sean. Yeah, thought about the hockey stick stripes. But I'm planning to apply those stripes on my next 69 SS Camaro. I wanted this one to be a straight SS/RS version. Thank goodness, I haven't gotten that issue with the rear spoiler. What I try to do is use my cutting tool and not pull it. If you pull it off, yeah it will cut a chunk right out of the spoiler.

What did you use for a basecoat for the Candy Apple Red? Thanks Brad. For Primer I used Rust-Oleum Gray Primer (sanded it smooth) and then applied Testor's Silver Metallic #1246. Then used Testor's Candy Apple Red #1605. When painting the Candy Apple Red, you must be very careful. You have to spray right through. Don't stop midway. Any mistakes will show clearly with Candy Apple Red.
jeff ewaskey Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Wow Felix, another beauty and a really great build. Awesome detailing for sure. Love it!!!!!
W-409 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I think, this is your best build. Great job with it all the way-looks very good. Detailing is great. Very realistic looking paintjob too. I like this one, only mistake, I can see is that mold flash on rear tire. But not bad at all, great build.
surfjunke Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 The Camaro looks great! Very nice clean build & fine paint. Very clean details & application of the BMF. I like it a lot better without the stripes. Just me, but I never did like the stripes they put on the Muscle cars,ruined the nice designs & lines of the cars.
Guest Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Felix, it's not right to post pics of a real car and call it your build! Beautiful job sir! Your best yet!
Johnny1973 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Great job on the Camaro.I like the color choices.
Danno Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I can't decide whether this is spectacularly awesome or awesomely spectacular!
om617 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Looks fantastic,and you even add parking brake wires?
