SuperStockAndy Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Hey all, I'm entering the 1969 Camaro in the Revell Gearz contest. I'm trying many new things on this build, so far so good. Almost finished chassis: Firewall (Complete with lettering ) : Almost finished engine: Almost finished interior: The biggest challenge is...I got the kit on April 8th and I have to have it done by May 15th Paint is probably going to be Fathom Green with white stripes. Thanks for looking
Jantrix Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Andy I have seen the model that won last year and met the builder. You are gonna have to bring your "A" game on this one. Make sure your finish is flawless and above all, your photos are top notch. No matter how good your model is, if your pics don't show it off, your work will be for naught. Good luck and it's looking great so far.
mikemodeler Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 That is coming along very nicely and much better than I could do at 14! Take your time and it will be a model you can be proud of. Like Jantrix mentioned, make sure your photos are top notch as that is how the winners are judged.
W-409 Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 I'd like to see this Camaro in Hugger Orange with black stripes. It's absolutely the best color combination on this. What kit are you using, I'd like to see the box art. Parts look pretty much the same than old Monogram kit. Great job with it so far, engine and chassis look very good. I like the interior also.
SuperStockAndy Posted April 27, 2012 Author Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys Niko, I'm using this one: I actually considered Hugger Orange with white stripes, however I changed my mind to Fathom green at the last minute. Edited April 27, 2012 by SuperStockAndy
Bartster Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 Fantastic job so far, Andy. I would be very proud of it. Anxious to see it finished. Good luck in the contest.
nconverse211 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 My girlfriend just started this model. Awesome start, good luck!
SuperStockAndy Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the compliments Well, I got the body painted! (Sorry for dark photos...dark day in Indiana) Now, I can't decide on stripes. White, black, or none at all? I like it all three ways. I just can't decide. I'm learning towards no stripes, one less thing for me to screw up Edited April 28, 2012 by SuperStockAndy
pharr7226 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Andy, you're doing a great job and I wish you well in the contest. Keep up the good work..
