Gramps2u Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 I'd love to have one in my driveway, Very cool!
Austin T Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 As many know I'm not a corvette guy,but this is the exception right here!So cool.
Lunajammer Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 You might try a drop of Future to attach the headlights. I white glue or Future for gluing clear parts. I find white glue is better when there is some gap to fill or minimal surface for the Future to get a grip like on the windshield, but Future works well when it has a solid base, and I've never seen it crinkle like the white glue did, it always comes out clear when dry. Good to know Aaron. I've never considered Future for adhesion. Even clear enamel didn't occur to me, though it used to be in my arsenal before my 10-year hiatus claimed some of my previous knowledge. Thanks again folks for the comments.
bbowser Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Great concept, executed beautifully! I love it.
A.R.C. Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Thats a beauty Luna. Looks like a vehicle that would have been on dispay at a world expo back then. Very cool! I do something similar to Aaron for attaching headlights. I`ve used Tamiya clear for years now and have always had good luck. I paint the area the lens will be sitting then paint the entire backside of the lens itself and put it in place. It dries pretty fast and holds very well.
James2 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 "Bullet proof glass" Now that's funny! Great looking model. If I may ask... Why the green color interior?
Dominik Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Dude that belongs in the GM Motorama archives ! Very true to the concepts back then.x2 - that looks so beautiful...
Lunajammer Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 "Bullet proof glass" Now that's funny! Great looking model. If I may ask... Why the green color interior? Good question James. This interior was the inspiration for my color choices. My first choice was aqua blue, which looked good on paper but the painted parts against the gold were too loud, like circus colors. So I just learned from the pros.
mr moto Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 I don't know anything about the Cannonball Run but I know that build is COOOOOL!
DPNM Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 I'm new here but I like everything about this build, from the color choice(s) to the custom bodywork to the wheels/tires. My hat is off to you sir!!!
robertw Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 WOW....beautiful custom !! Your exterior color combination makes this model really pop.
Zarana-X Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 I normally don't care too much for Corvettes, but I like this. Looks like a period custom!
Kenmojr Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 Incredible work on this kit. Love what you did...
bisc63 Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 This has so many attributes that make it a believable "concept car' right from the GM Motorama! Very well considered build, it's just perfect!
Dave Darby Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Be still my beating heart! How did I miss this one?? 10 years ago. Wow. Anyway what an awesome concept and execution. Very timely that this thread was revived. Especially with the Vintage Workbench history of the Revell kit on the stands right now.
