Seventeenth Completion of 2013 -- 2001 Corvette Z06

[Steve_L]

My daughter Melissa is engaged to Kevin, who has a 7-year old daughter, Meagan. While we were at dinner to celebrate Kevin's birthday, Meagan overheard me discussing the 1971 Charger model car I built for her Daddy. Afterward, she sweetly asked me if I could build her a "blue car." Well, I couldn't and wouldn't turn her down, so I set out to honor her request.

These are pictures of the Revell 2001 Corvette Z06 Snap Kit that I put together for her. I looked over my paint stash and decided that Tamiya Brilliant Blue would be the perfect color. I primered the body with Duplicolor Sandable White Primer. I shot the Tamiya Brilliant Blue and covered that with Testor's One Shot Clear Lacquer. I painted the interior with Krylon Semi-Flat Black. I assembled the kit, added the kit stickers and some detail painting. I created a Georgia License Plate with Meagan's name on it. The final assembly was quick and was the best experience I've had this year.

I'll give the completed project to her soon and I hope she likes it.

That's a blue care for sure. My guess is that she will love it.

I love it when I can build a car for someone....adults sure....always good........ but when you can do one for a young person....it really makes it fun....

Great build and of course I am seriously prejudiced....I love the subject matter!!!!!
