brandolsx Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I have always wanted to make a model to match my actual car. My buddy Steve Smiley (Terminator-Fox) gave me an MPC Camaro IROC kit. I couldn't have been more excited. I am still early in making models. This is just my 5th. I had to get a C5 Corvette kit to get the matching wheels and brake kit. This is my first time mashing up kits to make one kit. It was a fun and also frustrating journey. It turned out pretty good and I am satisfied with it. I started with what I thought my car color was which is flame red, but this was no where near the color of my car. I ended up using the color call mystical maroon. The decals were custom made Joseph Osborn from Fireball Modelworks. If anyone has any decals needs be sure to contact this guy! He was such a help.

freakshow12 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Looks great. Now if your real car sat like the model it would be killer....
brandolsx Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) The Process: C5 Z06 Wheels: Origianl GM "Flame Red" Paint. Definitely doesn't match at all! LS Engine: Chassis: Edited February 27, 2014 by brandolsx
brandolsx Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Had to strip the color: New Paint: Mock Up:
Terminator-Fox Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Looks great. Now if your real car sat like the model it would be killer.... Where the car stays it's not in the cards for it to be lower but someday it will. Looks awesome Brando!!!!
brandolsx Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Looks great. Now if your real car sat like the model it would be killer.... Thanks! Yeah I agree! The car is stored in a basement garage while I am finishing college this year. To get it out there it is a steep driveway and would be stuck if it were any lower! That is first on my agenda once I get another place to store it!
MsDano85gt Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 very awsome that maroon is what i used for my "crimson cat" mercury capri foxbody i'm working on
Erik Smith Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Nicely done replica! Great work. Those decals look very good.
am73grand Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 This is awesome!! Nice IROC and the model looks just like it!! Good job!
o-man Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I'm a Mustang guy but that is hot! I assume your street car has an LS in it? Your model and screen name say yes
streetmachine11 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Thats a sweet iroc I'm a bit of a fan your replica turned out fantastic makes me want to start on the replica of my 1:1 Jason
Johnny1973 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Great work on the IROC.Engine looks great!Nice color
Greg Cullinan Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Nice car and model. Did a great job getting the model to mirror the actual car.
Skydime Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 You did a great job replicating your 1:1 and an excellent build of that kit. I had it when it first came out and almost cut my thumb off trying to turn it into a convertible. Glad to see yours didn't get slammed against a wall like mine did.
Jeremy Jon Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Very nice build, looks great! +1 for Joseph, great guy!
