mikemopar70 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Hi folk's Here's an update on my COPO.. The clear has been polished after a month drying period.. And it looks perfect factory finish. The Wet-Look Testor's lacquer does work pretty well at this task.. A mock up of the engine on chassis with interior.. A view with the tire lettering form Fireball Modelworks decals, very nice products and awesome service.. Edited May 11, 2014 by mikemopar70
mikemopar70 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 The interior parts have been painted with Plutonium G paint, and the color is deep space (semi-flat black) spayed over Plasti-Kote gray primer and followed by an Golden paint acrylic wash over the entire parts even the seats (wash have been achived with Golden paints black liquid acrylic and Golden airbush medium thinner, 80% thinner and 20%paint approx.) . This Plutonium G paint is a U.S. product that i found in an art store here in QC.. And the Golden acrylic paints as well. And i used black embossing powder to replicate the carpeting. Here is the interior mock up.. Only the dashboad and steering wheel have bee painted with Model Master acrylic to have a different sheen habitually seen on 1:1 cars... And the bare-metal does give a bit of life ont this all black interior... See you next time with completed engine and interior, thank's for the comments.. Mike...
freakshow12 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I love it. The blue plug wires kill it though : (
Tompidom Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 The paint is looking killer! But i agree with freakshow on the plug wires.
Jon Geddes Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Love how the paint turned out and the carpet effect in the interior is brilliant!
Bowtienutz Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I really like your interior work but you have to ditch the blue wires on the engine if your going for a factory fresh look. the wires would have been black and tied together with looms.

Thank's for the comments... I'm not going into a factory fresh car, since i've done some weathering under the car, i want to represent a 6-8 month old car that dont know winter yet.. Most of the times, owners tuned their engines to give more performance as soon as they quit the dealer lot.. I rermember my friend with it's 340 Duster, he borrowed a set of plug wires and they were blue, they were of premium performance quality, but i don't remember of what brand they are.. My black plug wires are not scale-exact and the other color i have is orange!! This is why i used the blue ones, and not to forget that a didn't completed the engine yet, there is still work to do on this part.. With the summer coming with all the work to do outside the house, my project have slowed a bit, but i keep this one going, because it's doing great and i have fun building it!! Again thank's for the comments.. Mike... Edited May 12, 2014 by mikemopar70
mikemopar70 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Hi folks! It's raining a lot here, so i decided to give my Camaro a lenght.. Here is the assembled chassis with it's engine installed, with the interior tub placed for test-fit!! From another angle.. And a mock-up, i shot outside,,, It's nearing completion now, i hope in the next days or so!! I like this Revell kit a lot, it looks cool with these tire decals from Fireball Modelworks(make the model stand out a lot better than the blackwall ones!) Stay tuned!! Mike..
