tim boyd Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Randy said: Hey guys, it's been about 2yrs since I've posted on here and built a model.. I haven't left the hobby, but had a lot of things going on that kept me from building models... Mainly my 1:1 car I'm building (1970 340 Swinger) I've still been collecting kits over the past two years and finally decided to start building one up. I have been working on this one for about two weeks and it's almost complete. It went togather pretty good. It had a few little issues but nothing major. I figured I'd post in here and say hi! And show what I've been working on. It's box stock with some extra wiring, BMF, flocking and seatbelts. It's automotive base clear (custom mixed colour) ************************************************** Randy....wow that looks really sharp. '70.5 is my most favorite Camaro, and the AMT-Ertl kit is pretty good, but you did an outstanding job of making the most of the kit and the car. Congratulations.... Now...if you don't mind, tell us a little more about your 1/1 '70 Swinger 340 (also a personal favorite of mine, and one I wish we had a kit of....) Best regards...TIM
Shelbytona Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks guys for all the comments! It was a fun one to build and I plan on doing another one soon. (I have a photo etch set for this kit) Hey Tyrone I will dig up some pics of the nova for you. I know I have pics of it being built. Hey Tim, here is a short video of the Swinger I'm building... It's like building a model, but a little more expensive! Haha. It's an original 340 4 speed car. Factory hemi orange with black interior. It's going right back to original, but it's proved to be a bigger challenge then first expected! I have about 1000hrs into it so far and the next challenge is the front frame rails. I'm waiting on them so that's why I built this model... I'm still waiting so I'll build another model in the meantime!
Snake45 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Magnificent model! Is that color Classic Copper? I've got an original AMT 70 annual to restore (non-RS, with vinyl top) and I'm thinking of Classic Copper for the paint. I hope mine comes out as well as yours! Well done!
MADDOG Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Outstanding build! Love the colors you choose. Just wonderful.
tbill Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 absolutely love the color combo, beautiful job all around. I must admit, the Camaro build pales in comparison to the work on the dart though fantastic work on the sheet metal replacement, that is going to be a beautiful car again when you're done, great save!
Jeremy Jon Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Super nice build Randy, paint work & finish look great!!
MeatMan Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Nice attention to detail. I'm going back to basics to work on that very quality. Great paint combo as well.
mikemopar70 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Your Camaro is very cool, i like the colors and the paint is smooth along with a really clean build!!
