kincer Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) My wife bought me this for Xmas, I wanted something simple to practice on before I started a more advanced kit again. This is the Revell Snap-Tite Camaro Concept car, I just completed the interior today. I have the body all prepped for primer and will be painting that soon at work. Here are some pics of the interior, it's amazing what a little patience can do, I always tried to hurry the process when I was a kid because I couldn't wait to see what it was gonna look like. I used a silver fine point Sharpie for the interior details. Edited January 10, 2015 by kincer
Scott Colmer Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Welcome back to the hobby, Dave. I look forward to seeing your progress.
Captain Obvious Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Welcome back! What color are you planning for paint? I need to get one of those silver Sharpies...
kincer Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Welcome back! What color are you planning for paint? I need to get one of those silver Sharpies... I have a few cans of Duplicolor 1988 Ford Ranger silver that I'm gonna use up since I already have it, I'm guessing there will be a few Snap-Tite models painted silver lol
Mopar - D Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Welcome back to model building good start on the interior.
slusher Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Welcome back to the hobby. Real nice looking interior..
BirdWatcher Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Dave, you'll find just about everyone comes back. I like the Duplicolor OEM cans too. Enjoy!

Auto paint is too hot to go directly onto the plastic, so it will etch into the surface and make a mess. Auto primer, like two coats, seals in the plastic so your auto paint goes on smooth. It's perfectly OK to use Duplicolor from the spray can on models, in fact I do mostly that because you will get a really nice finish. Edited January 11, 2015 by Tom Geiger
Sixties Sam Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 That interior looks good! I like the snap type models. They make very presentable models with little effort! Sam
tbill Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 welcome back to the hobby interior is looking great, nice work. looking forward to seeing your progress on this.
kincer Posted May 25, 2016 Author Posted May 25, 2016 Ok it's been a looooong time but I finally got back to work on this, got a couple coats of primer on this and scuffed and ready for paint.
kincer Posted May 26, 2016 Author Posted May 26, 2016 Ok I got my basecoat laid down, gonna let this dry a day or two then wet sand lightly and shoot with two coats of clear. I'm hoping this will look like Danno's first Camaro on Hawaii 5-O.
ssman Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Welcome back to the hobby looks like ya still have it going on good job

I know they're permanent on paper, but styrene or paint is my question?
Ramfins59 Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Welcome back to the hobby, and welcome to our plastic playground Dave.

I know they're permanent on paper, but styrene or paint is my question?These new sharpies work really well, just be sure to clean with alchohol first and if possible you can scuff the area lightly with a scotchbrite pad.
kincer Posted May 28, 2016 Author Posted May 28, 2016 My body is done and I wanna thank all of you here for all of the great info that I've read over the last year or so.
kincer Posted May 28, 2016 Author Posted May 28, 2016 Thanks guys, I wet sanded starting with 3200 and finished up with 12000 then some polishing compound, the pics don't do it justice.
kincer Posted May 28, 2016 Author Posted May 28, 2016 I know this Snapper doesn't have much detail but trying to make this as nice as possible, so a little extra detail here at the wheels. A couple shots with the body setting on the chassis
MrObsessive Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Dave, first a big welcome back! Second, that's a very good comeback effort! That silver is super smooth and sharp! I liked how GM translated the concept into what became the production car. My only gripe is that they made a post coupe out of it instead of a true pillarless hardtop. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite Camaros, and while the newest '16 car is nice, I still like this last one better.
