Monty Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 As usual, your meticulous assembly process, spot-on detailing, mile-deep paint and print-worthy photography make this an outstanding example of modeling wizardry. The only thing this build lacks is a smug-looking driver and a stack of speeding tickets. I'd call it your best work, but the year is young.
Mr Stock Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Ok come on !.......... now show us the model ! Seriously good work !
am73grand Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Stunning build. I really thought the pics were of a 1:1 car. Nice work
kilrathy10 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Simply gorgeous looking car.....Hard to believe someone would pay 3.5 for something like this.....But if you got the money.....Great job capturing every little detail.....Definitely shows dedication to the hobby......Great job.....
ewaskew Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Great looking build man very good job. God Bless
Snake45 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Very, VERY nice! I especially like the '67 Rally Wheels, plus the fact that you painted the non-frame sections of the underside primer gray, a detail many Corvette builders overlook (including me, on most builds). Did you use the kit tires? Hard to tell. (I really dislike the kit tires in all three of the Monogram 1/12 kits, which are otherwise quite nice, and have been looking for some good replacements.)
Harry P. Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 You know, once you learn how to build a model, you'll be ok. Kidding, of course. And I'm looking forward to your next magazine feature, as we talked about.
Brudda Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 One of the best builds in this scale.You are the man!The paint jobs are so much harder on the bigger scales,more area to make them. Someone told me, it is 8 times the volume so 8 times a 1;24 build.The 1;12 scale model is the GT 500 2010 but in the convertible style.So far i have been on my car for 7 months,Seems the car needs something(sounds like my ex wife)trying to get back into building it.losing a little intrest,trying to fire it up again 1 1 Here is a sneek peek of my GT 500

unclescott58 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Very nice. Looks as good as it can get. I like it. Scott
Hawk312 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the comments. This is my take on the camaro Very nice! That red looks fantastic! I will be watching for a completed thread for that one!

Thanks Snake! Yeah, I used the kit tires. Though, I had to go searching through all of my kits (have about 10 "parts" kits of this kit) to find a complete set that wasn`t warped and was perfectly round. I am with you. I`m not to crazy about the kit tires. The look way to narrow, especially when on the Camaro kit!

And I'm looking forward to your next magazine feature, as we talked about. I`m starting to understand how these model things work. I am definitely looking forward to the magazine feature. It is an honor. Now I just need to get time and motivation to put it all together. November will be here no time.
captjeffro26 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 WOW! I thought these were reference pics until I saw the background. Exceptional!
freakshow12 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Think you could sell it to the 1:1 owner for 1/12 of the gavel price? I would try!...
