Snake45 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Those seats look fabulous! I've wanted to do a houndstooth interior for years and have even figgered out a couple ways to pull it off, but doubt that I have the skill and/or the patience to actually DO it. Well done!
Scale-Master Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Some of the Revell '69 Camaro kits came with houndstooth decals. The Pace Car has them, but in the limited use orange and black. There is another kit that has the hockey stripes and rally stripes that also includes black & white houndstooth seat decals. The pattern is identical to these, (I did the art for those kits and pulled the same pattern from my files). But I don't know how well the '69 decals work on '68 (or '67) seats. Some trimming would be required, if they are wide enough to cover the earlier years. The '69 upper seat areas also have six little buttons printed in the art to match the seats. While the buttons are tiny it would be up to the builder if that was too much to deal with on the other years.

Didn't mean to come off as a "hater" (whatever that is), but the stinger on this hood just doesn't look like the real one to me. But maybe it's just me. But for those who like it, good for you. i can see what you're sayin Snake.
slusher Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Love the seats with the decals. Your doing some impressive work Fred...
Scale-Master Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Who is Fred...? These are the finished tires. Instead of using the small raised lettering (which looked out of proportion to the Goodyear lettering), I made decals in dark gray to cheat them. I also made the decals for the blue lines and Goodyears.
Scale-Master Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 The engine is getting close to being finished. Just a little paint detailing to be done after it is installed. I made a bracket for the alternator and ran a fuel line from the pump to the carb.
bpletcher55 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 nice work ! looks good , I had a R/S-SS the same colors but with the stripes back in the 80,s . it had a blue interior though ,
Scale-Master Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks! I took care of removing the wind wings at the same time I made the deluxe lower window trim.
horsepower Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I'm going to do a small block version too, but I chose to use the '69 Nova engine and headers, thinking about finding a cross ram intake manifold, but just might stick with the factory single four barrel high rise.
Scale-Master Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Del, the Revell '69 Camaro kit has a 302 with a cross ram. I just used this AMT engine because it was handy and I already used the body for another project.
Scale-Master Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 I painted the rear rims, (just loosely set in the tires).
slusher Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 What did you paint the wheels with?? they look great..

It's so flat it almost looks gray. The side walls were shot with Semi Gloss Black before decaling and then Dullcoted. Once dry I just rubbed them to knock the flat "up" to look like they were Armor All'd.
Scale-Master Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Oh, I just realized you asked about the wheels Carl, not the tires. The silver is Alclad. I thinned it with medium acrylic reducer and shot at as low a pressure I could and still get the paint to come out of the airbrush.

Coincidence, I was looking at one today in Wallyworld, I'm gonna have to dig through my stash to see how many of those I've got put away. I'm thinking I've got at least two left.

Tires look great also.
