Posted by Cubrooski on Saturday, May 10, 2008 8:45 PM

Here it is, I had such a blast doing this model and I can't wait to start my next project which be a Nissan 350z, I learned a lot on this build, this is my first time really trying to figure out how to model on par with the rest of the fine builders whose work I see on here.

WOw, I hope my Super Bee in yellow comes out that good! What yellow paint did you use? I've heard that Yellow is one of the hardest colors to do properly (so naturally I had to do my Nee that color! Whistling [:-^]

Nice--those obvioulsy aren't the stock wheels?

All in all though, a nice job!

Thank you Doog, I used Testors Model Masters Insignia Yellow, over a coat of duplicolor grey primer, and then future, and after that I used this three step meguires polish wax that I use on my truck. The wheel are Hoppin Hydro's 20" Bellajeos

Nice work.  I like the yellow and black attack.  69 Camaro's are my favorite car so you know I like it!

Thank you Mike, I was talking to my wife this morning about it, and I told her I realized that the smithsonian isn't going to be knocking dowm my door to buy the model so that the look of the 1969 camaro will forever be preserved in their archives but I'm happy to just complete a model to where it looks somewhat decent.

Ok I'm not gonna suger coat things, I never do.  I give credit whre it's down and oppsite the same.  The wheels are WAY too big for that car, although the design of the wheels themselves is very nice.  The rest of the car is VERY nice, and you did a spectacular job.  The paint looks great, and the decals look painted on, so a definate kudo's.  Everything on the body looks flawlessly applied.  Even with the wheels being like they are, I still give the model an overall two thumbs up.
