Wee, if things went that far start thinking about a junkyard or repair shop diorama.

I hardly have the skills required to build a freaking model, let alone build a diorama

So,

I gave up on trying to make my messed up Camaro body perfect due to all the crap that has happened to it as many i am sure have seen through my threads.


So today i decided to give my new Airbrush a shot and decided to try my luck at a little custom mixing.

This is what i ended up with,

Did a white primer coat on the body, then aplied a single coat of Testor #1208 ( light Blue) i then mixed a 3 to one of Tamiya Metallic Blue X-13 (3 parts) to Tamiya Chrome Silver X-11 ( 1 part ) and then mixed it 50/50 with Tamiya Thinner X-20A

And i got this which i was pretty happy with

Crazy. But it looks good! It's come out alot better than I expected.

And of course you're learning, which is the best part.

Now, try clearcoating it with some Tamiya acrylic clear.

[michael lambert]

Well MPWR, Hopfully i can do alittle more impressing.

While i did take the advice of many here and stopped putting soo much time into this body, i did clean it up alittle rebilt the Apilars and tried to clean up the ass end of it.

Please check out the updated body HERE.

Just one more thing to think about. The carb cleaner that was used is still in the plastic and has the potential to bleed into the paint, just like in 1:1 models (real cars). But then again, it makes a great practice kit and if you can salvage it enough to get something decent out of it, then I am sure the person who was just trying to help won't feel so bad after all is said and done. And before I get trouble for being soft on the guy, I am sure all of us have been on both ends of this story. Just recently, my son took apart three different partially assembled kits to "Fix" them. Been there, done that.

Even I didn't know it :P
Thnx for the tip mate!

Nice save. I had a similar thing happen on my Camaro build.. I used that House of Color Custom Colors paint it applyed too hot and seemed to etch the plastic... ended up buying a new kit for the body.

But i think yours would have been great for a pro street drag build or a road race car build. I ended up sanding mine down and totally shaving everything off and probably turn it into a road racer of sorts.

But it turned out fine! Nice!

You did your best to save it, and as long as You feel good about your outcome then all is well........The other thing is i hope your brother learned his leason now. ...You are a better person than me cause when my brother did almost the samething to me i ended up breaking his finger. it was an acceident at least thats what i told my mom.......Mind u he's the oldest

Hello
After reading everything that has been posted this far..I to can feel your pain..I recently had to trash a body do to my adventures with oven cleaner.. I have recently used a product to safely remove old paint from a 4 year old body in 45 minutes..It has NO affect on your plastic at all, It will look as it did before your mess up..It is called STRIP-A-KIT made just for this purpose..Works GREAT no more trashing bodies it will remove everything I put it on except ALCLAD products...Give it a try you will like it's many uses..Good Luck!!!
