Frankenstein revealed: Challenger/Camaro/Mustang...all in one model!

[ZoomZoomMX-5]

This model was a whole lot of fun up until Tuesday when attempting a very minor repair my airbrush spilled satin clear lacquer over the roof, hood, header panel, windshield and front fender of the model moments before completion

It had to be taken back apart, body completely stripped of detail parts and refinished; amazingly the glass was completely unharmed, the polish must have protected it as it buffed out perfectly. Refinishing included a bout with fisheyes. And four repaints of the roof alone due to problems with me, the paint, and bad karma, I guess.

It was finished up Friday morning, lightning didn't strike it on the way to the show, and it attracted a good bit of attention this weekend; my humor returned after feeling like I'd give up the hobby for good after goofing it up so badly . I'd love to see this thing as a 1:1 concept at SEMA...the car companies would all have a conniption

I love doing stuff like this; it's fun seeing people's reactions...both good and bad-I tend to like provocative designs (that doesn't mean Aztek, by the way ). I love how it came out, but I'm sure there are people that might have a lot less favorable reaction, and that's okay too. Hit me w/any questions/comments!

That is simply fantastic!! Really cool design work, great bodywork & an absolutely stunning, flawless finish that doesn't show up any of the trials & tribulations you had with it!

A beautiful model!!

It actually flows very well! I especially like the detailing done with the flat black paint.

The car looks like it should already be in production! Your parts all flow together and the car looks good. I love the way it looks.

Haha, nice work!

That is just super sweet. Did you use a AMT Camaro and Challenger parts with Revell mustang parts???

[sportracer02]

Great job, everything fits

[MidMazar]

Bob this is exactly what i love the most about each car and you have put it all in one. Great imagination and end results. Thanks for sharing. Even with the mishap it looks like nothing happened to it.

Thanks, and yes...AMT Challenger & Camaro. One reason I used AMT Camaro was the separate hood (Challenger kits have separate hoods too) and side glass that the Revell Camaro doesn't have.

Fantastic idea. The composite looks better than any one of the conributors.

Thats sick!!! The Camaro roof flows really well with the Challenger nose, and the Stang rear.

The only thing that I might of changed are the mirriors, they look a little big.

fantastic work!! Love it!! Perhaps GM-Chysler-Ford should have merged together in order to survive. I think the profit shape of the challenger and camero are so similiar so they can get along well. Very throughtful idea and superb workmanship!! I am wondering if it can go reversely? (front end=mustang; side=challenger, tail end=camero)

Yep! Now I want to see a Fiat Panda body in the middle!

Jokes apart, stunning job. I'm not quite expert on your american stuff but I'm amazed by the surgery and finishing quality. Neat.

I'm also interested to see if the opposite would work... I tink you woud have parts for other two combinations... isn't it?
