Yes, the Nationalistic Blue. Ahhh, what a color. :lol: Thanks for the comments fatty. :lol2: I'm not exactly sure on how to blackwash... :confused: :screwy: I'm trying to get some more done now.. I'll get some updated picture's in a little bit. :thumbsup:

Looks good dude! And by the way Welcome to AF!

Thank's man!

UPDATE: Headlights are in, radiator is being painted as well as fan, master cylinder, and heater core. This bad boy is almost done! I can't wait to get it done!!!! :grinyes:

aghhhhhhh dammit! so much for the hood... stupid stripes ripped... :( oh well, no hood stripes then..

Welcome to AF!!
One of my favorite kits you are building here

Thank you. Hehe, too bad them stripes got messed up, I'll get some help from one of my friends to help me mask and paint the stripes.. :thumbsup: I am very fond of some of your projects primera man. They are very well done. And good luck on your Infiniti G35/Nissan Skyline GT350, and '69 Camaro Z/28!!

Welcome. (no need to reply to that)
Nice job on the model. If it's the revell kit, just wait until you try to secure the hood. The one I built had a very warped one that I had to almost break to get to sit nicely on the car.
Do a search on 'blackwash' in the main forum. It's a pretty neat thing to do if you want to add a touch a realism to the chrome parts.

Don't forget to check out the FAQ's and the HOW-TO'S. it's a gold mine!

(no need to reply to that either). ;)

lol thank you for your assistance. and the hood seems to fit very smooth and very nice.. thats the only bad thing about models, some parts fit good, and others dont.. lol

UPDATE: Just got the radiator, fan, heater core, & master cylinder in the car. Started to detail the engine and did the chrome around the side windows. Unfortunately, this car will not be so detailed because I do not have the proper stuff to do it. But it'll look decent.. I'll try and get some updated pictures tonight.. Trying to get as much done as I can..

lookin good. just a tip, try to resize your pictures a little smaller, so they are more friendly to those of us with small screens

thanks! yes, I know about the resizing. Takes so long for Photoshop to open on my computer... lol I'll remember to do that next time...

same way here. you can resize in paint as well. when you open the picture just pres ctrl+w and then you can type in the percent you want. i usually resize to 35. but anywhere from 35 to 45 should work.

thanks. :) I just took some almost finished pictures... Lookin' mighty nice I must say..

Alright, some updated pictures:

Thank you! I'm glad I'm getting all these good comments about it! I was not rushing it to get it done. I still have a ways more to go.. I just don't think it will be as detailed as I would have liked it to have been. I'm probably going to blackwash the chrome, re-do some details, silver the emblems, trim, maybe even change rim's and tires.. (possibly). So many things I can do..

Welcome to the AF-family :wave:

Nice work on the Chevelle but IMO the rims need a blackwash.
Keep it commin'.

Thank you. I have to first learn how to blackwash. I am still nowhere NEAR finished with this thing. So don't worry, I'll keep 'em comin'.. :biggrin:

Ill teach you how when ever you get some time give me a ring. Also use the hoppin hydros vortexs on this, it would look awsome!!!

Thanks fatty. :lol2: I would like to use them, but the axles on this car for the wheels now, aren't going to correspond with what the Vortex's have. The Vortex's require a straight axle, and the one's the Chevelle has are totally different.. :mad: I would definitely like to use the Vortex's on this... :iceslolan

yo rich this thing sux i hate it....j/p i like it its sick and nice choice of colors!!! to bad the stripes riped but still its nice without them.

Joey, you suck at life. just kidding, thank you for your feedback. Much appriciated. Yes, I agree with the color I chose. French Blue (or as I call it, Nationalistic Blue), but I think it would look better with the stripes, but that's just me...
