Re: Corvette Summer Stingray in 1/25 scale

Hay Big Kahuna I was looking at the move last night an I see that the interior and the seats are not all in a leather look so I went back and Flocked the seats and sanded the front part of the dash all I have to do now is paint it.


I also went back over the head lights to make them look the right way. On the Real car the lights sit back pass the side turn lights So I added on to them and made them thicker and know I will mold them.



Ok I have the Fire Wall caps built now it's time to paint them.


I was look in through my spare tire box to get some tires that fit the wheel's I'm using as the one you have seen in the images I have posted are to big and I only have the one set.
See the small gap around the outer edge of the wheel:


I tryed AMT truck tires and don't like the look.


((AHHHHH))!!! found a two sets I like and there both Good Years. I don't know what kit they come from yet. I will let you all know once I find that out.
Oh I also made some resin copys of the wheels so both cars will have the same look.


Ok I do a lot of paint jobs I don't know why this one is hard for me but this is the two ways I could do the job you all let me know if you think I'm on the right track.
Ok My paint job styles. I can paint the mane car that will be the red one.
1. You can paint the body Met. Gold base, Let dry then mask the flam images off and paint a clear candy red over the Met. Gold base pull off the mask, let dry all of it dry. Re mask the edge of the flam and put your airbrush on fine setting and paint around the edge of the mask with clear Orange and then a Clear cot over it as your last step pull off the las mask and that is it for that way.

2. You can paint the body witha Met. Gold base let dry., Next paint over the Met Gold wht clear candy red Let dry. Mask the flam images on the now dry Cl.red.
Paint the Met Gold over the red let dry and re mask only the edge of the flam paint around the edges of the new masked places with Cl. Orange pull off and put on a Clear cot over it.

So you all tell me what you think.
Oh and as for the Stolin car from the move it was just painted a solid Gold color and that will be the first one I do.
Here's the Red I want to use over the Met gold base on the Red vette.
This is a project that I used the same paint job tha I will use on my vettes.
Gold Base:


Clear Tamiya Red over the Gold Base:


The paint I want to use for this paint jobs are:


So you all tell me what you think about how I should pait the red one, I will paint the gold one first as it's paint job is the easy one to do.

Oh and one last thing befor I let you all go I will have to plate the T-Top base as I don't think trying to wrap foil around it will work well so I'm going to use Alclad II Chrome ALC 107.


The next images will be of the full rolling finished chassis and the painted bodys. I need to get to work on the paint jobs right now.
"Later"
