2003 Heritage Camaro WIP
I have been working on this car for some time now. My customer wants a duplicate of the 2003 Heritage Camaro, the real thing can be seen here.
http://www.2002firehawk-c26.net/HeritageFBody.html My customer purchased the body from a resin manufacture that I will not name here, but it was awful. It is a widebody Camaro that has all the features of the real Camaro being replicated but it had so many problems it was almost unusable. I used the Revell 35th Anniverserary Camaro kit as a donor. I had to remove the resin bodies roof and splice the the roof and A pillars from the Revell kit because the A pillars had so much extra resin molded in , that there was no way the winshield could fit. The hood was way to thick to be usable, so I cut the cowl hood scoop out and blended it into the kit hood. The front of the car was also to thick ,so I had to remove a section of the nose from the turn signals up so that the headlight buckets would fit . The rear spoiler required tons of fitting and sanding in order for it to fit. I don't mean to bash anybody, thats why I won't mentioned who cast this body, but I am glad my money didn't go to this caster. Any way here are some pics of where I am now. It took tons of work to get this far and it needs tons more. Decals are to be custom made.    Last edited by PRIVATEER; 07-29-2007 at 03:36 PM. |

It is painted. It has 4 coats of Tamiya Mica blue over a black basecoat, and about 6 coats of clear.

Re: 2003 Heritage Camaro WIP
Looking good. This is the first time I've ever seen the real version of those. I love that firebird.

Re: 2003 Heritage Camaro WIP
Here is where I am with the engine. I parts bashed an injector to look like the real thing, added plug wires, and detail with paint using dry brushing and washes. More detail will be added during the last stages of the build.

Re: 2003 Heritage Camaro WIP
What I can see of the engine is amazing! I love the different textures - was that molded in or is that a fancy paint effect? It looks very, very good! I can't wait to see this progress, this is a very cool project.
