How did you go about BMFing the Camaro script? Did you cut out a rectangular piece of BMF, burnish it to the car, paint over it, and then wipe the paint off of the elevated script?

Looking great, by the way.

yes sir, that exactly how, i trim the BMF as close as posible to the script, same for the marker lights.

i use a q-tip and some WD-40 to clean off the paint. then i clear the car a few times.

a tip i learned from my buddy Peter

Great idea. I'd have never thought of that! My next model kit is a Revell '69 Z28 CrossRam. I figure I'll give this method a shot and see how it comes out.

Anyways, good luck with your build. It sure looks excellent so far!

Looking good so far, but I have to know, will you be changing the wheels to a more appropriate size of Torq-Thrust (period would be natural finish 15") or a factory wheel like a dog dish or rally?

I love the color!

You just so happen to be building one of my FAVORITE muscle cars of all time. And after seeing those pictures, you have done this car justice! Nice job, keep it up!!!

Read about this idea on another modelling site.. Great idea, and you have done a good job with it.. Being from the UK, don't get to see many US cars, even less of the US muscle cars.. Fuel prices scare us off importing them.. :LOL

I have to agree. The spokes on this kit just looks to thin. Great progress so far!

**WOW** ....That looks super James..

Great tip on the scripts too, save on photo-etch......LOL.....

I'll be following this closely, being a muscle car freak that I am....

cheers stump
