'76 Camaro, Bumblebee

[jabel]

Hello!
There will be a movie car GB for my nex local model show, so I'd like to build Bumblebee from Transformers. There are some problems with it, because nobody made the '76 one Camaro, and there are some '74 kits, but imposibille to buy one.
I bougth the '70 one and a transkit for the '74. Now I just have to modify the rear window. Of corse with the special details of the movie car











And this will be the bigges question

[jabel]

I glued the teo ends of the car in their places:

Revell makes a '79 camaro if that helps you. I think it is closer to a 76 than the '70 1/2 would be. Might save some labor...

Yes i know it, I have one. But unfortuntely I have to rebuild the ends of the car (completly different) and I have a transkit what is 1:25 one. The revell is 1:24. So I had the choise that I'll have to rebuild the ends of the car, or the rear window
But thank you for the help

Hello!
I found a 1/12 one paper model and I think it could help me a lot

Hello!
I'm here again after a little sanding and some exams. Now it starts to remind Bumblebee

[jabel]

Hello!
This morning I finished the sanding after twoo weeks, and primered the body. Of corse I applied some putty after it. I have just one question: How will I finish it fot next weekend??? (there will be a compteition and a movie cars GB finish)

Hello!
I painted the base coat of Revell rust. I can't wait to try the hairspray technic!

[jabel]

Hello,
Now I could try the hairspray technic. when I started it worked well, but whlle it started to drying it sterted to become difficult, because the base rust layer wasn't protected as good as before. But I think after somer pastel powder and a little dry brushing it won't be a bad firtst-try

Nice project you have here. I must say that I built this kit in the past and it is reather nice. Only had small issue with firewall. But of course that was 6 years ago. Look forward to this. And building one for myself as well. Though not a bumblebee

Keep it coming

Hello!
I havn't had as much time as I would, but now the interrior started to be complete. And I'll have my final exams tomorrow so I'll can start building it in a normal way

[jabel]

Hello!
I nearly finnished the interrior, and started to weathering the body





But I couldn't make the rear window yet, I hope I'll could do it, because I really don't want to throw away as much work as I had whit it. All depends in a :censored: window...

I've made a disco ball too!!!!

[ChristopheB]

Excellent work so far!

[nugundam93]

disco ball ftw!

oh, what kind of paint did you use for the body? it seemed semi-matte/close to matte as it is and it captures bumblebee's weathered look very nicely.

Nice, the Accurate Miniatures Corvette Gran Sport kit should have the intake manifold you need. The Weber carburetors should be readily available in many kits and also on Ebay. Good luck with this project! I like how it's turning out so far.
