The headlight covers make it racey! Good job on the bodywork.

Major set back! as I was cleaning my airbrush today I dropped it! Now I have no idea how i'm going to finish painting anything = (


I've got a badger 150 and I just dropped it on my basement floor straight on its tip. The needle was off (cleaning) as was the nose (i think that's what it's called )...what can I do, the website has no part ordering page. This is the part that's now broken, the metal tip was crushed in (hard to see in pic), This is the piece that connects directy to the body of the airbrush (not the tip)

You might want to thin the window trim, too, not just smooth it. It looks a little oversized and the side windows look small. Maybe it's just my crooked perception. Looks great though, I can't wait to see it done. It looks like something I would hide from under a park bench if I saw it on the street!

The Vette looks good. Nice work so far. I'll be waiting to see this done.
Sorry to hear about the airbrush. I can't help you with that. I don't know to much about them

[asaenz]

Yup that is going to look awesome.

I love the rims and offset.

I been wanting to do an art rendering of a C5-R street car.

Maybe if you can and are willing you can provide some picts. of your model when you are done so I can render that baby.

Can't wait to see that finish.

well here's the interior. I've added some 15" subs, an amp and decided to oust the passenger side seat for some space and use the intake piece (seeing as the hood is sealed) as a nos shelf..(i don't know but I think it's kew).

[StephenDeli]

Looks like its coming along great...I cant wait to see it done!

No...lol...=p

I somehow don't think chrome is the best material to conduct sound through. Call me crazy.

and even if it where it's tacky, and no...i won't leave the interior white. I'm still contimplating color schemes.

Hey ur doin the same as me. I've been doin the some kinda conversion on my C5-r. I have cut the front clip and plan on doin some remodeling to the rear end.

[spidereddie]

So here is some progress. I've been really busy with school and a newborn son but still making some time for the plastic cocaine. I switched the rims (see previous) and decided to opt for a dark red, no wing and the interior in black. Nothing is finished in terms of color or detail. I plan on some harnesses, more color, flock and maybe an amp in the interior. On the outside well of course I need to finish the job and do the regular details.

f.y.i. this was the first time i've used tamiya spray....surprisingly easy...WOW took me a whole 20 minutes to go from primed to this. As opposed to at least 4 hrs with setting up, painting, cleaning, putting stuff away, sand and polish before clear (just for a shine somewhat like this). See my gallery for the diff.

the pics of the paint are before any sanding or polishing. just paint.

[asaenz]

Sweet. Can't wait to see this finished.

I got my bro to send me some ref. material of the C5-R road car. That info combined with your model I should be able to do a nice artwork rendering.

well i've been able to color the interior, buff out the paint a little and add some details. here are a few pics. I'll post more as soon as I'm free enought to finish this thing. (big test coming up)


notice the nos...i made it from some other canister that came with the kit. I added the little nubs for the brace with some putty and the label was cut out from a picture from an add in an automotive magazine (fixed with pva glue and given a clear over it).


the interior isn't glued together yet
