As seen in the earlier page, the front is getting some Michelin TRXs and for the rear GoodYear Blue Dragons. The rims look sort of like Crager Super Sports, but if anyone can gurantee some name, that'll help.

I was looking at the Camaro, and was wondering if I should go spoilerless, Baldwin-Motion spoiler, or the RS one. I'm kinda leaning toward spoilerless right now, which is what I'll probably end up with.

a 70's style lip spoiler would do nicely in my opinion, or moulding a pillarless spoiler(joined at the sides) onto the back would look very modern.

Yeah go spoilerless! If you have to put a spolier on go for the RS type

Honoturtle · #37 07-30-2003, 05:31 AM

The car has under gone a some mods to the body, first off I shaved the trim around the wheel wells, the trim under the door, but I'm going to have to choose the RS rear lights because I drilled the holes in the rear pan when I first started, and didn't realize the difference between the lights. BTW, car is spoiler-less and has a Bladwin-Motion Hood.

Also: I just cleaned up my desk!

*EDIT*
Forgot to mention that the car is painted Insignia Red.

beautiful colour, does tamiya make it? what code is it? I might use it on a mustang.....sounds like a real 'parts bin special' to me, using different lights, engines and body combos. should look very neat when finished.

The paint, Insignia Red is made by "Plasti-Kote" which I used in my airbrush. I don't recomend the paint at all, this is the first time where "splotches" of paint came out all over. And the paint dosen't seem to be hardening, although it's touch dry but it feels like you could just peel it off! I hope I can still make the contest, if not I'll have to see what I can make out.

Looks great in that colour. How about a pic with the hood on? I put my models on a 3mm thick piece of ply then whack it on top of an oil heater just after I spray it, it hardens the paint quite well! Try doing soemthing like that, but don't have the heat up much. Slow baking works better for me.

Looking good hono. But, I've never tried doing the baking thing, i usually let my models air dry, that tends to work best for me. Hope your paint comes out good.

Time for an update?

As far as the Plasti-Kote, I never had trouble with that stuff, though it does seem to come out kinda thick. It should rub out very nicely though. The porsche on my webpage was done with Plastikote.

EMAXX · #43 08-12-2003, 05:57 PM

Looks very nice. I want to see some more pics.

Purpura Delujo · #44 08-19-2003, 05:08 AM

Hurry up and update this project already Malcolm
