I could not figure out how to get the weathered look I was going for. What were you thinking of on the Camaro? Did you ever think of DOT Filtering? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 The Camaro has a back story. The idea was for it to be a car someone with lots of motivation, and desire to go bracket racing, but not a lot of money and body work skills pieced together to go racing. I was going for a red base model camaro our hero found at a junk yard with considerable body damage to the hood, front fender and drivers side door. He found a white door and hood from a Z28, the white panels will have z 28 decals. The front fender has gray primer, and the nose is an unpainted new or reproduction part. I wanted to make the red parts of the car look like faded, tired 70s paint, as it might look in the mid 90s. I did not know any thing about weathering, and it is something I am just now starting to try. I also have a 70s chevy van I was planning to use as a tow vehicle, and the trailer from the 76 impala kit. I also messed up the paint job on the Van at least twice. so The whole project got shelved when I decided to focus on airplanes. That being said, a dot filter is something I am willing to try.

Spectre711 Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 The Tigercat above was my fist try at the dot filter possess and I'm sure I'm going to use it again. Hardest part is waiting for the oils to dry cause if you dont like it you can just ad more of a different color or remove it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre711 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Well, I received confirmation that the GB is going to happen but I'm not sure of when it's going to go yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I "think" its January. But Neo confirms that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 That was the start date I requested but haven't heard. I sent a PM but don't want to bug him about it since its still a ways off. People get busy in the real world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Isn't January when the Mig Killer GB kicks off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 There are usually 2-3 GBs running concurrently, so it is most likely the Mig GB will be going at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre711 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Things have been a little distracted for me the last few days but start building. We will get things sorted out once the GB forums are updated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 We have about a week and a half on this build if you want to try and get something out of the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Wow, time has flown. especially since I haven't really progressed on my shelf Queen at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 sadly I haven't been doing much building at all let alone on the shelfers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
