First GMP would like to thank Scott for his help on this project. Second, we at GMP thought it'd be cool to develop a Street Fighter program with you the G-Machine enthusiasts. We want to hear what YOU might do and possibly incorporate your ideas into the next 1:18 scale GMP Street Fighter. We chose the Camaro mostly due to the large assortment of optional custom parts already available to be tooled for that GMP diecast model. We also know that the 1st generation Camaro dominates the Pro-Touring scene and we'd get a large response.
I'm already seeing some good feedback and look forward to seeing more. One thing I might suggest is really think about
the details. We can be creative with color breaks and paint finishes. Think about finishes for wheels that could range from polished aluminum to satin finished spokes. Under the hood, there's tons of things to think about - how about a polished carburetor? How about carbon fiber air cleaner lids? How about custom photoetch emblems? We can really play with the deco and do some trick graphics.
I should probably mention this first but maybe your idea starts out as a "story" - have a
theme. A story sells just about anything and it can also help the theme of your design which will help to keep "the look" of your design consistent.
For example, maybe you do a Trans Am tribute car. Overall theme is based off of an existing T/A Camaro or it could just have a really cool competion look that is modern but pays tribute to the road course warriors of the 60's and early 70's. It could even have racing numbers on it? Just an idea.
We'd like to set the cut-off date for Tuesday October 3rd for all input on this project. Scott and I will talk about your suggestions on Wednesday October 4th and then I will present them to "the gang" here at GMP.
Thanks,
from GMP
