1/25th Camaro quickie and another of the GTO

[city_ofthe_south]

The Camaro really was just a quickie .... open window, storm, wind, model hits the floor - so i rebuilt it to test my painting skills. However, I've never much liked metallic paint on models because it's like the flakes aren't to scale ... ya know? well no more metallics for me most likely, even though it's a slick color. the wheels are the OOBs from the GTO ... they were too nice to waste but the tires look HUGE coming from a 1/24th going onto a 1/25th. In fact you can image that the front tires are hitting the top of the fenders. oh well, it still looks good. with all the material in the metallic paint i once again put it on too heavy and couldn't get all the orange peal out.

QUESTION to modelers: My Challenger is going to have a painted TA-like stripe. I'm Useing DupliColor touch up cans for my colors. How long would anyone reccomend waiting between the two colors? It will be black with a blue stripe ("Drive" TV show inspired but in a TA ... well because that's what is effin offered) ... so I lay down my black, don't want my tape to lift the paint but i can't think of any other concerns involved with laying down the blue... 24 hours? Just as a teaser my Challenger is also going to have Viper seats and brakes. yeah, i didn't think you'd care Thanks in advance, enjoy the pics.
