Dude. Lil' Homies rock. All I have to say about it.

(In light of the non-tech subject... ibtl...)

 

excuse me brad will not lock this or i'll kill him lol (just kidding brad)


this has to do with appearance and detailing.

 

Nice model but this is kinda nontech, might wanna be careful since your on probation. IBTL

 

Easy... come on man. I thought it was funny when you got put on probation, but you are going to get yourself BANNED this time!

 

excuse me this is appearance related so screw off

i built the model car today, i am showing it off, asking what you think. what just because i put those little figures in you guys are getting pissed off or somethin?

 

thats sweet man, good job, i dont think this doesn't have to do with appearance and detailing

 

here's two more for my loyal fans lol, i'm bored

and if you think i'm eating bandwidth, i'm not, because the pics are on my server :lala:

i'm thinking i can make a series if i go buy some more homies... lol like a comic book

 

I only like 1:18 and larger car models. I like the more realistic wheels. The Z is small, but it looks ok.

 

Hehe cool

IBTL

 

cool stuff man.....lol.....now only if they made a FORMULA model...ugh.,.....what i wouldnt give to find one. Nice job though man....

 

sweet,

I wish they make a 1/8th Scale in a 92Z.

I like my 85 1/8th Scale..

 

Do any companies still make em? I want one bad.

 

This thread will stay open for now because he is showing off his thirdgen model that he built. The Homies figures were just thrown in to "accentuate" . However, everyone needs to keep the fighting out of this thread. Flames will get the post locked even if it is on topic.

 

whered you get that model? i want one!

 

Hehe, I have one like that i havent got to put together yet, its going to be a replica of my car, i even bought a 94 model to steal the motor and seats from, also have one of an 83 I may consider selling, lets see some under hood pics

 

This is my 1/8th Scale... I got it at a local hobbie shop for $75.

I did tons of extra stuff. LIGHTS, Radio, fram oil filter etc..




More Pic's here

one more...

 

Heh OMG that's the coolest model ever... you go into almost every detail. A couple of those shots could seriously pass as being a real thirdgen if someone wasn't looking for it... even the interior shot.

And that's about the cleanest engine bay I've ever seen!

 

I would die to have one of them 1/8 scale ones.

I see it lights up, do the doors and hatch open also?

Can you get us a brand and part #??

 

I added the lights myself. I still need to finish the break lights and Dome light. and a switch.

Im still in the process of making door hinges, hatch and gas door open.

Its a MOMOGRAM # 85-2610

 

what do you use to do the fine detailing on the models?

i mean spraying the body is a piece of cake, but doing the lights and **** is hard as hell!!!! i bought a testor's enamel kit with a brush, and it turned out so crappy it's not funny

you got any pointers?

 

I used my air brush on everything. and have been doing models since I was a teenager.

 

Thanks for the #

Now time to search the net

Did you make the light kit, or bought a kit for somethng else, and installed it?

This is gonna be a blast. To bad they dont make it with the 6 banger in it, LOL

 

Cool

 

The first model that was a Z, can those still be bought and were could I find them. I have never seen those models sold with the 91 92 ground effects??

 

That model is awesome. I would suggest aound the side windows...painting those contoured parts black like the weather stripping. That is the only really obvious thing I saw that makes it not look real. You added some incredible detail, I'm loving it!

 

Yep. In time. Like I said Im cutting the door still so tey will open.


As for the lights.. I had to drill out out the housingd, goto radio shack find the right lights and wire it all up myself. and It still not done... side markers, rear and dome still need finished.



Good luck finding another. They pop up on ebay now and then. I have one more in a box in my basement. But thats already spoken for to a buddy if he gets off his *** and sends me my parts.....

 

Here are just a couple of my Camaro models....a 69 Z....and a 91 Z.....the 91 is a promo...but..I detailed it to look a lil more real. Detail is alot of fun to do to models....I go from plug wires...to battery cables....to brake lines....haha

 

there was a guy on here a month ago that won like 5-6 of these on an e-bay auction for liek 30 bucks....

 

sounds like me...



radio outa a alpine magazine I had.





Key chain with keys in ignition..

 

Lookin good TPI383....now...you have me wanting one!

 

My goodness thats alot of detail. Looks very real. The most detail I've seen is on a 1/10 british car with the fuel lines and spark plug wires labeled.

 

nice models!!

 

That was Easy..the guy who starte this thread. Nice models everyone. Good job Alex, it looks sharp!

TPI383 That 1/8th Camaro is Awesome too. Nice work!

 

i really wish that they made a sport coupe one......i have one but its a chevy chevelle ss to build yet.........

 

does he have anymore left i was interested in buyign one but he never contacted me.....

 

**

 

weird.. double post.. see below

 

don't think he replied to anyone because he never contacted me either. I was the first one that posted my e-mail asking about them and nothing!

Sweet models, want to do one of my car for shows and stuff, would be pretty sweet. Never saw a 91/92 vert model or any 3rd gen vert model.

 

haha sorry guys i got like 100 pm messages and i only have 4 models left, and all my buddies on the ontario board want one, so i don't even have enough for them. sorry go check ebay the guy who sold them to me sells cases of 6 all the time

you guys that are into putting together models, give me some tips. I have a 1969 and 2002 camaros , made by Revel 1/25th scale that I want to put together.

I have never put together a model before so any tips you can share even if it seems obvious, would help me out.

Also does the brand of paint matter? I was going to get the Testors brand from Walmart.
What about a spray gun? Walmart also has one of those By Testors, that one any good?

 

honestly don't use testor's paint it sucks, i used it for detailing and it sucked *** like seriously it sucked big time sucky sucky $5

i painted the body with auotmotive touch up paint you can find at your autostore... looks beautiful

as for detailing, i dunno!!!

 

I've used testors and plasti-coat...I've never had any problems with it. I've used automotive paints...primers and clears...and they seem to like "eat" the plastic......like some kind of reaction or something. When I paint my models....I do everything to them like doing to a real car.....wet sand the base color....clear it...wetsand the clear...then buff.....it's really not to hard to do...just gotta watch how deep you sand....

 

I was about to say the exact same hing. Auto paint will eat the body parts. etc..

and I wetsand coat and clear all my stuff also.

 

awesome man.....if you want that real car look...it's the only way to go
