Well I'm kind of into hobbies and doing models and whatnot, so i started working on a model of my car... 91 Z28. So far I've got the motor done and i do a little more each day, since I'm very precise with my work. I'll update pics upon request. Let me know what you guys think.. Hope you'll like it

 

That looks sweet man. You did a really nice job. I'd like to see updates as you work on it.

 

...

 

Looks nice. Need some centerbolts... stupid model co LOL

I have a 92 Z28 model I started building to be a match for mine... I need to work on that one of these days, just need to paint the body.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. Its actually a 92 heritage model cuz thats all they made...but i dont have to use the stripes lol.

 

...

 

They made a non-heritage package 92 Z model, that's what I got. I want you stripe decals if your not gonna use them

 

You can have em for nothing. Im gonna use the other decals...just not the stripes. There's a red set, and a black set.

 

That's awesome man. I'll pm you tomorrow. Thanks

 

Sounds good.

 

In between watching the Devils game and working on this I got some suspension parts painted, rear end painted, exhaust painted, and got the manifolds glued on. :-)

 

...

 

Nope, you can find them. Try searching for Knight Rider or KITT on modeling sites or fleabay

To the OP: I'd like to see updates as well. I also bought a camaro model after I got my 92 and plan on making a miniature of my camaro. Only problem I have is finding an earlier Z28 hood with the lovers to match what is on the car.

 

They make the 85 z28 model...but thats if your willing to buy the whole kit for just the hood lol.

 

Yes -___- thatd be really nice if GM was this easy haha

 

Looks good man-I use to build model's all the time when i was younger, but once I could have real cars I stopped. I tried to get back into it a few times, but can't-would rather work on my RS. keep up the good work.

 

That looks great, does any company make a 1:18 scale mid '80's trans am? Preferably in die-cast.

 

which model is this? i have like 3 untouched 1/8 monogram iroc,s i have to start.

 

I love doing scale models. I wish I could find this kit. Only thing is, is the spoiler removable? and I would have to change the hood some how to make it look like mine.

 

looking good! nice work. if you really want to go for detail, ive seen guys cut up little pieces of phone wire and super glue them on as sparkplug wires. its tedious, but adds more detail.

 

I actually use fishing line on all my models. Haha. I'm 21 so my eyes aren't too shot yet. To answer everyone's question altogether, I got this from J Bar Hobbies in Michigan. Got to me in three days. Yes the spoiler is removable. And as I said before this is the 92 Heritage model that I'm making look like my 91 minus the stripes. My car has ghost flames...but I'm not that talented to put flames on a model. Things guys

 

Didnt feel like playing hockey with my buddys today, so I got some more work done. Seats which match mine exactly, and painted the wheels white as they should be. I also put little black triangles in the wheels, since they are actually solid...so I kind of wanted the effect you can see thru them.

 

Some more...

 

Got some updates. Got all the interior done except the dash, stereo, and steering wheel. Have to touch up just a few minor details. Came out pretty good if i say so myself

 

...

 

Yupp ive done this. these are at my parents in my room so i cant take other pics of them, but i went all out with left over GM paint that i had for the camaro lol Expensive little paint job!!! one is a hot rod all red/chrome, and the other one next to it i tried to make it original as can be.

Where did you find the Camaro Model? ive been looking through hobby shops never found one

This site. I get all my models from here. Gets to me in a couple days. And packaged real nice.

 

Finally after exams for school and working on my real car...i have time to work on the model again. Almost done. Got the suspension all done. Chassis is done. Put the dash on. Hope you guys are still interested... Got a few pics..

 

Just a few pictures of my 1991 Formula with some of my add on mods, such as a STB in the engine bay, dual dual exhaust tips, black diamond Trans Am wheels and a tinted rear hatch.

 

Nice work!

 

Very cool

 

...

 

Did you do that yourself? That's sweet!

 

Thanks, yes I made that model several years ago. The 1:24 Monogram kit was Bright Red so it only needed several coats. The wheels came from a 1:24 Monogram kit of a 1987 GTA and I able to use the tinted rear glass also from that kit. The hood supports are really the rear shocks. Enclosed is a picture of the real Formula, and also the Banshee Concept car that the 1991-92 Firebirds copied some of the styling cues.

 

a little tip on the tires, if you didnt already know is to take some sand paper and scuff the tread area that naturally touches the ground. It adds quite a bit of realism.

Great work guys.

 

Yea my dad said he did that when he used to do models as a kid. I probably will too once they're on the car. I just painted the body yesterday, I gotta go to the hobby shop for some clear coat and then all the fine details and assembly. Can't wait to try and paint the headlight buckets... should be fun.

 

Well.... Im finally done..except for the makeshift hood support lol Good amount of pictures to put up. It could have been a little better (a little orange peel and the wheelgap) but im happy with the outcome. Hope you guys like it! Please tell me if you dont

 

more..

 

You should paint the bottom interior side of the third brake light black.

 

Good call. Thanks

 

Wow, love all the models! These are amazing!

 

Thank you.

 

Haha I took the model to a car show i was at last night and put it up on the dash and people wanted to know where i bought it..... i replied www.imadeitmyself.com

 

where di dyou find a 91? i ended up grabbing a 89 .. i wish i had the 91 or 92. i notice yours still has the older model dash? odd. im doing mine whit ealso but im waiting on the 2013 zl1 model so i can steal some parts so it matches my car

 

What I got was the 92 model cuz I couldn't find the 91. But you can get them at jbarhobbies.com lots of stuff they have there.

Yeah , I photo shopped my car years ago with dual-dual round exhaust sticking horizontally out just beneath the bumper and decided those cars would have looked better like that than the factory hidden dual exhausts.

 

It is a very nice touch I also agree.

 

wow !thats awesome. one of a kind no doubt. great job!!

 

Thank you!

 

Looks good!
I wanna do the same to match my car as well. Except I'd need a c6 model as well to steal parts from as well.

Anyone know if you can get a cowl hood for a model as well?

A model would keep me busy and alot cheaper than working on the actual car itself.
