Okay, just for fun, I decided to throw together the new 2014 Corvette Stingray snap kit from Revell
Parts breakdown.
I was pleasantly surprised that the 'chrome' sprue wasn't the normal model-style chrome
Went ahead and assembled the parts to the body so I could paint them as a whole.
To remove some of the toy-like feel to the kit, I primered both the inside and outside in flat black
The interior was assembled mostly stock.
To add some detail, I added a small screen print of the GPS/stereo screen. I also drybrushed the instrument cluster in silver
The body was given a base coat of gold, followed by a coat of clear gloss to aid in masking later
I masked off the lower section of the body, then gave the upper section a coat of candy red.
The grilles and intakes were given a black wash for detail
The insignia on the car were picked out with silver, using a very fine brush.
The frames on the taillights were painted in with black, while the mirror 'glass' was painted in with silver.
The frosted framing on the glass was painted in with black by hand.
Lastly, the exhaust pipes were painted in with gunmetal and the decal was placed for the license plate
Finished build pics
