1998 Corvette Convert.

[robert1]

Convert.s aren't my favorites, but I seem to be doing a lot of them this year. This is the Revellogram 1998 Corvette Roadster. I have built a stock one in red, so I wanted this one to be a little different.

As I was looking at this kit, I realized it had a trunk. HMMMMM The original 1953 Corvette was a conv. with a trunk. An Idea forms. How about a "Heritage Edition Corvette?"

I'll paint it white, with a red interior, black top and add chrome like an older Corvette.


So I ended up with my version. The interior is a semi-flat with some black wash to give it a leather finish.

Yes, the engine is blue, as you may recall the 1953 Corvette had a Blue flame 6. Just another tribute to the original.

The car is finished, except for a final coat of wax. I think my photos come out a little better without the shine from the wax. I hope you like it.

PS I am switching to a new camera with a good flash and a super macro setting. Sooo.....hopefully my next posts will show much better detail.

Looks good!

Don't worry about the flash on the new camera, better off to just use more light over the subject.

I have built this kit. I thought it was a good kit. I like the white and red combo, looks sharp.

Nice job on the Vette. I agree about the flash you are better off without one.

y'all comvinced me...I am not going to use a flash for my next pics. We have a skylight in our stairwell. It gives a nice sunlight spot on the stairs. It aint outside sunlight, but maybe with some natural light and a a good soft lamp I can get some better pics.
