Featured Diecast Replicas of our Corvette C7s

[Baby Ray]

Nice Graham ... real Nice! ... I was hoping to be able see some more diecasts of this idea from others ...
it sure makes time enjoyable (well for me) for this and for future revisits during the winter months ...

I also like seeing how people resolve some of the "specialized" treatments too ...

Not to take away the awesome work by Dennis ... I asked he not worry about emblems and
followed later by calling upon the genius of my Wife (and by raiding her scrapbooking "tools and supplies" ... shhh)
as well as my teen Daughter (just because kids seem to be preprogrammed with anything "computer" )
and then self-teach new aspects of Photoshop & Photoshop Elements to create prototypes
of new 1:18 scaled emblems and license plates (yup our vanity plates).
Discovered in the process, that dark paint tone & light paint tone emblem options had to be resolved
and I'm still working on prototypes for that rascally back "corvette" scripted emblem

Hey Spence, we need to talk about this PLEASE!

 

[Baby Ray]

@Baby Ray - I'm sure you could add to this thread too
@rockitman - maybe add some more to this too ... it is all awesome

I can too say I am very thankful that Dennis had did a die cast for BabyRay as well. He has great skills. But most important he’s a great friend too. Here is a few before and after pictures of his incredible work.
Thanks again Dennis / @rockitman.

OK let me be the first to say

where do I sign up to get one done, there it is out in the open

I am somewhat convinced those couple of guys who do this may not want to get a list going,
they might be (they will be and should be) busy for years, and may not want the work,

so not trying to upset the artists just making sure if ever their is a list I am not on the bottom, as per usual

Jeffy who has EMT ready (ha-ha)

Thread approved... Impressive. Carry on.

Very nice work!

I'd like to know more about the trick setup you have for a paint booth! I struggle with dust particles on models and it drives me crazy.

@rockitman ... let me know if you need the “base bright red model” that I have. We can sort out you already know the diecast depot cost in that ... my friend decided not to take it ... either way you decide Ok with me

 

[Jeremiad]

I have a few C7s in different colors. The one is pretty close to LBR isn't it?

I use a large cardboard box, furnace filter and a shop vac with a filter, then exhaust it outside.

Very good chance its a Crystal Red Metallic as no one makes a LBRM.
Still a nice color.

Thanks for the great offer. I'll keep that in mind, as they are hard to find in the Z51 1:1/18 scale.

This site might be worth a look. The Italian company BBR makes some really good quality models, expensive but you might find something you are looking for here.

Did you know BBR is the only company that’s authorized to use real Ferrari paint ? I found that out from the owner of Toronto motorsports way back. They make the best quality die casts bar none. I had a couple of the 1:43 Michael Schumacher Formula 1 cars and the quality was incredible.

Yes. I looked up the site. You could buy one or gas for a year. $350 British pounds!!!!!

Was at Costco today Sept 19 ‘18 ..... in stock 1:18 scale for all the Z51 blue and white coupe ray owners ...
Oh yummy there's Toblerones in the other isle too

 

[Black 03 Z06]

I was in Costco in Orillia, Ontario today. They had quite a few C7's on the shelf, I did not see a blue one. White and red but I did not go digging through the display.
