SGA Shepard's Camaro

Stargate Atlantis is a sci-fi action series spinoff from Stargate SG1. Normally they are based in a galaxy far, far away, but the final season saw an episode on Earth with Shepard driving around in this Camaro. it's a good excuse to build the camaro i had in my stash.it's basically box stock, and the hood won't sit closed properly. I spray painted it dark red and then a coat of dullcote. The interior was painted in two-tone light brown with pins added to replicate the door locks. the engine was painted orange, but i did the inlet manifold in blue to replicate the 'bitza' look of the original. I swapped out the rims from the spares that were closer to those used.






chassis, interior, engine shots.

Nailed that one nicely!! Looks neat as.

Shame about the bonnet. What's stopping it? Air filter?

cool camaro

@zenrat, not the filter. it could be paint in the jamb or the radiator support. i didn't want to mess with it until i'd photographed it as i didn't want to mess things up (more).

some details, it's the revell 79 kit. i added the fuel line to the chassis and separated the exhaust from the axle. I added pins to replicate the inner door locks. The kit has a built in front spoiler which has the front guards flared out. rather than cutting them off, i heated them and bent them back straight. I lost one of the front parker lights to the carpet monster. Last things was painting the rims black and adding nevada license plates.

i pulled the chassis and found the hood was being held up by the firewall and radiator (arrows). i grind both them down and painted over them flat black. That helped to correct some of the problem with the alignment.

nice wook, That last pic would make a cool dio
