Bob,

Do the Crager wheels come with the Baldwin Motion Camaro? What motor comes in that kit, I'm not too familiar with the Baldwin Motion '70 1/2 Camaro?

What are the main differences between the Baldwin Motion and the regular '70 1/2 Camaro kits?

Slammer built with a Reliable Resin MPC 1970 Camaro annual repop.

Here's my box stocker '70 1/2

Wow! Great build and great backdrop. How and with what did you make that pavement / backdrop scenery? Awesome paint job. One of my favorite subjects . . . I had a buddy that had a 70 1/2 Baldwin Motion. My goodness that thing was strong!!!

I have a couple to share. :) Both builds are from several years ago, both use the Amt 70 Motion Camaro as their base.

The first one was kind of a replica of a car which used to cruise regularly, just up the coast from me. Sadly, he went and re-modded it soon after, and made it look terrible...:D

But this is how I remember the beast......

The second build is one I'm most proud and fond of. I'm a bit of a Baldwin Motion freak.....absolutely LOVE these cars. Sadly, and I guess "licensing" played a part, but Amt did not provide the famous stripes in their kits. :D

Masking them up was tedious, but overall, the right look was achieved I think. Opened the trunk, added aluminium tube for the side-pipes and a MCG detail set.

Hope these help with the cause too. :)

Thanx Phil, that's a piece of underlayment with gray primer,dirt,flat black and yellow paint. The backdrop is natural. If you look closely in one photo,you can see the wires to my satellite dish. :D I need to make a bigger one because it's hard to crop the photos and not show the ends of the "pavement". Here's a couple more photos of it:

Here's my AMT 1970 Annual that I got several years ago in a package deal from a guy who was leaving the hobby. The model had been started - badly! It had been painted orange with a brush and had a red interior and vinyl top... I stripped the paint, cleaned up some stray glue blobs and started over. I can't afford to buy rare old models in mint condition, so I've really gotten into "Glue Bomb" restorations.

I need to replace the rear view mirror. It fell off somewhere. I also need to repaint the front air dam. The paint on it wasn't good and I had to strip it. The whole thing needs a good cleaning now.

I like the two that Marc did. Very nice.

Later-

I have a pair of 70.5's that need something done with them. I'll eventually get to them, but for now I do have one killer '79 Camaro Z/28 G-Machine runnin' a 455cid engine.

here's my Baldwin Motion build from awhile back. i adjusted the front stance a bit and tweaked the sidepipes until they fit well. very cool kit of a very cool 1:1 car i think. this one just has an attitude that the Revell '69 never did.

Doing research for my build

I have to give credit ,,the only 70 I've seen so far on here, where the engine bay/body color/cowl is painted correctly..

good job DD

The B/M had the tall spoiler, front valance, sidepipes, Cragars, and a big block, either a 427 or a 454, not sure on that, as well as the stripe package. The Z-28, and most other 70 Camaros had small blocks. Here is my 70 B?M Camaro.
