Short Track and NASCAR modeling

Awesome paint job, a shame the decals did like that.

Hey all. My 2006 Denny Hamlin rookie car. One of my repaints from last year. Using the JWTBM dual car sheet. Some silvering, so had to cut out those parts but as here below, impossible. Which is why no driver name decals are used.



No cowl vent as I mistakenly thought that this was the year of fuel injection. Five years too early! And no roof rails too.The light clusters are spares as only the Impala lights on this sheet. And the contingencies are likely for the Impala too



Just basic rattlecans and using a black primer, really gives depth to the colour.



Really like this car, my first of this bodyshape and good to have a post 2000 build.

Made myself a new workspace and hope to keep it less messy. Also added strip for adding the epoxy putty to the sides of the tire. the ruler was to cut the strip I had in half to make it the correct size.

I agree Sid. My workspace isn't big enough for one of those. And it would have to be a kit

whew; be happy you're not building an 18-wheeler.

Nice clean build.Great work.

The left front tire came together a lot faster than the rear tires did. All I lack is adding a strip to get the epoxy putty on the side and then do the tread. After that I've decided to drill holes in the outer surface of the tire where the tread goes to let the putty squeeze through the holes to make it stick better to the outside surface where the tread goes. I have had trouble in the past getting the putty to stick there. It wants to stick more to the plastic spoon that I'm putting it on with then the tire itself.

Here are the plans I will be using to get all the dimensions I need to build the model. It will be 1/12 scale. I began building the first front tire.

  Thanks.  I am a map guy.
