IJ001 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hello from Middle Earth Current NASCAR project, a slab-side M/C driven by one of the 'unsung heroes', Mr. Ken Schraeder: Not too difficult to tell which one from the last couple of pics, and I'm sure somebody will guess it pretty quickly. As it sits just now, it's got the best ride-height I've ever achieved and the plastic is glass smooth. Even after the Plastikote dark grey primer the finish is still like the surface of the mirror on the Hubble Telescope !! Stay tuned, more soon. Ian.

IJ001 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 After I posted the photos yesterday, I went back in to the 'cave' in the evening and shot a couple of quick coats of Tamiya glossy black on the lower sides of the body. This morning I brushed on two coats of Klear/Future to seal it and about two hours later masked it all off using photos of all the 1999 #33's as reference. Then took a deep breath and fired a couple of light(ish) coats of Tamiya TS-21 'Gold'. Personally I'm overjoyed with the result but would appreciate your input, guys. Ian.

PatW Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Super job on this one Ian. The chassis is identical to my Lumina build with the Dave Marcis #41 I'm just about to finish. (Kellogs Corn Flakes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IJ001 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Didn't realise I'd not posted completed pics... so here they are ! Great Powerslide decals really made all the difference on this one, absolutely superb to work with. Easily my best NASCAR build to date. Thanks for all the encouragement along the way, folks. Lookout for a 'Beer Car' posting in just a few minutes. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseeJerry55 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 That's really sweet. Agreed on the unsung heroes aspect. I think Kenny was a really good driver, who tried his hardest to be the best he could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
