Jay Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I built this to represent Earnhardt's Daytona upset car... blown tire on the last lap. I made a lot of body mods and such to get this to look like a speedway car. Paint is is Tamiya black polished out with no clear and the decals are from Powerslide. I also made the blown tire!

I used a Motorworks pit tool set for the tire... basically, I cut it up with sprue cutters and an X-Acto blade and then glued black thread around it to make it look like the cords.

THORDOOR220 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 That's awesome. I might have to try to build one, see if I can come close to yours. Probably won't quite get there, that's pretty good, but worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
