James2 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just finished this up last night, painted the base this morning. I'm calling it "Up on the Wheel", kinda like a last lap turn four theme. This started with a Baldwin Motion body and front clip, some resin parts and some parts from the stash. Plenty of body mods and scratch building with a light touch of weathering. Tamiya paint, swap meet ddecals and some water colors. The base is painted grey as to not detract from the car and I was trying to stay away from the diorama class. Hope you like it. Here is a link the build, http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w184/fredjames_2007/Dirt%20Late%20Model/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 That is spectacular James. I really like the look, stance and weathering of this and I also like your concept of not adding too much detail to the base. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Very cool build! Great looking dirt racer, but wouldn't there be a bunch of mud splatter behind those tires on the quarter panels and front fenders? Looks like the tires extend beyond the sheet metal. Still a great looking build, just needs some splatter to look even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thank you guys for the kind words and comments. I had thought of the splatter, but did not want to over do it. This represents a dry track newly raced car. But I have dirtied them up before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Okay. I didn't know there was such a thing as a dry track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
