I finished this one about 6 months ago, but had a sunny day (???) and decided to clean it up, shoot it and post it. It's the Revell 1:25th California wheels kit. I built it to depict a hard ride home to Canada from speed week in Daytona. First attempt at weathering the chassis; Duplicolor grey primer, washed with Tamiya hull red XF-9, washed with Tamiya flat black XF-1, drybrushed with Tamiya gun metal X-10 and finally drybrushed with Tamiya buff XF-57. Reasonably grimey I think. Enjoy Criticisms + Comments welcomed. Happy modelling

Love that car Very nicely built!!

Future,.... again I really must get some and start experimenting. Thnx Looking great!

Very nicely done Sir!! Love the 'DADS' bottle cap as sign And where on earth did you find those tiny model cars on the top shelf?? Detailing makes it look like a cozy place to work

Looking beautiful Harry! Very nice detailing...do you use Tamiya 'smoke' for washes? I think the round wind 'blocker' would look great. Don't see them often on the car. I find it amazing that you've come this far in one month!!! Keep the updates coming they are very inspirational.

Well done Nicely built

Actually now that you mention it,.... slid to the side of the road just past an underpass,...... Stay tuned for a work in progress!! New tire stickers just to make it more heartbreaking LOL

this is my first solo wip.A 71 Daytona spyder ,dupli color chrome yellow,did not come with a ferrari engine, Belugawrx is trying to talk me into a hemi hmmmm? Feel the paint job is going nicely so far, Have add swarovski crystals to knock off hub centres Am now working on the under body engine to be decided? Am thinking customizing the seats in hand painted cheetah comments welcome , thanks for looking ! Have fun modeling dbbycreations posting under Belugawrx

Thnx Jim and Dave Whew.... just one of those builds It'll never go in a box tho It now resides in the case as a reminder

Laff

nope

I always want to say "Nice work", but it can't be work if it's that much fun! So,.... Nice build just sounds better "Nice built"?? I dunno

Very nice build Is that dullcote on the wheels? I like

Need to update this one to put an end to this challenge.... I'm sure we have all had builds like this. Where nothing seems to come together as planned, paint foul ups, final assembly woes, lost or broken parts, etc., but we persevere and,.... Finally we have it under glass and into the display case it goes. BIG TIP- make sure there are low voltage lights in your display case above your newest completion! A sense of humor is always needed Happy Modelling

Man that is gorgeous!! Beautiful paint and polish!! Beauty job on the wheels and tires Is it a curb side? OOps that answers that question....lol Awesome build brother

Chopped, with flares and some LO-profiles?

Super job on that!! Love the added details COORS RULES ( we are getting it back in Canada soon!.... hope it's the same as I remember) I recognize the Tamiya "College friends" guy.. where did you find more scale figures??
