Thomas, I respectfully disagree. If you are able to access this board then you should be able to access anything on the web. There are many people on this board and other boards who have huge knowledge about Nascar and can answer any question you need answered. I'm sure 90 percent of the members of Randy's don't just stay at Randy's. A new board that I was invited to , "Short Track Models" is full of very knowledgeable people about Nascar. So there's another one you should try. Don't let the name fool you, they cover more than just short track models.

Awesome replica, Steve.

Awesome job, Tom. The Hauler/ race car combo you have there looks 1:1.

I had quit going there a couple of months before it shut down. It was starting to get a real negative vibe about it. Like Dave and Jonathan said, its sad because so much really good reference material will be lost if it goes away for good.

Excellent job , Bruce. Great interior, frame and engine work. Paint and decal work is awesome as well. Overall, a wonderful build.

Simply stunning , John. That car is bad to the bone beautiful.

Awesome as always, John. Crisp , clean , beautiful builds.

Beautiful paint and I'll bet that decal work was a bear. Excellent build as always.

Another beauty , John. I don't know how you crank these out so quickly. Amazing work.

Great detail work you got going on there , Louie. Why the long departure from the build? Also those cookies looked delicious.

Thanks, John. I would have thought you would have had to do something extravagant to get those results. Again , awesome job. We dodged the bullet on this horrible weather the east coast got. Its back in the 60's here today.

Awesome job , Steve.

Excellent replica , Tom. Details, paint and decal work all top notch.

Man that thing is perfect, John. And the paint really pops. Awesome as usual.

Wow, John. That's the best I have ever seen that car done. How did you get the paint so metallic but yet still glossy. Amazing.

Another beauty, John. Paint, cleanliness of build all top notch.

Beautiful build as always. I remember Freddy Fryar and Neil Bonnet use to bring their Chevelles to Meyer Speedway in Houston to compete on Saturday nights from Alabama . The local drivers did not have a chance against those two.

Wow John. You are truly a master of the air brush. Those fades and multicolored builds are amazing as always. And Mr Pattison is also a master of the craft.

Another great build , Neil. Truly an iconic car.

Joe, another thing you might want to try is viewing some you tube videos. Some are not that great but others I have found were pretty informative. I have no links for you but just google "you tube how to air brush" and just check them out. I remember one guy used his airbrush for painting fish he was mounting and he was pretty informative.

Great build, Neil. I've got that one on my to do list.

I recently got back to using my airbrush. It sat around for years before I decided to get back to using it. I like it because I can use it with model master acryl paint and can mix any color I want. Also its a lot less toxic than lacquer or enamel. The only draw back is if you want a super smooth job you have to polish it out. It takes longer, but I figure I'm retired, so whats the rush. Just experiment with air pressure and thinning of the paint until you get just that right formula that gives you a smooth base finish without running or the dreaded orange peel. Also if you spray outside you have to wait till the temperature gets up in the sixtys at least, seventys are better. The main reason I went back to the airbrush was, my hobby shop that I got my Tamiya rattle can paint from, went out of business. Also Tamiya doesn't work well with two tone paint jobs because when you mask it, the tape will leave an imprint in it when you remove it. That doesn't happen with acryl.

Another beauty ,Wayne. Paint looks outstanding. Also very clean build.

I don't know if they ship oversees but I'm pretty sure Plastic Performance Products makes those wheels and you can get them from Mike's decals or Southern Motorsports hobbies.

Another great build, Jonathan. The whole group looks awesome.
