I along with everyone else will be looking forward to seeing your unbelievable builds. Wips would definitely be welcome, to see how you do what you do. Thanks again for the comment on my build.

Just simply beautiful.

Your models are so clean its ridiculous. Awesome paint and decals. A true joy to view them.

The best I've seen that one done. Your mastery of enamels is legendary.

Another beautiful build, John.

Awesome as always. Never seen that one before.

Excellent as always, John.

Thanks, David. If you want to see the entire wip, go to scale auto forum, Racecars/Sportscars..

here's a small update on what I have so far.

Mr. Kemp, I am deeply honored that you took the time to comment on one of my models. I have long admired and respected your work. You are the best there is in model car building and held in such high esteem for your expertise. Thank you so much the kind words.

Thanks, Brian. I really appreciate it.

Hakan, you can get a resin Camaro body that will fit your chevy kit.

Awesome as usual, Jonathan. You got these things down pat on how to do them. Excellent build.

Sorry, but I think you did..................... Excellent build , John. I think your Bobby Allison buick is the best modified stocker I have ever seen.

The kit. Doing some changes to the chevy to try to make it look like a 2018 Arca Toyota, which does not look like the nascar version. Buying the resin Toyota that Is now available would not work for this build.

Thanks, guys for all the kind words about the build. I've always wanted to do this subject and when I saw the beginnings of someone else's build, it gave me the inspiration to go ahead and do it. I wanted to do this version of the car, because the car that actually won two 400 mile races toward the end of the season looked more like this one.

Excellent build as usual, Bruce. Perfect paint, decal work , and stance.

Looking good. Its so nice that they finally have a kit that is correct compared to the snap kits with their exhausts coming out both sides and other issues those kits had.

Finally finished this one after 3 months. It actually took 263.5 hours to complete. I believe that is the longest I've ever taken to complete a model. 31.5 of those hours were for the decal sheets. I used Tamiya paint, P.P. P. tires and wheels, and the decal sheets are testors clear sheet because this is a white car. I also used evergreen styrene sheets, tubes, strips and rods for the scratchbuilt items.

You would think they would want to create good will with people in this country who would like to build a Toyota nascar model. That person might actually buy a real Toyota in the future.

Maybe if some of us build some resin Toyotas, it will spur some interest in the Japanese companies, to offer a plastic kit. I thought the camry was built in the u. s. I guess that has no bearing on corporate Toyota and their decisions on granting permission.

Nobody has done one of Rex White's chevy's but I was glad to see the 13 team do smokey's chevelle a couple of years ago. Brad did a Miller Lite theme once that had never been on any kind of race car. I think the throwback should revolve around the paint scheme not the sponsor and should only be nascar, not indy, or any other form of racing. jmho.

If it is, that's kinda out of the parameters of the rules for being a nascar throwback. I was hoping Harvick's Chevy a couple of years ago could have been a throwback to one of Rex White's Chevies that he drove in the sixty's, but some one told me it could only be back in the eightys that year so he wasn't allowed to.
