1/16 MPC 1973 Petty Charger
Coyote_6 replied to Dan Cooper's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
All those detail pieces look amazing. I find it takes more skill to make larger scales look convincing - these are fabulous. Have you thought about printing gages on decal sheet or photo paper? I fear aviation gages will look, well, aviation. Even at 1/24, you can read the "Moroso" logo on one of my cars' tachometer. I have been printing some decals on clear and white decal paper with my inkjet with good results. But regardless of which way you go it will look amazing. Just wow. Steve -
The lights are awesome, as are the stripes. Nice work!! Steve

“BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 83 MICKEY THOMPSON’S VEGA FUNNY CAR
Coyote_6 replied to M W Elky's topic in Drag Racing
Nice build. The weathering looks very authentic on the chassis. Awesome! I am working on Mr Norm's SuperCharger right now and I am having a hard time bringing myself to dirty up the chrome for authenticity's sake. Time will tell - but your build makes a solid notch in the "realistic" column. Steve -
I had a buddy in high school with a 454 automatic Monte Carlo. I can still smell the tire smoke! Thanks for taking me back - beautiful build! Steve

1/16 MPC 1973 Petty Charger

Hey Dan. Testing is a great idea. No experience with the pinstripe tape, but anything is possible. At 1/24 "pinstripes" are generally included as decals (which you're doing anyway on a NASCAR) so that part of the "system" is generally worked out. Every part of your finish system needs to be compatible (primer, color coat, decals, trim, pinstripes, clearcoat) so my best recommendation is to test test test. Maybe get a hood of an old or cheap kit and try what you want to achieve. As an example, I want to use a silver sharpie for window trim on a 1/24 Petty Belvedere, and plan to topcoat with Future floor polish. I pick a hidden part of the chassis (the interior parts will hide my test), wrote 43 on my color coat and topcoated with the clear. When dry I looked for any interactions (particularly running of the ink) and saw none, so this combination will work for me. The challenges I see will be ensuring straight lines when desired, how well the tape "bends" for curves (hopefully stretches instead of bunching), and how it reacts to the rest of your system. A corollary would be when I mask with tamiya tape (arguably best in the industry) and inevitably I will find a spot that I didn't burnish or didn't stick/conform as well as I would have liked (leading to paint bleed). You definitely want to make sure your pinstripes conform and stick. (Maybe try striping, removing and restriping - would be sad to lay down nice paint and have it peel if you try to reposition some pinstripe!) Just some thoughts. Steve -
Whoa! That dash is awesome!! Steve

Looks like a great start on a awesome project. 1/16 scale - what an impact that's going to make! Keep us in the loop - looks great! Steve -

Coyote_6 replied to Belairconvertable's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Oh my! I love a good mock up and dig this thread. This is how I want Richard's Belvedere to sit, but the front is sittin' on the crossmember - it'll have to come up a mm or two. (Or I guess we could shave the crossmember... hmmm ?) I always do some mockups before going in on the suspension. Cool thread! Steve -
That is a sweet mashup!! NICE work. Ingenious how well they go together!

Nice bodywork! Cool car.

@MarkJ. Thank you sir. In addition to just having a great looking car, I had read that Rowdy Burns' character was based a little bit on Dale Sr. - rewatching the movie I could see a bit of The Intimidator there. That was another aspect of the Rowdy Burns character that I really liked. He represented that old school NASCAR vibe that I really enjoyed back in the day.

Modified 58 Edsel

Oh yeah! So darn cool! Beautiful build - love those chrome bumpers in the sun! Very nice. -
"Harry's got a new driver and he needs a car to turn a coupla laps... I told ya it was Harry Hogge who asked us personally as a favor..." Loved the movie, loved this Exxon Lumina sitting next to the pit wall. Fun build - turned out alright. Aftermarket decals include foil trim on the Exxon logos. A lot of work on that stance again. Really liked how she sat in the movie. Again nothing fancy here. (Hand painted gages.) Just a fun build. Tried to capture the Daytona vibe. Thanks for looking. Steve

@Bainford. Thank you! You should definitely get yours out and give it a go. It is a fun build and has such great lines. So many awesome color options that would look good on it, too!
