This one is under glass. See it here: http://www.modelcars...showtopic=63087 Thanks for watching the WIP!

Here are some shots with outside lighting.

I'm calling this one done, at least as far as posting goes. I need to make a few adjustments to the front suspension and want to add a few little details before it goes to another show, but this is how it went to last week's Lower Left Coast NNL. Here are the specs: 1/32 scale Revell Lola T-91 with a Chevy Indy engine Snap Kit. It is modeled after Mario Andretti's 1991 Indy ride. the kit comes with stickers for decals, so I swapped those out for Indycals 93 Newman Haas sheet, with some graphics from the Andretti scheme and some from the Mansell scheme (thanks, Michael for the help and the great products!). A few of the decals didn't fit quite right, most likely because of the dimensions of the kit, so some came from the 1/20 Tamiya Newman Hass Lola. I also made a few decals myself to account for some differences between the '91 and '93 cars, but there wasn't much. Even with that, it's not 100% accurate graphics-wise, but it's pretty close and there are very few internet references to prove it wrong! I also used Scale Motorsports 1/24 scale carbon fiber on the chassis pan, radiator shrouds, and cockpit. Indycals used for the tire decals. The steering wheel is highly modified, and the belt decals were home made. I replaced the drive shafts with aluminum tubing, painted with a mix of clear Tamiya acrylics. The radiator plumbing is solder with painted Tamiya tape hoses and aluminum tape clamps. The electronic box on the right side is scratch-built, modeled after actual components seen on John Andretti's 91 Pennzoil Lola. fuel lines are bead wire and Pro Tech with detail master and home-made fittings.

Nice job, James!

Another day, another lesson!

Nice job, Curt!

Looking good, Rom!

Cool car, Wayne!

I like 'em!

Very nice, Darryl!

Thank you, Harry! That's what is fun about this project and why it intrigued me to do it. I was curious how a very basic kit might look after applying things I've learned over the last few years. So far I'm pleased, even with the challenges (or mistakes as the case may be!). -Art

Thanks, Bryan! I appreciate the kind comments.

Yup, I'll have it down in Carlsbad!

Lovin' the show! It's always a lesson for sure. Looking great, buddy!

I love the details, Brad. Awesome work! Your diorama skills are showing through on this build! -Art

Wow, Bill. That is intense! Great work. -Art
