Abandoned Racer

MISFIRE!

As I was saying, Lots of free time these past months have allowed me to finish up several long over due projects.

This one is a DTR Short Tracker with some resin pieces, weathering, rust and imagination...

Lets try this again...

Perfect weathering and distress. Just looks so real, needs its own diorama setting. Sad to think how many wound up looking just like this when their track days were over.

Very cool James...!     Excellent weathering , rust and imagination...!!!

The only thing missing is the empty beverage container on the roof. I like it as is though. 

 

[bbowser]

Wow!  Outstanding model.

[vintagercr]

Awesome!

[slusher]

Very realistic build James.

[Roger U]

Really nice weathering. Very realistic.

Nice James, now ya need a diorama to go with it.......

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

[James2]

Well thanks all. 

Part of my reasoning for this was to show a story without a diorama. And to be able to enter it in  open wheel compilation classes.

Very cool, James! 

[DumpyDan]

[Intmd8r]

Very cool James....looks like a 1 to 1 barn find.  

[Dragline]

In a setting that would pass for the real deal. Nice weathering.

[bobthehobbyguy]

Very cool. Its not often we see racers built in this manner. Weathering is superb.

Great job on the weathering/deterioration! If you could get the tires to be flat, it would be perfect.
