SawgrassRaven Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 The paint is flawless; what you see is dust. I swear this car draws dust the minute it leaves the case. Shown next to its Ruger stablemate (posted earlier).
Snake45 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I hear you on the dust. It shows up in most of my pics too. For some reason the camera pics up stuff that doesn't show up in real life, just as it makes metallic and metalflake paints look "sparkly-er" than they do in 3D. Cool build, by the way. Now you need to do a Porsche (1)911.

Now you need to do a Porsche (1)911. Tamiya has released Sebastian Vettel’s 2017 Australian Grand Prix debut Ferrari SF70H Formula One car in 1/20 scale. Vettel won the race, with his teammate Kimi Raikkonen finishing fourth in his. That's my next one. Edited July 19, 2018 by SawgrassRaven
mmdm4 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Very nice, now a Colt one would be nice! Who did your decals?

I was thinking of a light blue Smith & Wesson #29 car with dark blue decals. Even the roof and door numbers would the old timey font of their logo. Josh Muma at Bedlam Creations makes my decals. The guy is a genius.
Jantrix Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I like this. I'll eventually do a fictional sponsor stock car. But it will be something weird to make people go .
Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Very sharp! Very nice builds. I like the Fantasy NASCAR builds. I have a ton of ideas if I ever start doing Stock Car kits again. I had a bunch of 1/24 scale diecasts and decals to make about 10-15 years ago, but never did and ended up selling them all off. Hindsight is really 20/20 .

jchrisf Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 They both look great Sawgrass. Why do you call them fantasy builds? I saw the Remington car on eBay for cheap yesterday.. almost got it myself.
