Hi Steve!

Wow, much imagination here, bravo! The liberal use of diamond-plate in the shoebox Ford is well in  tune with the era. And "Baron Von Lobo" made me smile!

Thanks! I was blown away after seeing the real car (Thunderbelle) and just had to create my version. This is one of my favorites too!!!!

Hi...thanks for the compliments! This was a fun one. I shot the body with three coats of Tamiya Bare Metal (TS-12), made most of the decals with my fuzzy inkjet printer, then used a small hand punch to simulate over 1,000 rivets, wiped Tamiya Black Panel Line over everything and gave it three coats of Tamiya Clear (TS-13). I am really happy how it turned out. One of my favorites too!!!

Found a few more older pics of some drag racing projects that I had been working on awhile ago,including the Diorama of a race shop.I don’t recall if i ever finished the Pacer wagon.

So the other day I was going through my phone and found even some more of my drag racing builds over the past couple of years,along with some real cars that influenced the builds.However, I must admit that the orange and tan Mustang,were not built by me,but rather they were seen and admired at a local model contest a few years ago.IMO,the orange Mustang might be one of the best drag racing models I’ve ever seen.?Hope you like the pics.

Thanks.

I've been using decals, almost exclusively for tire lettering, the last few years. AMT did some tire sets that were beautiful, but, they're pretty much gone, now, and are often quite expensive. Fireball Modelworks has some fantastic lettering decals. I would highly recommend them!

Here's my latest drag racer. I just finished it within the past week.
