Looks great - nice job with the decals. Do you do the other Toy Story decals?

3Amigos Decals has the #44 Hot Wheels / Buzz Lightyear decals available already. I am.... entertaining the idea of wor ...

The final race of the 1999 season and Johnny Benson's final race in a Roush Racing Taurus - the NAPA 500 @ Atlanta. Benson, Petty and Elliott ran promotional tie-in paint schemes for the upcoming rele ...

The 2001 - > 2005 Ford yellow you have pictured there was alternatively know as both "Zinc" and "Egg-Yolk" Yellow. I had a 2001 Ford Focus in that color. No real fluorescence in ...

A great looking trio, but that middle car is a standout.

Yellow over an almost brown (?) metallic, really pops👍.

This set of three has been on my list for a while and I finally had the opportunity and motivation to complete them all this year.

Absolutely awesome!

Absolutely gorgeous work!

Magnificent - truly. That color looks like it was poured on. I loved the #42 when you posted that one a few months back and this is an awesome addition!

Nice! I ran auto parts out of the CarQuest there in town for a few years after college. Between like 2006 and 2008.

Very nicely done!!

Thank you! And a random question - where in the Hudson Valley are you from? While I'm down near Hagerstown in Maryland now I was born and raised in Middletown and Goshen.

What began as a pipedream in December is now reality. Using promotional/ diecast box art I recreated the Superman image on the side of this car as a full vector-based graphic for a Sim-Racing project. ...

Almost there with this one - I'm double layering most of the white decals. The stripes on the back haven't gotten their second layer yet so the cracks that are seen will be covered.

I am however, a ...

I know the guys who were in the body shop back then. They told me that paint would flip between six colors and was so expensive that the people from R-M paint flew in with the paint and left with it w ...

Taking my time with these old Slixx decals - but I have a back-up set in case! They've all been cooperating amazingly well so far.

Do you have a reference photo you can share of what you are trying to achieve?

I feel like this is one of those forgotten paint schemes. Not much photographic material exists of it from either of i ...

Very cool! I'm glad you didn't have any reactions when you put another paint on top of Tamiya. Gonna look killer with decals.
First I have heard of Green Stuff World.

Yeah, I made certain I let ...

I knew I was going to end up using Tamiya for the Fl Red - that was a given - but I really shopped around trying to find the best possible paint match for the chameleon paint on this car.

I intend to build this kit as 'mostly' box stock with only a few year/ race specific changes being made to the chassis and body.

On the inside I scuffed the rolling surface of the tires, borrowed a ...

This is my first deep dive into a modelling project after being absent from the hobby for a loooooooong while. So of course I wasn't going to go easy on myself! Laughing

Trying to think outside the box for a set of 3 model cars. My idea was to do 1 Ford, 1 Chevy and 1 Pontiac that ran at that Suzuka race in 1997 - but to avoid building the heavy hitter NASCAR regulars ...

Hey all - looking for assistance with a project I'm considering. Does anyone have an recommendations on where I might look for photo references for the cars that ran in the 1997 Suzuka Special?
