Randy Ayers Nascar Modeling Forums

I would guess something Hendrick related. Can’t think of any other drivers/teams that ran Luminas that Salvinos has contracts with.

Just checked the Salvinos site. They have 2 more HMS cars and 2 Petty GMS cars. Does anyone who's plugged in with them know if these will be part of the kit of the month? I got my Napa and Hendrick Ca ...

This turned out so freaking cool. That was a really good idea to paint everything that wasn't chassis or body colored. You crushed it with the body cleanup. Your wheel detail is incredible. Well done.

Would be cool to see Ty Dillon's Gain ride from Bristol. I like very loud colored schemes.

WOW. I built that exact car a few years ago and yours blows mine away!! Awesome job.

Thanks. Thats why I asked.

AMT/Round2 has the 69 Torino Fastback kit out now and I'm wondering how difficult it would be to convert one of these to a 68 Mercury? To my novice eye, it looks like the primary difference is the 'W' ...

I've had that problem too. The body itself stretches pretty good and goes over the bars but that back valance pops loose on one of the sides. I've resigned myself to gluing it in last. Because of the ...

Beauty. The Quaker State Buicks are some of my favorite schemes ever. Green is my favorite color.

Wow. Absolutely flawless!!

Nice build. Thinking about building these to pair with the Days of Thunder cars.

MarkJ - That would be great. I'm just tring to get the basics of the engine compartment and undercarriage. I'm not doing anything with the trunk area.

Jumping in on this to ask another Rex White question from that era. I’m starting his 61 Impala. I’m having trouble finding reference pics the show the underside of the car or the engine compartmen ...

That's an amazing build. Can't wait to see it paired with the truck.

I appreciate you posting the pic. It's an excellent reference shot. Great fabrication on the seat again.

The white looks so crisp. The underlays definitely worked.

That seat is excellent but if you're looking for an accurate Earnhardt car I'd be careful and do some research before you install it. Dale was notorious for using a very primitive drivers seat, right ...

The expensive Tamiya stuff. It doesn't leave residue but as it sits on the paint it leaves an indentation on the paint. I'm probably going to suck it up and order some enamels. I just like how easy it ...

kurth: I use rattle can primers. No specific reason, just what I've always done because it's cheap and easy to find at stores close by. Just got started airbrushing last fall.

I'm using Tamiya acry ...

lefty1820 What are you using for primer?

Now that you mention it I have recently switched to a different primer. I think its Rustoleum. It's thicker than I typically use. Could that be it? Does it ...

I'm using Mr Hobby for thinner.

Just to elaborate a little. My biggest problem is wherever the tape touches the paint it leaves indentations and marks on the paint. It’s like the paint is still soft a week later. I’ve had this p ...

Does anyone have any positive experience taping with Tamiya Acrylics? I’ve switched to the expensive Tamiya tape and I’ve left paint jobs to dry for over a week and I still end up with the paint r ...

Thats the cool thing about this forum that makes it the best place to come for NASCAR modeling. I've seen it done multiple times on here. Someone posts a pic of an obscure car asking a question and wi ...

PPP has a great Wood Brothers 67-70 sheet with all the various engine displacements, drivers, and sponsors that appeared on the 21 for that period. It doesn't come with numbers but it's got seemingly ...

MarkJ - beautiful build. Your interior looks amazing

I recently built that car and I had the same trouble. Based on the few pics I was able to find I painted the whole interior black. The 2 close up shots I found on Google looked like everything on the ...

That's a cool scheme with a great story. I'd buy a sheet.

You nailed it. Looks so good.

I really dig the damage. Looks like a typical stock car after a race.

Where can I find the details on it? Thinking of making the drive from Fayetteville.

Thanks MarkJ. I appreciate it. Gonna give it a try.

MarkJ: What product do you use? Is it a Tamiya?

MarkJ: Sometimes you have to push hard to get the tire in the wheel and can damage the decal, so I build first and then do the painting and decaling and dullcoat the tire with a brush, so I don't need ...

I use the dime. I sand my tires down and paint and clear the wheels. I then mount the wheels on the tires, do all the detail work (Center hubs, lugs, red/yellow/etc rings) then any decals on the wheel ...

Ace decals has one listed on his site. It's a SMH resin.

Awesome build. I enjoy obscure builds. Don't think I've ever seen this car before. Great work.

When will that be available????

Any day now. Salvino's has them posted on their website. I believe the goal was to get them to market by the Daytona 500.

Does anyone have any experience using water based paints for airbrushing? I'm having trouble finding the color I need in alcohol based acrylics and I noticed a large variety of color options at my LHS ...

As someone who builds from all the different NASCAR eras I wouldn't mind if these slipped into the builders club rotation. Classic car one month, modern car the next.

How does this work with the builders club? Are the Hendrick kits going to be part of that or is this a separate line of kits that won't be included in builders club?

Wet sand it. Let the paint dry out for a couple of days then wet sand with 2000 or 2500 grit. It'll look fine after you clear it. Worst case you'll have to tape the are off and touch up the paint a li ...

I've had good luck and never have had to coat any decal sheets but I recently had a sheet that shattered when they hit the water. I'm looking for tips on coating my sheets to prevent this. Should I us ...

If its an option that gets younger people interested in building then I say its a good thing. They'll likely never come up with a product that's better than paint and waterslide decals from an aesthet ...

mikesdecals.com is his site. He carries other brands as well but Powerslide is his brand and all his stuff is listed there. I can't recommend him enough. Check his site out. I can spend hours going th ...

Anything from Powerslide is great. They're the top of the line decals. Extremely accurate in terms of looks/what was actually on the car and very easy to work with. Can't go wrong with them.

Wow. This thing came out immaculate.
