Title: Danny Smith #4 sprint car
Post by: 18degrees on August 31, 2024, 03:53:19 AM
she's finally done, glued the wing on tonight.  paint is Tamiya pure white, Testors flat red for the cage, various metallics sprinkled throughout.  nerf bars are from SWS Chassis, hood is resin from Mike's/Big Donkey. wheels are SWS and tires are Modelhaus.  seat is from Dwight on Shapeways with some self-adhesive padding added.  shocks are from Jaye.  decals are Circle Track via Print It.  pretty nice and easy to work with.  basic Saldana Revellogram kit with some changes to the body panels, some that i made from sheet plastic.

Beautiful!  Can I ask where the rock screen in front of the driver came from?  I need a few of those!

Came from DirtModeler, who i am pretty (sadly) sure isn't in business any more. The website was dead the other day unless i navigated wrong. Which is too bad because he made some amazing stuff.

Thanks for the lead, unfortunately it does look like his site is gone.

Really nice job! Great-looking Sprinter. That build would look nice on anybody's collection shelf.
