Here is my model car page:
I have only made a few model cars but i've got a few more im in the process of making. The ones I have made include:
- #3 Dale Earnhardt Monte Carlo ("The Man" I might add)
- 1969 Camaro
- 1982 Trans Am
The ones I own that I have not started yet include:
- 25th anniversary Dale Earnhardt Car (The silver and orange Winston Car)
- Olympic #3 Monte Carlo
- Shelly Andersons Top Fuel Dragster
- Randy Andersons Top Fuel Funny Car
- 1969 Camaro Convertable Pace Car
- #3 AC Delco Japan Car
- Black #3 lumina
I will include pictures of these when I get them Finished. Some of these however I prefer to leave sealed in the box.
One thing I learned the wrong way is that even if the body of the car is the
color you want the model to be, Prime and paint it!
I did not do this on the Dale Earnhardt model that is pictured above, and I have
regretted it ever since. I did paint the body of the 69 Camaro and it looks a lot better.
Somehow I got a little bit of dust in the paint of it but I just sanded it out with some fine
grit sand paper and waxed it.
When I painted the 69 Camaro, I used a Testors airbrush that I had recently purchased
but did not practice with much. That was a big mistake. If you are planning to build model
cars (or anything for that matter), an airbrush is a good investment, But practice before you
use it on something you plan to keep.
The picture above is one I put together of Dale Earnhardt's #3 hauler. The kit was made by Revell and it took about 3 hours to put it together.
