"Custom" TNT Nascar Ford Taurus (lot's off pics)

[dragonstyle]

This car is build on a car that doesn't excist, its a car based on a car wich race's in the escors series a sort off online leage. I build this for a friend who asked me to build this to give as a present.
A started this car as a 2003 Ford Taurus M&M kit from revell. I didn't add much to the kit because this was just a test. So it's quite box-stock
The car is not 100% finished but i already wanted to show some pics
Have fun with all the pics

Box stock engine except the wires



Fresh painted chassis and body




The first test with the decals



The first steps with the chassis







Did some effort on the wheels





Little detail on the dashboard



Final steps on the chassis





THE decals (home made )



The first decal on the car



After al lot off decal work and messing up whe got this result






I really loved doing this kit. And i know there a some great nascar builders here please give me some tips so i can learn for the next to come.
So all comments welcome

I like the originality. May I just say that the plug wires are, unfortunately, way too thick for this scale. What printer did you use for the decals?

Rhââ! I really need to find one of those kits! I'm sure specialist will say they're far from being completely accurate (as I've understood Revell always used the same chassis), but to my eyes they're one of the best base for extra detailing job! Maybe the "tubular effect"?...

You're doing a very nice job with this one. Tanks for all those pics!

... And it seems racing tires detailing has made a big step forward since JTRacing came to this forum!

Cool! I wish I could make decals like that.


BTW, how long before the unnecessary but unavoidable comment like "I don't like nascar but I love your model gna gna gna" ?

[JTRACING]

Looks Great!, it's nice to see another Nascar on here once in a while!

Very nice work, well done!

[dragonstyle]

Thx for the comment's
Here are some pics of the model 99% finished

[RallyRaider]

Great work, especially on the decals. To repeat Alex's question, what kind of printer did you use?

[labandabonnot]

99,9% done, but 100% delight!



By the way... What kind of printer did you use?

[dragonstyle]

Sorry but i didn't saw that question
I used a ordinary inktjet printer a canon S330
It's a printer from a couple years ago. Then i printed them all on white decal paper en fixated them with "microscale liquid decal film"
And then you use them like ordinary decals
btw thx for the comment
