`81 Darrell Waltrip Mountain Dew Buick Regal

walltrip combo buick kit
wetworks decals (cartograf printed)
81 version - nicer overall slick design and less traditional model finish due to the difference to kit decals





easy decision to dechrome
some parts needed heavy care
do you see how bigger is front bumper to body



dechromed and ready for primer

LOL, exactly. Excellent start on this model. One thing that I noticed is that great blue background you are using. It makes for a great presentation of your wip.

Re: `81 Darrell Waltrip Mountain Dew Buick Regal

pics shiuld be there, it was probably photo hosting downtime (its free hosting)
blue background is choosen due to the light (white) subject. when dark subject - white background
its matt foil that doesnt leave reflections and have no structure so it appears absolutely smooth

Re: `81 Darrell Waltrip Mountain Dew Buick Regal

Nice livery you haven chosen. I like the start of this project and - of course your decal job. Do you plan a yn further detailing?

Re: `81 Darrell Waltrip Mountain Dew Buick Regal

progressing slow. added engine







and wheel discs. i got this effect. i am not sure whether such looking wheels can be on this car? they should be metallic, like metallic airbrush not colored metal. what do you think?
