One car i have always liked and also a Big Mark Martin fan i decided to get into this one. So just the early steps of cleaning up the body and filling the sink marks and gaps.

I look forward to this - while my interest in NASCAR has waned to the point that it's almost at zero, I do have an appreciation for Mark Martin. I unexpectedly ran into him a couple years ago at the Indy 500 - I was pretty thrilled to meet him. I'm sure this build will be amazing.

Taking advantage of the improving weather, I see - will be following with interest

Good start. What are you doing for decals? I have an AMT Kodak Olds I want to build, but after the issues with my Champcar I'm concerned the decals will be useless.

This was the pinnacle of NASCAR as far as I am concerned. They pretty much had it right from the 80 to about 2000 as far as I am concerned then NASCAR kept trying to make it better. It is so good now, I don't even watch.

Paint is done...This is Tamiya TS15 straight from the can, warm weather in Melbourne is making life much easier now. Inside the body was done with AS20. This can now sit for a few days and then i shall look at the decals...

Decals are done, this is my second time using Race Scale and the first one silvered on the BUD Truck so i was concerned, but these went on well, I am actually not going to clear this one and will just polish it up..
I am also happy with how the front and rear clips blended in with the body.
