Looks great, and it's always nice to see a NASCAR on here. I just wish that new NASCAR kits were being released. Nice work, though!

Seriously the best job I have seen on a stock car in a long time. Now you need to add it to a diorama!
Can you share the techniques you used for the weathering?
Thanks Jaws,
The "sandblasted" (gray) areas up front and above the exhaust were done by lightly airbrushing some primer. I covered the areas I didn't want to get sprayed with a small sheet of paper. I then airbrushed (make it "spit" the paint out) some Testors Aircraft Interior Black to simulate little bits of rubber and debris. The tire marks were done by applying the same black paint to an old tire and swabbing it along the body. I used that same tire to put little scuffs and scrapes with various other colors to simulate body-to-body contact. There's more on the right side of course because Geoff Bodine was no pushover. :lol:

I used a Dremel motor tool with a coarse sanding disc to scuff, dent, and ding things up a little further. Finally, I brushed on some more dirt and grime with a few different mixes of artist's pastels.

Thank you for the interest,

Greg
