Never sell your self short David you did a great job! and you pushed through right till the end I'd be proud of your build and would put in a nice case and admire it!

[@davidchin350]

I appreciate that John, I'm wrapping them in plastic and putting them in boxes. Ran out of AMT display cases ☹️

[@pasmodelworkbench4981]

Great job on the Lumina David. The paint job with the fade looks just right to me. The stance looks good too. You have a nice collection of NASCAR builds there and I like that they all have driver figures, it adds to the realism.

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Mike glad you like my NASCAR collection 👍I wish every model kit, especially cars, came with at least one figure. I have one more build to fit into this GB.

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

Well done David looks great thanks for joining in and the support

[@davidchin350]

Thank you for hosting this GB Jeff, is your build in Primer yet??

[@markfrommontana]

I can identify with your comments about finishing a kit and feeling exhausted. And I think you might agree that we are usually our own severest critics. Because we see the minor spots we wish we could have done better even though most folks would never pick up. It’s a stunning car and the livery really is bold and beautiful. Thanks for sharing David! 👍👍👍

[@davidchin350]

Thanks Mark, I see all the spots I could have done better since I built it ☹️

[@MODELMIND72]

Great build!! I always loved that movie!! A few mistakes big deal car still looks great!! I used to have the tape problem 2 till I switched to Tamyia tape. I know it's a little pricey but worth it. I use testors window cement it's tacky unlike mod podge and still drys clear. Great job buddy!!

[@user-pg8ty2xz8h]

How did you do the tires? Are they painted or did you use decals? Looks awesome!

[@davidchin350]

Used a Jelly Roll pen 😊

[@livefootagetube]

How do you blend the yellow and the green together at the seam like that I'm kind of playing around and testing it out and I just have a tape line I wish I could send you a picture but it's just one color divided by another but you kind of blend it in your colors how do you do that

[@davidchin350]

I sprayed the yellow first. I then lightly sprayed the green in a light mist diagonally. Then spray the green horizontally with the border you just established. Set the airbrush very light on the color since you don't want it to over accumulate and drip. I freehanded it without tape. If you feel like you need masking tape, lift the edge of the tape on the side of the color change. You ultimately want to blend or fade the color. If you leave the tape down, your going to get a sharp line border. Good luck.

[@CalebSmith7799]

where do you get the figures

[@davidchin350]

Some Monogram NASCAR Lumina kits come with the figures. That donor kit and a particular release of the Dale Earnhardt Lumina includes them as well. It will say on the box top that figure and tool accessories are included.
