1/64th Dirt Late Model (Dirt Modeler brass kit)

[ClayK]

This was a quick little fun project I wrapped up not long ago. These were super limited multi-media kits put out for a brief time. It consisted of several brass photo-etched sheets, some resin tires and wheels. I drew the decal art, and they were printed by Mark Renaldo. This particular car was raced by Kevin Gundaker out of the St. Louis area in the 90's.

To see how it how it all went together, check out the video I made on it here.

Very nice.

I watched your youtube video on this build the other day. Sure is tiny and the build looked like it took a delicate touch.  Very nicely done.

There is something about tiny builds that is appealing. I had a go at 1/72 scale Great War aeroplanes and vehicles. In my younger years I managed just fine but lately with age and the usual age related ailments like arthritis and losing some of that delicate touch and dexterity, I find that the smaller scales are no longer for me. There is a gentleman from Australia who scratchbuild Great War aeroplanes ( among other subjects ) in 1/144 scale which are real jewels. This is a link to his latest postings on making wire wheels in 1/144 scale that you might find interesting:
