1:64 Dirt Late Model Builds

[DirtModeler]

I'll just throw all of the images into one thread. The first build-ups of the new kits are underway.. I'm working on them two at a time.

Lots of fun so far!

That's cool looking.

Thanks! they are a lot of fun.

here's one a little farther along, just a few more things to do and it will be all done.

Hi Michael, this is looking interesting.

By the way, I received the parts that I ordered. The parts are fantastic! Many thanks. 4 link and ladder bar braces, tabs and a few other things. I'll be back!

Very nice and cool...

Neat models! I don't know how anyone can work on something so small, 1/25 is my limit. Nice work.

I sure appreciate it! but actually, the size being difficult is really just a problem with perspective. It honestly doesn't mean i'm a super modeler because i can work at that scale!

i'll bet most people have smaller details and parts just in the engine of their 1:24th build then there are in this 1:64 car.. actually there are builds in 1:16th scale with smaller parts then this 1:64 car!

The only difference is.. perspective. Take a distributor, the size of a distributor in 1:24 is about the same size as a wheel in 1:64. Now some people.. actually.. lots of people.. hand drill 8 holes in that little distributor and run plug wires through it.. an MSD decal on the side of that 1:24 distributor would be about the same size as a 'Hoosier' decal on that 1:64 tire.. The tiny photo-etched beadlock that goes onto that 1:64 wheel, is actually a lot larger then the 1:24th photo-etched Ford emblem that a lot of modelers put on their cars without any problem.

It's all just a matter of perspective.. the parts themselves actually aren't any smaller, there are just fewer of them.

i'm sure glad you liked them.. making parts is kind of an odd thing because i honestly never know exactly how people will like and use them... it's always a sigh of relief when people enjoy the fiddly-bits that i put out and can put them to good use.

A little later in Dirt Late Model history, we come to 1987, where the Wedge Cars were mostly banned. These smaller bodied dirt late models ruled the tracks. This is the first decal build of the 1987 Barren County Kit.

and one comparison shot of these cars, and a normal Hot Wheel for scale.

Michael.... Those are totally cool kits. Great looking builds. Awesome work.

I think they will be a fun build.
