really wunderbar!!! These things look so weird and so cool at the same time and (as far as I know) there is no such car class here in the EU.
Prima! - Not only cool but also an extremely accurate and extensive work and I would love to see also screenshots of the SkUp model...
(which renderer are you using)

Thank you HornOxx...

Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are the other countries where sprint car racing is popular and practiced.
I'm having a problem exporting a 2D image of the model, SU crashes each time I try. It's probably a mixture of file size, layers and scenes. Here is a shot that I grabbed with Windows Snipping Tool, (poor quality). I'll do some file clean-up and try the exporter again, it's working on other models.

I use Indigo for rendering, Gimp for most post processing and paint.NET for file size and format conversion.

I saved a copy of the model file and removed the scenes (9), section plane and a couple of large unused components. File size did not get much smaller, (189 MB to 187), but the exporter now works.

JMJ, it is not fair to post snap shots.

Again, some excellent work!

[Bryan K]

Stunning.

What render are you using?

[JMJOhio]

Whats wrong with snap shots. My brain is the camera. Have to take alot of shots to get one good image.

I use Indigo for renders.

Jmj I think you'll find Ntx was saying your images are far too good to be renders or screenshots, they must be camera snapshots of reality.

I wouldn't mind posting some of these to my Facebook page with a link back here if you don't mind,or a link to another repository of your excellent images if you have one?

EXACTLY! The renders are really great and I was trying to compliment you.

[JMJOhio]

Sorry for the misunderstanding Dave. I knew your comments were complimentary. My reply was an attempt at dry humor. My bad!
Your welcome to do the link Box, I'm flattered by your desire to do so. The posts here are the only current source for viewing.

I've posted it over here if you are interested.

A great piece of model making art, classic.

[JMJOhio]

Thank you Bryan, Dave, Box and Mike.

Another amazing model from a truly amazing master modeler!

Some day when I have a year or two to spare I'm gonna try to model something like this (I will fail miserably, of course, but hey, you gotta try, right?)

[JMJOhio]

Thanks Steve...

Are you just saying those nice things to get me to come mow tour grass?

[Gus R]

[JMJOhio]

Thank you Gus...
