Here's some of the cars I'm thinking of doing from this years 500 (besides the winner and the Graham Rahal sheet I debuted at the show, which needs mods):
Ed Carpenter Fuzzy's Vodka
Marco Andretti, Venom Energy Drink
Ryan Hunter-Reay, Izod
Mike Conway, Dad's Root Beer
Justin Wilson, Z-Line
Takuma Sato, Lotus
Alex Tagliani, BW
Bruno Junqiera, BW
Dan Wheldon, National Guard, half camo
John Andretti, Window World
Which of these would you most like to see (If it's not on this list, it's not up for consideration). Also note, just because it's on the list, doesn't mean I can pull it off to my satisfaction (Marco, Ryan, Wheldon each have difficulties that need to be worked out)

Love the Fuzzy car and the Tags B&W but really really think that Marco's car was the coolest. I wanted the Window World before but have changed my mind on that one.
I would buy them all but if I had to choose my top four it would be in this order.
Marco - Venom
Sato - Lotus - Sooo very cool...
Carpenter - Fuzzy
Tags - B&W
Honorable mention goes to Hunter-Reay because I would buy two of those. One Indy and I could also do the Long Beach winner.
What the heck Michael - Do them all and I will buy them all.

Mike, I see Bill's already selling Dallara kits on eBay saying that 2010 Dario decals are available from you....
Any ETA on those? I wouldn't have dared asked this soon if it hadn't already been mentioned elsewhere.
Best of luck with these 2010 projects ;D

Best of luck with these 2010 projects ;D Jordan Not only are they not done, they have not been started, nor have I told anyone they are available. No ETA on any decals. Right now my number 1 priority is Lotus 79 decals for the new Hasegawa and Tamiya kits. |

How ironic Bill would offer something you don't have, when getting something from him that he does have takes so long.

Michael, I have collected ~3.5 gigs of pictures from the month, sorted by day taken. If you're interested I can mail these to you on a DVD disk.

If I had this model in 1/25......... I would do Dan Wheldon's car just becuase Of the major challenge it would bring.

If I built IRL era cars, these would get my vote:
Mike Conway, Dad's Root Beer (love the color)
Takuma Sato, Lotus (would look great next to my "real" Lotus cars)
Bruno Junqiera, BW (more color!)
Dan Wheldon, National Guard, half camo (just plain cool)

HI Michael,
Personally, John Andretti/Richard Petty's Window World.
I will send Pay Pal right now for those, and I have no means of getting a model to build it! LOL!!

I'm almost certainly going to do the Conway car - simple, and the yellow on the car perfectly matches the yellow that I print.
Ed Carpenter's car is highly likely, plus one of our members here was on the team.
I really want to do the Lotus, but here's my conundrum. I will NOT print the yellow stripe because it will be impossible to match the airbox which must be painted - thus the only proper way to do this car is to paint the yellow stripe. But the stripe is outlined in black. I can print the black outline, but that makes painting the stripe more difficult, particularly with the the green pinstripe going down the center. For what should be such a simple design it's actually quite a pain in the (expletive deleted).
I really want to do Marco's car too - another big challenge, but one I think I can pull off.

Marco's for sure, but since Fuzzy Zoeller is one of my favorite golfers, I'd like to see that one too.

For what should be such a simple design it's actually quite a pain in the (expletive deleted). As you and I have talked a little before about the Team Lotus painting challenges, your thoughts about doing the black stripe makes it much easier! If you do the black stripe for each of the parallel nose stripes, I would use them as my template for painting. I would make a photocopy of your stripe and transfer that shape to Tamiya masking tape. I plan to shoot the entire car yellow (Testor’s No. 28104Chrysler Yellow from their Custom Lacquer System rattle cans. I’ve tested it and it looks great.) Then I would mask off the yellow using your black stripes as a guide with the aforementioned templated Tamiya masking tape. Then shoot the metallic green. I’m looking at using the same Testors Custom lacquer System paint. In this case probably No.28229 Emerald Green Metallic. In good natural light, it looks terrific. I think that the Chrysler Yellow is a pretty good match for the yellow you print. I will check my Lotus decals that I have of yours and get back to you on that. Please go ahead with this one Michael.
