Graham Rayhal 2014 Indy in 1/64

[Deleted]

Gaham may have had nothing but trouble in this year's 500, but building a model of his car was pretty easy. My only additions were the red, white and blue stripes on Calvin's rear bumpers, made from a spare set for the shark fins, and the numbers inside the rear bumpers, again made from Lettraset dry transfers applied to flat black decal paper. Upon looking at the pictures, it appears that I didn't get the left rear bumper exactly parallel to the right, so I'll have to fix that - it looked fine when I glued it on, but these larger than life pictures show every flaw. Oops, I've forgotten the decal for the rear light as well!

So true. You look a build over, and then when you post the photos, you say " oh crap, I did not notice that".

Nice work. What do you use for the rear light. I have been painting them red?

I use a square of red decal for the rear light - much easier to get straight edges than painting, and I can keep adjusting it until the placement is perfect.

Great job! One of the suckiest days of my life (was back behind the wall instead of sign board) and Graham wasn't happy with the car from Carb Day onward. The mechanical probably saved from ending up in the wall, but damn that was a short day. I was hoping I would never have to say I worked on a car that finished the big 33...I did.

That build is awesome. I was sadden also to hear Graham was out so early. He has a monkey on his back at Indy. Like Cub fans say there is always next year. Go Graham.

A really good job, I agree on pics - they show a lot more than the ol' eyes do!
