Players Reynard

[Deleted]

Hi all,

Well, I finally have something to post. Greg Moore's Players Reynard using the Revell kit and Speedline decals (kit tire decals).
I was fortunate enough to see Greg on track the Friday before his final race at California Speedway.
A big thank you to Jordan for the reference help.
Paint is Tamiya Gloss White and the blue is Testors Grabber Blue with a hint of white mixed in. It looks spot on in person but the photos didn't come out as well as I would have liked. I flocked the seat and modified the fuel filler to give it a little more depth.
I really wanted this build to be as close to perfect as possible but it just wasn't meant to be. I encountered some paint and decal issues I hadn't anticipated. That's kind of how things in general have been going as of late.

Thank you for looking,

G

Looks great to me. If you had trouble with this, I can't see it. And you did a nice job of matching the paint.

By the way, I always like your pictures. What do you use as a backdrop?

Thank you. I worked long and hard to try to acheive a decent photo setup. I use a piece of gray cotton fabric as my backdrop. The setup looks something like this:

Again G - awesome build and a great tribute to a driver I miss dearly!

At the request of the new bossman, some updated (better) photos.






The colors are much truer to how the model looks in person.
I am much happier with them than the original indoor shots.

Hey, you offered up new pics first.... lol ;D Just a nice, clean build - which is just your style!

I remember sitting in the stands at Indy in 2001 as I cheered Helio's win but I couldn't help to think about Greg and this being his ride RIP

You did a beautiful job on this car !!! I have always loved the players paint scheme and was a big fan of Greg Moore. I have the kit and decals for this car, if I ever get some time away from resin I plan to build it (along with the other kits taking up two closets). Lance
