Brad FurmingerI'm going to get this out of the way first... this is not intended to be a historically accurate diorama. The cars may be taken from different years, but it is intended to capture the spirit of the big wrecks notorious to the NASCAR super speedways like Talladega and Daytona.

Brad FurmingerI should also add how appreciative I would be if anybody has the Mark Martin #6 Valvoline instructions that they could upload to the database. The kit I bought sadly was without and I am not the best at winging it.

Brad FurmingerThanks, James. As kids we used to have as much fun disposing of our models as we did building them. This idea combines the two loves together.

Peter HardyThat's an awful big bite Brad, however I will enjoy watching you try to chew it!

Brad FurmingerA big bite indeed. My ultimate goal is the full 43-car pack, starting with four and expanding outward. But the biggest part of the challenge will be finding room for it without upsetting my wife. Hope you enjoy the ride.

Christian WWow! Read the first comments and descriptions under the pictures. There you have a huge project! I wish you good luck and endurance.
The cars I see so far are pretty good built. Great project!

Brad FurmingerThe cost of the kits is not really much of an issue. Nobody around here really wants NASCAR kits so I can pick them up for about $5 Canadian apiece. Sometimes less. But the paint really starts to add up after awhile.

Chris GreathouseEven at $5, that's still $215 for a full pack!! And man o man the paint... yikes!
