Jeff Gordon retires
Posted by mississippivol on Sunday, November 22, 2015 9:33 PM

I've never been a fan of Gordon, but with his last race today, I have to admit that he had a spectacular career. With that, here's a build from 10 years ago of his rookie car. Monogram 1.24 Lumina, with the awful kit decals of it's day, backed up with white decal underlay to offset the bleed thru.

You know.........that looks really good despite the issues with the decals.

Great job, I built a couple models of the same car way back when, I used I think SLIXX decals on mine though. Nice work!

Hard for me to believe he's retiring, I remember him as a rookie, he's not that much older than me...
