Hi Eurobricks community! This is the first time posting my own thread on Eurobricks and I wanted to test out if posting my MOCs here is ok or counts a spam or something. I will be only glad for any feedback I get and really happy if you like my model!

The Driver
Richard Petty. If you are a bit into classic US muscle cars a bit, I'm sure you already heard this name. Richard Lee Petty also know as "The King" was a NASCAR driver between 1958 and 1992. He won the NASCAR Cup series 7 times while also winning a record 200 races during his career. Richard Petty is known for driving Petty blue cars with the start number 43.
The Car
On February 14th, 1971 Petty won his third Daytona 500, driving a back then brand new Plymouth Road Runner. A car from the second gen of the B-bodies, the "fuselage" design also featuring a 425 hp HEMI.
The Recreation
My model recreates a car he raced one of his races in the 1971 season, unfortunately, I couldn't find out in which race he used this car. it is based on a restorated version I found here. The most annoing thing about building this model was doing all the prints/stickers for it. Some of them I found in the internet, some of them I had to do on my own. Setting them all up needed a long time! Unfortionately the printed parts didn't showed up in Blender, the rendering platform I use. That's why my friend Alexey (w35wvi) readded all the stickers in Mecabricks (which doesn't work properly on my computer) and then rendered these amazing pictures for me.

You can find instructions for this model on my Rebrickable page.

Great Shape, and love the color! 

Thank you very much! I like including a pop of color in each of my builds! Always white, grey and black is too boring.

Nice work. You've captured the details and stickers well.

Thanks a lot! you can download the sticker sheet at Rebrickable too.

I love the shaping here. Really nailed it. The color definitely pops, but I could also see it in a different color still looking solid. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much! Yes, I think t would look nice in any color, but petty blue is just the most iconic NASCAR color!
