Popular Post CarlC Posted March 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Fitted the interior to my Cherokee hard body, along with the driver. Added a light kit and got it all mounted on my trusty TRX-4 Sport, but with 106mm Class 1 tyres (Hyrax in Predator compound). My first hard body, so not perfect but am happy with it for a first go. It looks very similar to the one I owned back in the early 2000s. Edited March 28, 2020 by CarlC 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlC Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Add a number plate to the Cherokee, created in Tinkercad then 3D printed in ABS, yellow painted in. Then I started on my next shell for the Enduro, going for a distressed Chevy C-10 - managed to drop the airbrush, and bust it, so I am more distressed then the truck probably will be. Did manage to get the base metal coat finished, added some variation in colour by varying the thickness of the silver then backed in pale grey. Windows were over masked so the silver won't show through at their edges once the shell is painted on the outside. Well, that the plan, have never done a distressed truck before, it may be a disaster lol. Edited March 29, 2020 by CarlC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe Mine are the £15 knockoffs lol, I honestly have found over the years that knockoffs perform about 80-90% as good as the real ones anyway, worth a try.

Oh How Original Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just now, stimpy said: let me know man 👍 ( Though I doubt yours have alien snot in) I will post my opinion, probably in my build thread, although I might not get to test them for a while due to social distancing and whatnot...

No brains Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Did some sort of a rust effect on my ford raptor body, painted the body with an airbrush and use for the first time createx wicked colors, not happy with the paint after one run it starting to flake off, I did not want the strip all the paint of the body so I did a rust effect on it. I use to paint the body with an airbrush and vallejo premium that paint have not flaked off, I going back to use rattle cans for painting bodies, the problem I have with those airbrush paints is the pigment, some colors do not cover at all, you can paint it al lot of layers and you can see true the body and then you have to back it with a other color, and getting the right thickness is a pain in the...., rattle can are much easier to use and the paint sticks beter to . I reinforced the rear of the body with a alloy plate, getting sick an tired that every time when I get a new body for this car heavy 1/8 scale ,after one run with a few landings on the roof the body post come trough it, I don't get it why the proline bodies in the front are thicker lexan then in the rear of the body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest issue is that everything needs to be packed away in the garage when it's not in use. The dog would tear it apart! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
