What did you do to your model today?

[Wabom1981]

Beat up the front bumper, painted and weathered it. Also painted and fitted the grille.

I went to fit the new rear wing to the Outcast and found the rear brace stop broken  So I thought that would be a good excuse to buy a Voltage Hobbies alloy one but they want $47  delivery for a $22.95 part 

 

 

The Voltage Hobbies one looks a little complicated for me to do. I could've had a go though if I had the broke bits.

Took my Kraton to my local stone quarry. 

Not surprised something eventually give up. It was cartwheel after cartwheel. And because of the dry weather the ground is like concrete.

Took the Yeti out for a quick spin this morning and have lost front drive all together, think the bulkhead has warped and lost pinion/ring gear mesh, all this heat must have melted it

I had the same issue a few weeks ago and thought it was the diff internals, but I changed them for HPI gears and a Boom Racing metal cup, think it’s time for a VP bulkhead and be done with it lol

Sounds like a good excuse for shiny stuff!

Cockpited up the Starcard

Did a coat of Tamiya dark yellow on the WPL body.  Now I need another can to finish.. which means the paint on the body is soon going to cost more than the whole model did.

wrong paint colour name

Early morning yeti fun. Managed to lose 2 clips in a spectacular tumble, and got chased by a german shepherd. Fun times all round.

 

Need some way of mounting my phone so i can record some clips.

 

Edit: the car got chased, not me lol.

Managed to succesfully remove one set of tints.

 

Cut carfully around the window frames and peeled off the stick on tints.

Stuck the rtr shell back on the yeti. No idea why, just felt like tinkering!

[peterthedrummer]

Cleaned and checked car after taking it out for a bash and running to batteries 

[XV Pilot]

Planned my next project, searched through my spares boxes to find out what needs ordering. Turns out not much, just a body, wheels and some turnbuckles.

[Tug]

Fitted a whole new diff to the Budget-Maxx, turns out I'd bust a diff cup. 

[XV Pilot]

I don't always succeed but I always try to finish one RC project before I embark on another. Since I am planning to start building a FF-02 soon, I thought it best to finish my Tyrrell first.

 

 

So to this end I made a start this morning on a part I have been putting off for months, namely the driver's helmet which I painted with TS gloss white. Once this is dry I will need to paint the face as best I can using acrylics and a fine brush, then apply the supplied decals.

 

Once the helmet is finished and attached, I will consider this model done. I am not using the tyre decals on this set of foam tyres as they are for running. I will perhaps use them on a set of rubber tyres for the shelf.

Put together the psu and charger I got from here:



All seems to be working well.

A real pain today, stolen from the net, resized & printed images. There are very few to choose from which are usable for Metcalfe, a chap on eBay wanted £50 for printed as a special one off, I must admit that was the driving force £££.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They look better from a distance.

 

Total cost £4.50.

 

Going to make a light box for the top logo next week.
