Juggernaut jims Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm going to stop looking at this thread (If I can) as I look at mine and then start thinking I need a scale rc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Do you gently 'show off', race or 'seriously bash'? If you're the latter, then scale's not for you, without serious 'wallet theraphy' required!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rover Man Posted August 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2014 This is the winner for me Looks so real. well done buddy you should be proud of that epic build 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Landy looks superb, the setting ruins it, as I've said before....as with so many of these pics. It is tricky to fit scale kit into a 1:1 world (I have spent many hours posing 1/6 scale kit for photos), but very doable, with some proper thought/placement. Background is key, so, whilst rocks/sand/gravel are great, having trees and ferns in the background, which are completely out of scale, ruins the image for me... Just seems a shame to spoil hours of creativity with a five minute shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think you could even play with depth of vision and superimpose live 'game' into it. The setting's not bad at all, the Landy's superb. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the watchman Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) This is the winner for me Looks so real. well done buddy you should be proud of that epic build Thank you roverman, i really appreciate the nice words, she's called mandy the landy lol, my fiancee bought it me for my last birthday and my fiancee is called amanda so thats how she became mandy the landy, i dont name any of my rc's normaly but some how it suited this one, anyways with regards to the scale background i put very litlle thought into the background as im actually to busy enjoying running it. I travel to the lake district on a regular basis and always take a rc or two with me and i always snap a few pics, to be honest i spend more time having fun crawling around and i just snap the occational pic here and there on my phone, i dont actualy look for a scale setting as such im far to busy enjoying playing with it, but i do think some of the pics come out rather good.

TrickyTris Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Oh sweet jesus.. That is phenomenal! My favourite car in the world right there! Giulia Sprint GTA's are beautiful little cars! I'd have one over ANY car, any day! I think I know what my next rc project will be now! Had no idea these shells existed! On another note.. I actually looked into buying one of these in full race spec a while back. Found one being sold for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurcyP Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 lool all that effort for mini gazeebos etc..but have massive fence posts on their bodyshells shame as thats really cool. Also tamiya do a m06 of that Giulia Sprint, its hilarious to watch it race in stock form bouncing all over the shop like some pimps low rider on broken hydraulics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also tamiya do a m06 of that Giulia Sprint, its hilarious to watch it race in stock form bouncing all over the shop like some pimps low rider on broken hydraulics Exactly what I thought when I saw that picture! Would have thought if you're anal enough to go to that much detail, you'd have the common sense to buy a few different sets of posts and trim them to match your shells.. I believe the version oodboo linked me to is an M06 chassis. Looking online, there are plenty of hop-ups available for it. Should make a cracking shelf queen! Though there is no way I'd be sticking horrible body posts through my shell! Body posts ruin the scale look for me. Big no no! Oh and no Alfa GTA should handle well. You ever watched them in real life? It's crazy! The only way they get around corners quickly is by sliding around them!

Haha haha the m06 sadly with its amazing stock shock absorbers and setup it makes for a rather funny experience i can assure you, however as you said SO many hop ups available so adjustable carbon shock towers and better shocks sorts the comedy handling out pretty quick. however racing them stock against ..not so stock minis is just too funny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTris Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) I'll have to give it a little drive when I have it and film it for its comedic value! Already have a hop-up's list building.. That lowrider looks the mutts!! Reminds me of the truck on episode 31 of Roadkill. Edited August 14, 2014 by TrickyTris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it rolls, the body posts should take some of the impact before the shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
