evssv Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 8 minutes ago, ChrisT said: Nice purchase Are you going boxart with that or one colour? Boxarting the shell is tedious iff I'm honest. You don't get window masks so you'll have to make your own. Easiest way I found was make some out of paper first then transfer onto Tamiya 87130 masking sheets. Obviousley, the body is 4 different colours, so iff you don't have the paint in your parts box then that is additional costs. Also, the grill is 4 different colours but is Acrylic not polycarbonate, so thats 8 cans of paint in total. I cheaped out on the grill and just painted it all red Add to that a pot of gold acrylic brush on paint for the wheels. (it's all adding up now) Also, the wheels with stock hex's sit under the arches an awful lot, Myself personally didn't like the look so fitted some TT-02 wide hex's which were left over from a kit. Here's a few pics for inspiration : badass.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little fella is a kind of a double act for a future project Also got the Hilux incoming and the Land Cruiser (because it was cheap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the mx5 shelled m05 chassis that I will build once I get a few more hop ups for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Not the postie but I collected this little lot yesterday. sadly though, not all mine. A mate has asked me to build him a truck based on the Scania r620. With a little twist the new build Tamiya rally beetle is payment for the build, got a little plan for this chassis. the lunchbox he let me have for £50 so couldn’t say no really (this will be a family car for us all to use) will have all the necessary mods done too. oh and a 1/24 Cressida static model, mate gave it to me to build to see if I like it before buying my own. lastly this, asked if I could repair it for him. (Remote for reference) So so that’s me busy for a while 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
