That's the hard part :) And I have to keep in mind that it's still RC. i.e. it will get beaten up rather quick. So nothing too fancy.

Sweet Dicky.... Looks nice.

Good poses for the trucks too. I like the one by the lake.

The foam brushes are cheap. Like .30 - .50 cents each.

As for spraying it on via airbrush or gun i recommend buying a "detail" gun from harbor freight. They are cheap ($15-$25 us) and will spray heavier fluids. They also sell full sized spray guns for heavy fluids and cost about the same but the quart sized cup is HUGE for spraying masking liquid.

I am thinking about buying a big spray gun, like the guys use to spray truck bed liner and stuff.

Here's a nice tip for you: Get a foam brush (from Walmart I heard) to brush it on. Wash it with cold water... it might still get hard and messed up after a few bodies, but for less than one dollar per brush it's not bad.
If you brush it on, don't worry too much about getting every coat super even, rather put an extra coat on.
And yeah, let it dry overnight before you peel, or even 2 days if you still have white spots. Half an hour between coats is fine.
Best LMF I ever tried is this Bob Dively stuff, btw.

Hope this helps

Bob Divley you say... Thats what I used just cuz thats what the LHS had in stock. Musta just got lucky. Or the LHS has a painter there that knows whats what.

I found a blast with a hair dryer will dramatically speed the drying process.

Thanks! Me too. The lake pics are the most current. Taken on 4-1-07. The parking lot pics were taken in early feb. when it was still 98% stock. the only stock parts left now are the tranny case, rx, evx, slipper and titans. it will stay that way until around x-mas.

here is my rattlecan attempt..

The muscle 2.0 looks nice in person..

Procharged5.0 04.04.2007 12:34 PM
Serum,

The third pic looks pretty nice. (not that the other two don't mind you.)

What body is it?

jhautz 04.04.2007 12:34 PM
I like the red and white one serum. Looks clean and simple.

Nice work with the rattle can!

That's a Muscle 2.0 of proline Hank. Too bad it only fitts a non-extended vehicle..

Got some other bodies as well, but these are made by Sebairbrush. One has an RC-monster logo on it..

That gunmetal/blue/silver are my favourites to be honest.. Some red and white give it a more racer look..

One of my personal favourites is this;

made by a Dutch guy.

Nice!

The symmetrical pair concept is cool!
