Give that Supra a nice coat of Future before you hang it up -- it's gonna look so good when the decal lines are hidden.

Got another round of decals in...I think I can get my custom Fiat done in time for the next meet.

Unfortunately it won't be on a high mount pod like Grant and Steve but 90mm super narrow will still be wicked hard to drive as is. I hope it's still acceptable to our duo of stupid fast drivers.

I have some others in queue but they'll have to wait for me to source some paint.

If I had one in my stockpile hoard I'd use it but unfortunately thats the only thing i seem to be missing from my years of throwing stock parts into my bin.

90mm narrow will be difficult enough for me...with a 70turn and the right gearing i should get within 1.5sec a lap of your times.

shhhh, don't tell anyone but our Abarth's are the quite possibly our easiest cars to drive.

I doubt that ill find it as easy as you guys...

The Alitalia Abarth shell is shaping up. Detail paint in progress and decals are halfway there. Pretty interesting taking a decal set meant for a wedge Lancia and putting it to work on a fat round Fiat....

Fired off a quick little project that had been nagging at me:

I converted my 1/10th scale brushed motor tester/charger into a 1/28th scale motor tester. With judicious use of xmod and MRCg parts plus a piece of CF laminate I had laying around i was able to make a motor holder and mount the sensor array together in a neat(ish) package.



Works pretty well as long as I don't have fat or round can motors.

Found a site that has different decal sets than Pattos and I found some glue and interesting paint to try. I really hope they work out because if they do ill be able to reproduce a couple classic mini Z's that I've always wanted.

Stay tuned!

A tough go painting bak Choi's Lexus has led to the toughest decal set I've ever tried applying...fingers crossed I can get all this sh...stuff done for Sunday.

Stay tuned in my gallery for final pics (I hope)!

I'm convinced that Bak Choi's Lexus job was cursed...got 4 different bodies on the go and all running smoothly.

1. 458 eset racing
2. H.I.S SuperGT GTR500
3. 03 Gzox NSX
4. Jacadi McLaren F1 GTR.

If we have a gtg on the 10th I should have a couple completed.

You make my finishes feel insignificant with your affection for that Audi. Two of these latest works are going to be awesome (I hope) because I got inspired and did some paint mixing that came out awesome (IMO). Instead of fighting to make color decal patches fit I nailed the paint scheme....

Gotta appreciate each one for its own character, Steve

Btw, you still have any 458's?

Hah, I love them all, you know it. The time and attention to detail is so freaking impressive. I just have a special place in my heart for that R8.
Nobody looks at my F1 car without commenting on it, into RC or not, they are all very impressed.
I have no 458s left, only bought a red one and Colin has it now. It looked great but again, the R8 is where its at for me.
