Lo-Lo, you about a creative ol rascal aint'cha? Looks good, personally i think the chrome wheels and low pro tires would look killer with that color, but it's your model. It's gonna be really cool, regardless of what wheels it's runnin!

im buying another one to do a full update

my worst nightmare testors on testors violence. it was some light crazing all over the body i managed to work some of it out but not before hitting a 9

since that episode ive decided to use Vallejo flat clear as a barrier for ALL my paintjobs, it worked great as a barrier primer for red bodies and it did great on another build before this.
