weasel

built otb from a Tamiya kit...

i took a snapper kit, TweetyPie i think, and combined the body with the fenders of a '37 Ford, a fair amount of 'fill' was used on the tail, plastic and bondo... the fenders didn't need much molding at all...anyway, tri tone Mirage rattlecan over black lacquer rattlecan...oh, and graffics by Bondo, Ken Brickrel...

luke...is that a clear lexan slot/rc body?? either way, it's verry nice...

something a little different, out of the shop, no mega$$ sponsor, just speed!!

kinda in the middle of this one, a little on, a lot off...lolol i'm using the 'foil' from cig pacs to lay down as insulation for the floor...

not to thread jack ya... i went the other direction...down, and a little euro feel for this little parts getter...

pics of the front 'Z'...plz....

hmmm, i see you went to the museum, i was there a couple years ago...did ya see the models back in the motor shop?? the big diorama came all the way to Cincy to our[Cincinnati Auto Replicas] Cincy Challenge contest/swap, and he took a best detail award i believe...

two things about 'comfy'...easy on the eyes, and the 'MCMbanner'... that is all.... hey, G..$10 as aggreed??

for you dirt guys out there here's how i mud up my cars... this not rocket science, if you get to much on, wipe it off and go again!! that's the beauty of using REAL dirt, a little water cleans up any/many mistakes!! ok, your're gonna need a pan or two for the 'mix', have some 'heavy' stuff all the way down to basicly muddy water, an old toothbrush and some imagination!! this is my set-up... lets get started!! i usually do this during contruction but as i'm not close to muddin what i've got wip, i used this Stoops sprinter... grab the toothbrush, choose the 'mix' of your choice, dip the brush and flick it[run the thumb down the brush]onto the car... for the wheels/tires, again, i usually do this off the model, amyway, i use the long thin pan to roll the wheels/tires thru and somewhat cleaning the tread off.. for this instance i just 'painted' the mud on as i wasn't gonna pull the wheels off of this!! use as much as you want... a lot to reflect a 'heavy track' in practice or a little to reflect a hard, dusty, blue groove track with a little tack on the bottom.. don't forget to get UP under things...wings, hoods, fenders, etc...look at it and figure where the roost would go... now, that wasn't so bad was it?? viola!!!

none taken... i'm an old fart!! way back, at Edgewater Drag Strip, i saw him run that thing, 1st bike with a V8 that i'd ever seen!! it was wild, he'd stage it on the rear stand, tach up the motor and rollll off the stand to spin the tire so it wouldn't bog out!! imagine that!!

one thing to look out for tho', some of the new kits plastic doesn't like a 'hot' paint and will craze the plastic...

i like the HoK rattlecans from BlackGold, the real stuff!! needs clear of some kind to finish..they've also got tinted and pearld clears, i could go broke just buying paint from them...and they've got some pretty cool paint masks to... this is the large flame mask...

yeah, but us mortals use rattlecans!! lol

i see said the blind man... i'll try that...thnx G

+10 on Tamiya black, blackest black there is!! i used it on this BOSS429 if you can find Testors, they have a new '1 coat' line of paints [lacquer] and the black isn't to bad to work with...

thnx...HoK Raselberry pearl, i think!! no clear...

one thing aboot PineSol, IT WILL SOFTEN THE PLASTIC if left in the pond to long!!! trust me!! don't ask how i know!! lol ANY dot3 brakefluid, the bigger/cheaper the better..and it WON'T harm the plastic... i've, um, forgotten about stuff for over a month and not hand any probs...remember, there's plastics in the brake system...

was that after the E.J. Potter bikes?? nice build!!

interesting effect!! what did ya burn it with?? very realistic... hmmm, did ya'll know that GM Opticlean burns??[part# 1051515]it's the alcohol content!! surface fire only, not real hot, but would probably bubble the paint!!

hmmm, seems you've been busy!!! my 09 builds... my 08 builds... my 07 builds... can ya see where i'm going with this?? since i got my SV650 in 2005, i haven't finished anything, started a few, but.....

been there, done that... i keep my stuff in plastic cases to keep dust away, so, i'm moving some stuff around and dropped the case!!! DOH!!! luckly, every thing stayed inside the case!! nothing broke, just popped glue joints...
