Rainforest green

Let me know which color looks better.

 

[Valvefloat]

wow this color darkened when dried, I like it.

Tried to tint...1 ml of Smoke to 1 ml of isopropyl 

[Valvefloat]

Another try, 1 ml of Smoke, .5 ml of isopropyl, still a touch foggy.

Looking good, nice job on the hemi and the chassis.

I took my time and referenced real Hemi Cudas online.

Id like to wire it but Ive been waiting for 32 ga wire from China for 2 months, 150 feet for $12 , Ill wait.

I would have sourced another vendor with that wait, even at 12 dollars. I scrounged all mine from old headphones and cell chargers.

Have used light dustings of Tamiya Smoke straight from the spray can and got a better finish than you would expect. 

[Valvefloat]

Ill keep working at it.

Here's a stock height nicely built example to compare ride height

[Valvefloat]

It's painted and it's green lol.

I might have a slight color difference on the hood since I ran out of paint🙄. I'm happy with my mixing of acrylic and isopropyl, lays down better.

I said no metallic but one drop of Pearl is subtle enough.The flake is great scale too.
