Re: A few of my Tamiya projects

Ahhh, thanks for the tip on the body! It's really big compared to the other Frog bodies. Looks almost like a larger scale, not sure I will use it yet. I got all the paint off of it though. If anyone tells you getting paint off Lexan is easy, forget it! I have tried brake fluid, which makes the Lexan...

Picture quality

Hey I've noticed that my resized pictures just don't have the clarity I would like. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to improve them? I am taking them at a fairly high resolution and they show every speck at full size.
Thanks!

Re: What Else?

I play with big cars. Currently a Mopar a-body fanatic, but I'm fickle! The orange-red Plymouth Scamp has a built 360 in it and I'm driving it while the Plum Crazy car is getting the 400/727 combination. They are both 1972 models

My T3 fleet of two

I'll probably end up selling these as they do not get my blood boiling the way the buggies do. They just don't have the same character as the buggies or the sophistication of my HPI RS4MT.

A few of my Tamiya projects

These are just a few. I must admit I'm spread pretty thin right now. :/
A blackfoot I found on craigslist for dirt cheap. Very nice condition, just needs a new paint job - obviously painted in the eighties!

I bought this one and found out the hard way about e-bay.  This is now a big pile of parts.

This Frog was the dirtiest RC car I have ever seen.  Anybody recognize the body?

Talk about sticker shock! This is actually quite nice under the stickers and grime.

Re: Lurker comes out of the shadows

Just a couple more shots of my projects. All of these are in their infancy, so they don't look so hot right now:
Got this one at a local automotive swap meet along with a Kyosho High Rider Corvette painted to match for cheap!

This body is really nice - only needs a bit of touch up.  The chassis was pretty banged up so I de-anodized it, my first try. The white parts were very yellowed so i dyed them blue.

This body was beat up really badly so I chopped it off and sprayed it semi-flat black on the outside.

Got these with one of the cars - too bad the wheels are ruined. :(

Lurker comes out of the shadows

Hey guys (and gals)! My name is Gary and I have a problem. I'm addicted to RC cars! I really don't know why. My first car of any sort was a Tyco Turbo Hopper I got in 1987. I found a Tamiya Super Champ at a local swap meet and bought it because it looked so cool. I had great fun with it until one da...
