4 bodies finished last week, and 3 more this week!

The Bolink trophy truck body has some nice big areas and I thought it would be nice to try some trick I'd heard about:

thanks guys

No immediate plans really:

The bolink is designed for a touring car, so it will either go on a kyosho spider TF-1 (basically a narrowed optima-mid) or a Yokomo YR-4 (basically a narrowed YZ-10). It's intended for use with scale tires;...

This cheap body seemed perfect for the experiment.

Neat effect!

I've seen similar custom effects done on full size vehicles using plastic wrap on wet paint for a marbled look, spraying water droplets & dusting over them for a 3D look...very cool.

Now if I only had the patience to do this kind of...

Hi folks,
I've come accross a NIB 1/10 Sanwa model today.

It's a kind of 1/10 pan car with alu chassis and a 380 moter and gear diff on the rear axle. It must be pretty old: it has a battery box for single cells, like the earliest Tamiyas.

I finally got my b5m, got it built and painted. The paint scheme is inspired by martini racing colors. Not as clean as I'd like in some places, but I'm pretty happy with it. Tell me what you think!

Guys, I have some old front RC10 rims that are painted. I want to strip the paint and dye them. What can I use to strip the paint that won't hurt the nylon? Any suggestions?

Thanks
