Very cool , I haven't thought about Barbapapa or Barbamama in decades :D I thought it was definitely suitable for some vintage RC, just like the Mistery machine is also very suitable for a Lunchbox :-) (be carefull, next image may reignite some chidhood memories)... https://i.imgur.com/7JgCrAF.jpg

Letting the dogs runs round the yard and saw this "little" guy land.

One of the Big Bear bodies I have had an awfully thick paint on top of it. It seemed thick and quite solid... I put it for 48 hours in the magic sauce bath (aka Glanzer, see my Ninja and Shogun thread)... After about 6 hours, bubbles started to appear, so there was a good chance the paint can be rem...

And sometime later...

Van might get a bit wet....

I tend to procrastinate a lot when it comes to resin printing... The process is so cumbersome any reason to delay a print is a good reason... I delayed so much that I can just throw an ABS like resin bottle away. I was about to launch some prints today. I shaked the bottle quite for a few minutes, a...

Hello all! I just finished up a 40th anniversary RC10 classic build and wanted to show the results. I have some modern electronics in it (Quicrun 10BL120 G2 & 3652SL G2) and decided to go with the gunmetal grey color I have used on a few recent builds. My original RC10 from the late 80's was don...
