Sorry to hear about the Alclad II, I used that on Lexan and it came out decent when backed in black: https://i.imgur.com/E2Zo9MY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N7SJv4M.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IlFArEX.jpg The best Chrome spray I have seen, for regular ABS, or PLA, is Revell Chrome Spray, it looks like mirro...

After 10 years of using the same phone, a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, I just switched to the newest S25 Ultra - the pictures have a blur to them now - looks worse to me in every instance in low light pictures. I need to figure out how to fix this. The build has begun. https://i.imgur.com/UMftb2j.jpg htt...

Got as far as I could yesterday, going to see if I can finish this today.

Chassis is done. https://i.imgur.com/F0farbv.jpg Was going to use the front bumper, but thinking about something else now. https://i.imgur.com/QNcAvoe.jpg Testing the Centerline wheel covers. The vintage tires will be the last detail - looking forward to adding the tire writing, the Sand Blaster let...

Sanded with 2500 grit sponge, Dawn soap and rinse, and three coats of primer. https://i.imgur.com/jGSdrPz.jpeg The Blue for this project is difficult to figure out which to use. https://i.imgur.com/1AEJJBO.jpeg Left to right: TS-93 Pure Blue, TS-10 French Blue, TS-44 Brilliant Blue, TS-19 Metallic B...

Funny you should say that, I was thinking about taking that exact front bumper from the Sand Scorcher, for the Rough Rider: https://i.imgur.com/PZsbWde.jpg and getting the more box art shaped front bumper for the SS. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/EyUAAOSwwbdWMUNr/s-l1600.jpg https://tamiyabase.com/...

In the reissue Buggy Champ manual, there is no blue version shown, only the TS-12 Orange. https://i.imgur.com/9cA37xu.jpeg The reason for that, I believe, is because they only wanted to have to make one set of decals. The white stripes with the orange decal scheme built-in: https://i.imgur.com/PKJAS...

The build is looking great! I have a rere Buggy Champ on the to be built shelf. Thanks for documenting the build and sharing your thoughts and tips along the way. I'm glad you pointed out the issue with the missing lettering on the front tires. I purchased a Super Champ and it just happened to have...

Front bumper is on the way, got the countersunk top bolts model. Another TS-10 French Blue can is on the way, with some TS-13 Clear too. @6:19 they're loading up the Bel-Ray Bullet. A3KBfSudM7w The older guys I used to dirt bike with told me to check out the movie, On Any Sunday, long ago, that was ...

Got the vintage tires today, front tire on the right is pretty solid, the other on the left is like an old bike tire that sat out in the sun, look at all the cracks. https://i.imgur.com/4xcAIb4.jpg "Go find another set", is about all that can be said about this - this set took about 3 mont...

Painting the tires is the hard way, compared to decals - which do look good on foam tires - but these wheels have to look vintage/original, I've gone this far already. Finding those HPI 911 Fuch's after all of that time, and with the staggered size front and rear, was incredible! 8) https://i.imgur....

Thanks! https://i.imgur.com/S0vIi2W.jpeg For me, it would be easier to get those curved lines that are blue, painted entirely blue first, and then masked over with curve tape to add the white. That's a really fine line that I want to try to make as sharp as possible, and the white needs to appear to...

Got the wheel hubs painted. https://i.imgur.com/ZROUV7D.jpeg Will wait for these to dry and then put the tires on them. Will mount and paint the tires today. The body and top in TS-10. https://i.imgur.com/okyRjod.jpeg Ran out of TS-10, another can is on the way. Will wet sand this coat smooth when i...

Started playing guitar at 9 years old, had a very specific/limited scope of music I liked as a result - for many years - still not right :). II71tmVsKrE Liked the Wurlitzer/Rhodes keyboard synth 70's stuff too, this one is stuck from 3 or 4 years old, can hear this one in a quiet room still :lol: yg...

Got the front bumpers swapped.
