Fully rubbed down and the base white coat is done .

Old body is ready for runner duty They do like to photo bomb if they can

Found a cool old wing to finish off the runner body and an old Demon motor I thought was toast but it turned out it was a bad brush and brush spring , also swapped out the 12t pinion for a 14t and it runs very nicely now with the motor still only warm after 5 min . Last thing to do now will be the g...

I've looked at these when they come up and had much the same response as you , curious , too rare for an organ donor for a Coyote , very fragile looking .
It's kind of got Mcferson strut suspension all round without shocks , odd choice .

This is one of those really simple ideas , its just mesh for body windows , printed in a 100mm square .

This is a replica I am doing using all vintage parts....it's replicating an Ultima the Diamond One raced in the 80's....the chassis was a beat up pile I restored, along with the TrackMaster tranny...it will be a slow process, but here's the start

Local pickup from Gumtree (of all places).... should satiate my Tamiya wrenching craving!!! 101.jpg 103.jpg 104.jpg Two TT01s, a TT01e, and an M03 (in M03L configuration). Plus a metric squibload of spares, including more than 10 of the same sprue..... apparently, the previous owners used to go to t...

Handy having machine tools.

Not sure if I'm more jealous of having the tools, or knowing how to use them...

Don't pop your shoulder out of joint patting yourself on the back.....that fix is the shix! Most excellent. Way more classy than a moon roof!

Very Nice! What model number Sieg you got there? Are you happy with it overall? Certainly looks like it!

Woke up on a rainy Saturday, with no real plan, saw the SRB parts spread all over the place, and decided to get into it. Building this the opposite way you should. Get to a step, gather, repair and clean parts as needed, and assemble that step. Rinse and repeat. Makes for a slow build. This is my fi...

Over the last few months I have slowly rebuilt a Wild Willy. I picked it up cheap and found a few broken parts, modeled them and printed replacements including having a stainless steel 3d printed axle tube made.
