You've seen this one before - as I was checking everyone's entries, I saw EOL's BlackWig and I thought that I needed to side by him and his tamiya obsession and add ANOTHER BigWig to this month :mrgreen:

So here we go, Here's my ORIGINAL Big Wig - no re-re, not a single re-re part, the real thing :) It has a very special value to me: This is the very first vintage RC car I worked on, starting in '98, when I painted the body first. It is pseudo box-art but with pearl white and metallic blue, and some yellow stripes to match the rollacage. Not my best paintjob to be honest!

Then the chassis went through a few rebuilds in the decade after that as I was painfully collecting parts, and it is now made solely of NOS parts gathered and swapped in the decade or so after that. It sports a new VZ, and the mech speedo still needs to be installed some day. (maybe...)

I painted Larry Lancaster with much patience, being not a patient kinda guy this was almost therapeutic for me :mrgreen:

It has basically sat on the shelf like this for the past decade or so... When Tamiya decided to re-release last year, for the first time I was pissed at them for re-re'ing something as it took me so long to get this one together.

Everyone will say it's a re-re, I don't care a penny, because I know it's the real McCoy and I will never ever sell it anyway :mrgreen:
