Really impressive. My skills don't go beyond a two-tone scheme done with blue tape using any exsiting lines on the body as my guide!

If you can do a two-tone you can do this one just take your time.

My next project is a T2 body for the RC10T I am currently rebuilding...maybe now I'll have the confidence (and patience) to try for something more detailed! Thanks for the motivation!

As commented on your TC showroom, this body is really nicely done - you have a lot of patience 8)

Painting bodies is 10% spraying & 90% masking out/preparation... I too am not skilled enough with the knife blade to use the spray mask - I feel much more confident to cut masking tape on a modelling board before applying it to the shell - unfortunately this does limit you to certain designs & is time consuming.

Thanks for the comment ruffy. I do have a driver but he is going into the box art body I am working on . The box art body will have the windows cut out and netting I have left over from a hot shot kit. The driver was painted by racer8838. I wish I would have cut out windows on the body I have posted .

Excellent paint-work, sure looks a lot better than a see-through shell!
