Project Golden Rod
Ok, here's my current build. After being on these forums for some time now, I think it's high time I actually post a build! This is also my first attempt with an air brush and something more complicated than a straight line
It's going to be a runner and still needs a few small parts and the wing mounted but should be running by the week-end.
For lack of a better name, I call it the Golden Rod.

Re: Project Golden Rod
Thanks! The name came from a mix of lack of imagination and my hay fever! Yes, this will be a runner. If I build something, I'm going to run it!

Re: Project Golden Rod
You guys are bad
The car has some nice goodies on it, most of which were bought on this forum. I'm really looking forward to running this car to see how it handles.

Re: Project Golden Rod
It needs A&L stiffeners to match the paint job... and strengthen the rod

Re: Project Golden Rod
Looking good. Can you tell us what body that is? I saw your car in another thread the other day, and was waiting for your build thread to inquire. At first it looked like a XXX body of some sort, but Im now guessing its a TBG Stealth. Am I right?

Re: Project Golden Rod
Yes, it's the TBG Stealth. I'm trying to mount it as low as I can so it has a thinner profile.

Re: Project Golden Rod
Thanks! I learned a lot about painting with that shell, mostly what not to do
