That reminds me, I made a replica of the Losi LXT graphic used in the manual so it could be used on a decal and added it to MCI's catalog.

Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Continued building some Tamiya rally cars... built up a TB01 with WRX body, and did the final detail work finishing touches on my TT01 Mk1 Escort. The Escort is all custom bits:
- A good friend made the body and decals
- Home-made or modified light buckets
- Front grille and headlight details from scratch (good enough from a distance)
- Front and rear bumpers kit-bashed from Tamiya Datsun 240z parts ;)

Think I'll call them both done 8)
