Re-Release Bruiser Build

Post by GreenHell »

Here’s my re-release Bruiser build, something I’ve wanted for 25 years. To quote Kevin Spacey “Lester” form American Beauty “The car I've always wanted and now I have it. I rule!” lol

It’s a very nice kit (as it should be for the price) and went together pretty easy. Unlike the “race” kits I usually thrash together to get on the track asap, this one took me almost a month moving at a very leisurely pace. It was relaxing, almost like therapy. I’m very happy with the way the build turned out. The only thing left to do is paint the body and buy a 4ch stick radio or figure out how to shift gears with an M11X.

Sorry for the crappy iphone pics.
