  1. Wow! Haven't visited Tamiyaclub in a while (into RC planes exclusively now) and didn't know there was a party going on here.

    Unfortunately, I'm all the way on the other side of the world from most of you in the Philippines. Sending stuff out into the world from here is crazy expensive. You can check the couriers' websites if you want. Fortunately, I've sold most of the kits locally and only have the Fast Attack and the XR311 left.

  2. I'm into RC planes now and have been for a while so I'm letting go of some of my kits. They are unopened and the boxes have been wrapped in plastic. Shipping one kit via courier with tracking is $80 to the US and $85 to the UK (I know, shipping is crazy now). Please message me if you have questions. Open to reasonable offers.

    Tamiya 1/12 XR311 - US$300

  3. I've been really busy the past two weeks so not much progress made. 

    I 3d printed embossed badges (painted chrome) and printed decals to go over them.

    This is the decal on the 3d printed badge still soaking with water. I then squeezed the water out and ... voila! This actually turned out better than I expected. I will probably have to spray a clear coat over them to prevent the decals from peeling.

    Seriously.... This is Master Class work!! 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏  There are so many possibilities for skinny Tyre Cars to have unprecedented accuracy.

    Any chance you're going to take a chance on the 12" Mini Wheels?

    Thanks! 

    Oh no! You just planted a seed in my mind suggesting the Mini wheels! Too many ideas and not enough time (and money).

    That is so good.

    Love the silver colour - is that paint? Actually looks like a piece of pressed metal

    I used Alclad polished aluminum. Alclad Chrome would have been better but it's not available anywhere in my part of the world right now.

    It can actually look a lot better by giving the hub caps a smooth glossy black base. Since I just wanted to see what it would look light, I just sprayed the 3d printed part with a single coat of black paint then gave it a coat of Alclad.

    Here are the door trims and grille frame printed in Alclad.
