    Hi. Thanks for this post.

    Like you I enjoy the builds and I always seem to struggle with the painting as its my least favourite part of an build.

    My nearest RC shop is about  miles away , on Saturday I visited them to find they  do not stock Tamiya poly paint, so I opted for an alternative brand.

    I should have done a little more research but I was hoping to get my paint on before this weekend.

    I fancy a Beetle , not sure if it will ne Blitzer, standard or rally yet though.

    Please keep posting updates of your progress.

    Hi.

     

    I always fancied a WW, never got one until the WW2 then built it to standard spec used it a couple of times in the garden got bored with RC so sold it on. Since then been in and out of the hobby a couple of times. I have lunchbox that is going into its third colour of paint having been pulled out of the loft last week. My Scania needs finishing. But I am looking for another project. Yours have inspired me, love the WW garage.

    Hi.

     

    I have not been to Rother Valley Country Park for years, I was wondering if they have a good area that could be used?

    On a positive I have been able to get some paint on my LB shell. Also , been looking at other peoples builds and ideas for another project. I'm  thinking my Scania is going to have to wait in bits for a while.

    Hello.

    I am thinking about buying a Tamiya R/C truck, if I do I will add the MFU so my investment will be £500-£600.

    Having built many of the cars, and 3 tanks, I know the pleasure that is obtained from the build. 

    But with a truck once its built its fine to run it around the house a few times, and that can get boring, I don't want to end up on a shelf covered in layers of dust.

    So my question is who uses theirs, do owners meet up and if so where?

     

    Thanks everyone.  

     

    Farm King Farst Trac ?

    Hello everyone.

    During the last couple of years due to personal problems my magazine collection has all been recycled.

    I remember seeing an article some time in 2014 where someone had changed the wheels on a Farm King and painted it Yellow and called it Farst Trac.

    Does anyone know which mag, as I would like to get a back issue?

    Also if the builder is a member on here and posted anything I would like to see some photos.

    many thanks.

    Looks like everyone is building something different.

    As for me hopefully going to take the chrome off my lunchbox and paint them black to match the wheels.

    it has not been run for two years so test that it all works as it has moved from a warm home to what has become a damp shed via 2 warm sheds.

    Then I am going to open my ebay capri tt02, and consider what to do with it..
