Decided against the mod 1 the price 2 the fact it’s never gonna be run as it’s soooo poor JJ

Thank you JJ

Anyone any links to parts that improve the rear set up on the grasshopper/frog/lunchbox? JJ

Got the cheapo rere grasshopper II shelf queen today - what an awful chassis haha along side ids it’s big sister JJ

I’ve also been requested to leave the dining room table as eating surrounded my tamiya cars isn’t as joyous to others in my house had to buy a shed but I only have space for 6x8 (foot people - not meters!!) so it’s gonna be cosy but hey ho! my friend is 3D printing me wall hangers for the cars old kitchen workshop industrial power trunking plenty of insulation Feature wall heating (I hope) cant wait JJ

Love this JJ

Looking good all stickered up. (I’ll take some better pics in the daylight) This was the paint overspray but it’s not a major issue JJ

Well shell painting has been a bit hit and miss the neon orange went down ok but potentially needs a white backing and not black as it’s dulled down significantly - which actually works tbh masking was ok but trying to mask complicated areas like the roll bar means my lines are out ever so slightly JJ

Finished off the comical build today what a lovely chassis will try and get the shell painted tomorrow JJ

Getting stuck into the comical hornet build a bit today got the gearbox stripped and ball races added plus a sports tuned 540 (colour match only) then built a bit of the chassis and finally painted and assembled my driver this is the first time I’ve painted the driver on a car - quite enjoyed it and made soooooo much easier with the tamiya paint stand that only cost me £14 off amazon Going to mask up tomorrow and paint the roll hoops a nice bright colour JJ

Very nice my freshly painted tamiya guy is indeed impressed JJ

Well it needs some lube so Im going in ha ordered neon carrot orange to try and mask up and paint the roll bars internally (cheapest paint at £3.99 delivered) itll be the first attempt at masking up rather than relying on the stickers JJ

Ah yes - thank you JJ

They pop up on eBay from time to time a stunning car bear hawk arrived today - yummy what a lovely car im very impressed and the matte black is amazing JJ

Well it’s arrived but gutted the gearbox is pre assembled (I may take it apart) the Core RC paint looks best grey on the lid but giving the corner of the lexan mould a few coats and I think it’s gonna be ok It has a nice sparkle to it JJ
