  1. I have made some small progress on the car. Not much but its starting to look like something Next up will be installing the electrics and prepare for the body attaching..
  2. Update time now There have been a long time since last update now. And due to some insanely slow shipping (EMS) from Asia, the electrics for the car have been delayed too. But now, stuff have arrived ESC and motor Some shocks and a fan thats included with the ESC And here is a little teaser... Next up is to build the shocks, assemble the steering and mount the rest of the electrics. I cant say when the next update will be, but stay tuned..
  3. We´r not rushing this build. But it´s coming along nicely.. Next up is to build the shocks
  4. Thanks! The only thing bad are the window stickers! They were terrible, acted like a dust magnet and were very stiff, hence the torn front window sticker.
  5. More parts arrived after been stuck at the import center for the mail service during easter holiday.. Also continued alittle bit with the build More progress will be posted soon
  6. Some more bodu work done tonight. Im very pleased with the quality of the bodyart stickers, they were awsome and the detail is nice! Just had to put the rims into the wheel arches to have a look... Next up is head lights and rear lights. Have to decide if I shall tint the rear lights abit and how to make the headlight looks nice Any ideas or comments are appreciated
  7. Update... Body is painted. It got a total of four layers of orange metallic, two bright silver coats and two black coats. I think the end result is great! There is good depth in the color and the black dont shine through. Also just had to apply some stickers around the windows to hide some paint errors. The front window sticker tore in two.. FxxK!!!! But as i said to my son that was sitting next to me, no use in getting angry, more stuff will break then. We also managed to get the sticker for the window in place without looking too bad. The quality of the stickers were so so in my opinion. Felt abit hard and not as flexible as Tamiya´s stickers.. Next up is the body art.. Need some time alone and coffe to do that
  8. Alrighty.. after some driving when the weather have been drivable.. Both shells are cracked in the front, the Porsche has a dent in the side and there are scratches all over the cars. The Skyline had a run in with a rock that scratched and cracked the front.. Alot of bad language were used to no use when that happend. The Porsche also had some jumps and some major crashes. But even so, insane fun and alot more to come. Just have to clean up the drivetrain and get rid of some dust.
  9. It has begun! Trimmed and masked of the body, not quite Tamiya quality on the shell, some minor flaws and the details are abit rough. But the maskins seals were great! And the body has received three light coats and one medium/heavy coat of PS61 Metallic Orange and later tonight two coats of PS41 Bright Silver and finished with black Also my son "just had to" start building the car too... hard to say no. Still waiting for some hop ups that will arrive mid next week. Mail service is on easter vacation..
  10. The decal/ stickers look awsome and looks like to be of good quality too. Link to the eBay seller here
  11. Alright, this is what´s arrived so far Paint Wheels Body Decals More parts will arrive soon..
  12. Stuff have arrived, photos will be added later today! Still some things thats delayed by either covid limitations on shipping or beeing sent with donkey from asia..
  13. Well, thanks for advice. It is the light buckets that became loose and almost fell off. I will stay away from hotglue and try some of the other stuff thats mentioned.
