I’ve only had to do basic masking for lexan but even that has been very patience testing. It looks like your efforts have certainly paid off though, great work.

I’ve been there too! I’m glad it’s not just me that makes these mistakes! That looks fun! I really need to get down to one of the local tracks soon.

Well I was born in London but to Welsh parents. So Australia But I will be cheering on the English girls in the final.

I must have missed that you had ordered an MB-01. I’m looking forward to seeing the build! Will there be a fleet of them like your Minis?…

A few days ago I picked up a cheap Cricut machine. I thought it would be good for decals and masking, plus the kids will probably make good use of it. Anyway, my first attempt with it was to create something or my BullHead tribute. Pretty happy with it. I created the 'artwork' in illustrator and then exported it to the Cricut software. After a little experimentation I had vinyl flames! Also, I passed my Australian Citizenship test last week so thought a change of flags was in order

I did see a couple of YT videos about that. I could be tempted

So far I’ve built two entrants for the Mario Kart x Tamiya series 😂 The first was based on a shortened Hornet chassis: The second is an SW01 ride for Donkey Kong (still needs finishing) I think the third might be a customised Kong Head for Toad:

That’s brilliant @yogi-bear you truly are smarter than the average bear I had my medical in the city today so while I was there I swing by the hobby shop and picked-up some paints for my Lunchbox build and another project. Got home and found a Lunchbox Jr. waiting for me: I now have the full size (1/12), mini (1/24) and Jr. (1/32) And also a radio shack van that will be around 1/14-1/16 scale. So at some stage I will have a fun foursome! And then I had some time to start putting together my WW build. It’s been on my wanted list for a long time and have to say it’s a lovely thing to build due to all the body parts that need painting etc.

That looks great @lele12 have fun with it. And sorry to go off topic but I love your madcap @Saito2. Do you have more images of it on the forum?

Sorry to hear that, there is no cure. Luckily you are in good company! What a great trio you have started with. I look forward to seeing what comes next.

Thanks both. But now I have a wheel problem! Yellow. White or silver!!!! 😂 As for stickers, I reckon I will try and cut some flames from vinyl and see how it looks. I also need to add a flag but I guess I should go with Australian rather than US!

Dusted off the Bullhead tribute I started a while back and made a little more progress: This is a (slightly hacked) GF01 chassis with an old Radio Shack body (below) and some added ‘chrome’ parts from the Konghead. Can’t decide if I want to get some scaled decals from MCI or just have it as is. I will probably dye the rims yellow to match the Jr. Version rather than investing in ‘chrome’ rims.

Ah, OK. It looks like a fun little bit of kit and a bargain at $35. Enjoy!

Great idea, I love it! Let’s race…

I saw that too but the ones I found were 1/16. If yours is 1/8 could you please post a link. Thanks!

Welcome, I look forward to seeing your growing fleet of cars

Amazing work all round as usual! That rollcage is inspired @Nicadraus! @lsear2905what a great track you made, I will be back at yours soon Today is my last day of work for a while. I'm going to spend some time with my wife, some at the gym and hopefully lots at my desk getting on with some builds! Talking of which, amongst the huge pile of kits to make/finish I did recently pick-up an old Nikko RC which was kaput. I really just wanted the shell. When it arrived it was quite a lot smaller than I had assumed, just 90mm wheelbase. Here it is next to a Hotshot chassis: Then I realised it could pair with an SW01... With a bit of fiddling I think it could just work!

From the mail room at my office I finally picked-up the Sand Rover that @Tamiyastef sent to me. Thankyou! Amazingly packaged and I'm very excited to build this one out. Oh and it's one of those cars that is somehow much bigger than I had imagined. Very cool!

Yes, totally agree with the other comments, this is looking awesome @nicherotors. Oh, and I also recently sprayed my WW bars in black rubber but I used gunmetal for the tubes. Yours looks much better and the white weathering just takes it up another notch. So good.

I got the mud mad kit super cheap and converted it to a Donkey Kong-mobile I need to get around to finishing it actually. | But It's a fun chassis for sure and I keep meaning to pick-up the Lunchbox version and hop-it-up a bit.

I’m very glad you freed it from the box @2Dover3D. Such a great kit and you’ve absolutely nailed it.

Love this! Great stuff.

Very, very cool @Yoshimitsu

If my zenmarket experience is anything to go by then yes and no. Yes, because you find stuff you thought was no longer available. No, for obvious reasons $$$

That yellow monster is ridiculous and crazy in the best way possible! Would love to see more pictures. Oh, and looking forward to your next project!
