Oh wow that looks cool. I might steal this idea.

These were done in Corsa Grey and Pure Orange. The grey/blue is backed in white then silver and is probably not quite blue enough.

That looks so cool! I’d love enough garden/land to lay out a track.

TD-4 Super Vajra!

Not a personal livery by a long shot but I do like the way cars with the same paint scheme look together. This is from when my wife brought me a couple of TT-02s and I decided to try and make them look like a pair. The Ford GT shel has subsequently been raced and doesn’t look quite so pretty anymore.

I run everything and don’t fully understand the shelf queen thing. This is caveated by the fact that the amount of cars I now have means not everything gets a run regularly. I do like that the hobby contains these multitudes and that things I don’t get, like shelf queens and crawling, are huge parts of the same pastime.

That is such a beautiful car and a great take on the TD4. I like the spotlights! I think they give a nice focal point at the front and help compensate for the kits lack of a bumper.

Oohh. I should caveat my advice to say that I’ve not driven a TT-02 in any setting with more than a Sport/GT Tune motor.

Car park blasting is fine with the standard open diffs. Front spool and stiff rear diff is great on a track but I’ve never missed them out in the open.

Blimey! That sentence didn’t look filthy before the *s.

I never have an issue driving a car after building it and my Egress has seen a couple of scrapes over its dozen or so runs. It seems to be pretty sturdy, all things considered. My issue comes with actually starting the build. It took ages to pluck up the courage to break the blister plastic on the Egress. I spent even longer just looking at the body shell before I could make a cut. My Optima is, if anything, even more intimidating! I think, with me, it’s almost like stage ****ht. I know what to do, I’m not bad at it, but I so want it to be perfect (both the build and the build experience) and I’m anxious it won’t be. After all that angst I’m surprisingly sanguine about the occasional barrel roll!

I’m not sure if this should count but somebody on Bluesky pointed out that the T-800 from the first Terminator film has part of the Sand Scorcher stuck in the side of his head.

I really enjoy doing them but they just take up so much time. I’m quite lucky if I get a day every month to build, tinker or paint at the moment so the chronicling of everything has taken a back seat.

Since my accident I’ve entirely lost my sense of humour. I’m also now completely unable to judge the inherent worth of anything… Doctors say I’m serious but not critical!

Good god on high!! That’s beautiful.
