What chassis did you use? Looks really scaled and very nice details.

Thanks. It's the Rochobby Willys Jeep in 1:6 scale.

@Sayer, You have some old school transformers on that top shelf!  I have a couple new ones at my desk, and when I get my kid over to my parents place I see some of my original 80's transformers.  It really makes you appreciate how poseable and still transformable the new ones are!  On the Tamiya side, how did you get the antlers onto the Blackfoot? :P

These are great. I have one with loads of  scale bits on it. What wheels are the they seem to fit well and probably have better grip than the stock ones?

Yes it's a great car. Unfortunately I've broke a steering arm yesterday so I have to wait for the spare part. Maybe the weather was too cold for the plastic. The grip is far better with these wider tires. They are RC4WD Attitude M/T 1.9 mounted on 2.2 China beadlock wheels. The foams are a tad to wide, 4-5 mm less would be perfect. But I wasn't brave enough to cut them yet.

now swapped for an old photo… which I should have just done in the first place 🤦‍♂️

Thanks!  It’s an RTR so the. bumpers came that way.  I just wired up the rear lights and scribbled parting lines with a Sharpie.

Thanks @Nicadraus! This F1 shell is inspired by the Minardi M189

Working on the driver now. I'll then build the F104 Pro II chassis, probably setup with the highest road clearance to tolerate street use. I hope the exposed gears don't get chewed and the carbon belly all scratched.

How do you make the picture resemble a Tamiya stock photo? What editing softwares do you use? Absolutely stunning. :)

Thanks but no special magic tricks, just nice light that day! I shot with my phone but did play around with levels a little. The logos are added in Photoshop.

@Nicadraus Your WO is turning out real nice.  :D   The CF accompanies the blue very well.   Nice work.  Looking forward to the finished car!

These look awesome @Busdriver, and also I love that you have clearly booted the wife out of bed in favour of sleeping next to some RC's!😂
