Willy iine 18806 Posted December 30, 2021 Didn’t do much RC today, spent most of my day relaxing in my new music room. I did sand one of the last military themed Willy’s I will make today. He will be assigned to drive the XR311. I have no other plans to build another military vehicle for the time being. I will probably paint a civilian Willy to drive my upcoming new City Turbo, Bruiser, and maybe a CC02 down the road. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(orange is my favourite colour but because my son chose it for his I went another way!) Go easy on the kerbs, rocks, furniture etc... 😂 Cheers @BuggyDad, orange is one of my fav colours, plus I've gone a bit nuts on yellow on some of my other cars (and yellow isn't even particularly one of my fav colours, however it just looks so good with grey, be it light or dark grey it just works! And I do like a good grey!). So yeah orange is welcome here! Not sure how well the dye with hold up to scratches and knocks, but I'll soon find out as this car is destined to be a basher!

alvinlwh 5895 Posted December 30, 2021 Another well beyond reasonable finishing time at 0245. For the upcoming M-06 build. Finished the stickering of the NSU body. And finished the painting of the Ghia. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zealot 397 Posted December 30, 2021 @alvinlwh I bought one of those NSU's to get the M05 kit for a Mini build. I was just going to sell the body but they do look pretty good in the Jägermeister livery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got the NSU as the basher shell for the M-06 as I feel the Ghia is just too nice to crash in, and it has too many easy to break parts hanging off it. The NSU is more crash friendly, so to speak. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent stuff 👍🏻 And please tell me that was PS59 Dark Metallic Blue as I picked a can of that up on my last visit to a Hobby Shop...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it is... PS59 Dark Metallic blue. It's quite nice blue. It was initially targeted for something else, but for the something else, I decided to jump on translucent blue + silver, so it was left unused in my can storage. My son wanted blue, and he decided to go for this rather than the PS16, and I believe it was a perfect choice... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got one but I find it better and more balanced on auto paint tins when I'm doing hard bodies than on the smaller polycarb tins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silvertriple 3557 Posted December 30, 2021 Almost finished the M06-Giulia... (remains to cut some plain white vinyls for number plates) Our track tools are now ready for Jan 2nd indoor session. My son insisted I take some pictures with his Ford GT and share it. He his happy with the feedbacks. Thanks! ... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
