So, What Have You Done Today?

[Grumpy pants]

I've got as far as I can with my Silver Hilux, I need some soldering done to get it running now.

I'll pop round to my father in law and have a brew and get it sorted soon hopefully.

I had an hour after work tonight and I tidied up my garage/Tamiya mess and I started to put back together my blue Hilux.

Prepped & primered my re-re Sand Scorcher body and played around with some wheels:

[SteveU30]

Looks more like a Street Scorcher with the body sat on the rims like that, I like it!

[Grumpy pants]

Ye Ha sold 2 handsets and a few other bits.

Only 6 chargers and 21 handsets left to go!

[XV Pilot]

Fitted a functional spare wheel and roofrack to my spare Pajero shell:

Fitting them was a lot easier than anticipated. The Junfac spare wheel mount came with a little paper template that showed exactly where to drill the mounting hole for perfect alignment. The roof rack was a little trickier, but following my grandfather's advice of "measure thrice, measure again, then reach for the drill", I managed to get it spot-on.

Now to make up some scale bungee cords, mount the luggage and other accessories, and take some posed scale photos with it on the chassis!

[Grumpy pants]

Just unpacked and checked over my TA03RS Porsche, I'm happy.

Wheels are toast and the shell is no good to me, but other than that all good.

I've put my Rally Legends rims on I'll give it a test run sometime soon.

Cut out and fitted all the plywood bits together for a LCM 3 landing craft I'm making for 1/16 Sherman.

Nice cheap build for a change, so far it's only cost me £6.80 for a sheet of plywood! Everything else was in my scraps pile.

Started detailing my Lancia 037 shell:

Also put some stickers on my re-re scorcher shell:

[Grastens]

Both shells look fabulous, Steve! I assume you ended up hand-painting the black details on the 037?

[SteveU30]

I did although I masked off the window rubbers which went a bit wrong as the paint bled but I managed to rescue it. Just need to touch it up in a couple of spots, then paint the silver details and it'll be ready for decals.

Took the Nicchimo pan car apart for cleaning - turned out to be just a little dust, nothing else. Reassembled, regreased and now sporting a 2.4GHz RX and a Traxxas XL2.5 ESC. Assuming the wheels turn tomorrow, and the new Tamtech wheels fit (when they arrive from Honkers) then I'll be ordering the Porsche 935 body to finish this one off.

[Daves956]

I saw an ad on the local sales board that got me to thinking. How low would the price have to be that you couldn't find a reason not to go for it? Other than free anyway.

It's missing the front bumper and a few nitro pieces but I won't be going nitro with it.

Got my Exo back up and running;

Now has a waterproof combo, 17/48 gearing and a much stiffer set up all round as in standard form these a really soft and quite slow.

It has plenty of steam in the top end now but after only 5 mins of fun the motor moved of the spur, ergh. Once set up properly it should be a fun runner

Aesthetics wise i feel less is more on these.

Cheers

[Tamiya Era]

Bought sone more vuntage parts

I took a crawler, bike and the double black out to a friends house. I didn't build that truck for myself so now it's finally at it's new home. We had a great time

Hey! He copied the look of your model for his 1:1!

[BangkokBulldog]

Got the first colour onto the Sand Scorcher body eventually after a couple of days of wet flatting out the moulding lines and priming. Next is the masking, which is always lots of fun

Time for beers now!

Cheers,

Steve

[SteveU30]

Looks good so far!
