Won't work, customs have not enough to do where I live. So anything bigger than an stepscrew gets stuck.

well that stinks. I got mine in 4 days to Florida

I believe that I now have a completed and useable Sand Scorcher, with working shocks and Ali chassis.

Needs a test run, but I'm feeling quite excited about it.

I now have 9 models that are fully operational and 2 more that are very close to being added to this tally.

Which would be just over half that work....now that's quite exciting, to me anyway.

Still too many though, a head count today made 20.

I really wanted to have about 12 in total, then it crept up a bit and then a bit more, you all know how it is.

Applied finishing touches to the celica body I've been putting together for a friend (he's got a 1:1 version). Pretty happy with the result, very labor intensive but definitely worthwhile.

How nice is that?

Gonna send you some of my bodies to do

And I added my TB02 Porsche to my Showroom, last one to go in for a while ; )

What with the upcoming re-release I figured I better finish this project - which I started years ago.

[Dojo Dave]

Well I built a little nostalgia today, yesterday was 16 year wedding anniversary, and upon finishing this bad boy

My wife exclaimed that pretty cool can I drive it when it's done..... she's gonna pick out a barbie head tomorrow. Looks like I have to order another one for me..... that's if she's serious about the Barbie!

[Dojo Dave]

Also taped off and painted the TA 06 scion or Toyota 86

All that tape just to peal it off again

[Dojo Dave]

Decals next.

[Dojo Dave]

Sods law take all the masking off and realized I forgot to spray the smoked windows. Other than that only as few little blemishes. Fairly happy and cousin will be chuffed...

[Grumpy pants]

I've started to clean up my Red Hilux and fit my spare SRB shocks to it and try out the old 6v batteries.

It's really only needs fettling and setting up, but I'm enjoying it.

That was difficult with so many stickers!!

Nice picture,

Not RC but did Ben Nevis yesterday... paying for it today both in sunburn and legs that don't work.

Also, almost done the Honda city turbo/wheeler. Just waiting on Willy drying

Nice little build, enjoyed

[waterbok]

Mmm looks there will be loads of gunmetal Willy's, nice pic of the highlands, that must have been one of the rare days without rain or fog on cloudy head.

[Axeboy]

Well, in my usual manner of using stuff up, I went for Seat Leon "Monsoon Grey"

[waterbok]

has a nice excotic ring to it 'Monsoon' grey.

[ChrisRx718]

I really want a wheeler, had this brainstorm the other day that I could use my spare decal sheet from my Super Autobacs NSX and paint it a suitable fluorescent red...

Time, money and other projects are in the way of that though

[Grastens]

I liked the above post for the idea of a Super Autobacs Wheeler, not because there are obstacles... Go for it - when you can! And you will have at least one very interested follower if you have a build thread going

In the meantime, I bought supplies for tire gluing and decal application:

This precludes the possibility that I have glued tires, but have not yet started on the decals. My obstacles are exams!

Putzing around with my TA03F PRO shelf queen, wanted to see what the 458 would look like with mesh wheels. I kind of like it..

[Axeboy]

Heh, typical car manufacturer chat. Its grey

But, it worked on me anyway

[GregM]

Finished a driver figure, started the next ones.

Painted the body of the Mini Cooper S 2006 using metallic blue with silver as backing. Still need the roof to be painted, then overspray film removed and decals to be applied. The chassis is already assembled. This car be given to my better half.

Awsome day today, a couple of solid hours tinkering with my Hilux and Touring cars on T.V at Donnington.

[Dojo Dave]

Stuck into decals on the TA 06, what a pain in the rear...

Had some bleeding under the masking when I did the black. Bit it will work...he likes it so far and as far as I'm aware I'm doing this for free... unless he throws me a token gesture....it quite the build

And still got these to do....ugh

Paintball today to release so pent up energy...then back to the project table... never seems to end...a blessing I guess lol
