Where did you get these from? Have you built them yet?

Got the Grasshopper and Hornet from Jadlam for £85 each and the Frog from Time Tunnel for £100. Won't be building them any time soon as have other builds on the go.

A little ultrasonic cleaner.

A larger one to fit a chassis in will follow at some point.

The small one will stop me stagnating for now as have a number of fiddly parts and fasteners to clean.

Bonus is I told my wife it cleans jewellery, so she has run a few cycles through it already B)

The Outrage body and Syncro transmitter came in for my Ultima Pro rebuild. These should be the last pieces needed for the foreseeable future.

A pair of Futaba compatible HPI RF-11 receivers and a set of 1mm, 2mm and 4mm, Molotow Liquid Chrome pens.

The pens came with a whole load of documentation and colour charts that I haven't pictured, as well as the bunch of stickers and other stuff seen in the case with the pens.

Can I ask where you got the pens? I have a 2mm but it's not great for detail work, whilst I could also use a 4mm for colouring / touching-in wheel rims!

Although my postman seems to have gone AWOL :(

I irdered them from eBay as the set of 3. I did see individual pens on there as well.

I would say its more a second shell destroyer.

The first shell looks ok from thr fresh can looks ok. Then the can seems to turn itself into a speckly horrible mess overnight so on the next shell you go to paint it looks terrible.

Loving the WR01 trucks atm. To that end I won a Twin Detonator on eBay yesterday. Not sure how long it’ll be en route with covid 19 lockdown. I’d rather have the Wild Dagger though!;)

Well supposed to have received my super astute but the dpd driver decided to not bother knocking or ringing the BIG door bell with the camera on it right in front of his face and just put the "oh no we missed you" card through the door instead:angry::angry: so who knows when I'll receive it because if he's not bothering to let me know when he's at the door it's just going to be a guesstimate!

Appreciate the advice, I’ve never used it before. For what reason? I was just going to do the windows on my mustang!

i have tryed to use this on a few shells and every time it has ruined them the first was a shell for my t-maxx then a mini shell witch if i remember it "melted" the paint on the shell and then another i can't remember for some reason so i steer clear of it know as well as tamiya paint in general.

as i have put above 

i was planing on using it on the window of my grand hauler but i remember'd what it had done in the past so i go hold of some 1.1 window tint and used that instead and it came out perfect as you can see the diff between the 2 below

Glad you got them! 😎 Just stand in your driveway and potter around! Just don't roll it down the road somewhere! 😄

We've also had almost 100mm (~4 inches) of rain in the last couple of days, so everything is just muddy at the moment anyway!

My next build eventually arrived after its journey around with the courier for a few days (he could have just rang the bell on the first day saved him coming back!)
