A Scorcher Built...

[Geronimooo]

Thanks! Allready working on a better camera rig so the onboard footage will be less bumpy.

@gti mad man: it's not that hard. Just pick a colour you like and paint the whole figure. That's youre base colour.

When it's dry you mix a bit of black with some new base color and a lot of water and repaint the figure. When it's almost dry,

gently wipe most of the paint of the figure. The deeper parts will stay on so now you have created the shadowparts!

For the highlights you will have to use a technique that's called "drybrushing". Just mix a bit of white with the base colour (no water!)

Put some of the paint on a (short) brush and wipe of most of the paint on a tissue. With this brush you gently touch the higher parts

of the figure. Tadaaa, you have created the highlights!

Now walk to the fridge and get yourself a beer, you've deserved it

that video is fantastic

i already have a buggy champ, and i was not too fussed about getting a scorcher, because of the price and the fact that i had not long ago built an SRB from new.

now, thanks to this thread, i have an itch that only a sand scorcher can scratch.

yours looks sooo good. great job!

Nice vid and excellent write up of your build. Well done! Makes me wish I'd gotten my SRB's finished... It's taking me ages but I'm working on 'em!
