Newsh 111 Posted January 7, 2017 Ever since it hit the shops in 1991, I wanted a Bullhead. I never got one as a kid, but now I'm a grown adult/big kid I've finally got myself one, albeit the re-released version. I've had it a while, but believe it or not only finshed the build over the Christmas holidays. I didn't manage to get many buld pics at all, but i did get some while painting the shell. At last! Painting - primer coat then a few light coats of Tamiya Metallic Blue, then Tamiya Clear. This is the only build picture I managed to get (spot the little helper) And the finished article. Fully ball-raced and painted box art. The only difference is that I bought an extra flag as I always wanted two when i was a kid. This thing is a beast. Took it outside for some shots, although the light makes it look like a flat blue even though its quite shiny in the flesh Won't be running this near any tarmac, if i take it out it will be soft dirt or a beach - frightened of rolling it and trashing the body. Might have to get a spare shell Cheers 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IBIFTKH 1369 Posted January 8, 2017 Perfect! Great finish on the paint, sets it off a treat. The second flag is a nice touch too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason1145 3984 Posted January 9, 2017 Nice job, what primer and clear coat did you use? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newsh 111 Posted January 9, 2017 I actually used Games Workshop Corax White for the primer as I'd ran out of fine surface primer, and then after a few coats of the Tamiya Metallic Blue, I used Tamiya Clear as a clear coat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
