Super vanquish
Tamiya Era
That is my favourite buggy and the bes
t version I have ever seen. I am having no luck trying to buy one. getting very frustrated, one day I hope!
Why is this buggy so underrated?, maybe if kit came with hicap dampers people would rate with avante and egress.

I am so jealous, I was going to ask to buy it but ' definitely a keeper' tells me I am out of luck. my search goes on. this is one kit I would part ex my top force evo for.

All good things are three

Sometimes it makes me sad looking at showrooms. I picked up a mint vintage rally 037 out the classified ads and the ta03rs for no money as part of a collection and sold both. Looking at this makes me regret that. This body us beautiful. I bet that was a powerful car irl.

Finished and detailed bruiser in ford sierra beige
xray mark
Thanks for the compliments. I also paint warhammer space marines so if it anyone wants to know how to easily paint a face just go in games workshop and buy Cadian flesh tone and reikland flesh shade. Just paint in the flesh colour, then cover in the wash then go over the high points of the face with flesh tone again such as cheekbones and nose and chin, this leaves shadows in the recesses and looks quite good for very little effort, also when doing pupil and iris don't use brushes, just do a dab of paint with a broken tooth pick or something then a smaller dab with the point of the pick for the pupil. When doing hair, paint one colour then get another colour on a fat brush, wipe off the paint on a tissue then briskly tickle the hair with the dry brush to cover raised points on hair. Very basic techniques for a pleasing result. Same shade and drybrush technique can be used on overalls.

Two speed controls are better than one
Pintopower
I always think it's better when people Explain the stories hind their cars. Yours was just the right amount of text. Also it's nice that your family all mess about with this great toy. I am gonna have to pick up a grasshopper now. This car is amazing in the fact that it's the cheapest but has more character/ fun factor than some expensive models

The only non tamiya rerelease that i have any interest in. Love the youtube vids of dads and their some running round in Bermuda shorts frantically charging in- cads that make 5.1 minutes runtime and skimming motors every race!. I bet they had fun tho , get it built.

After 6 years the mud blaster gets a run
RallyeBaz
Did not know you had a mud blaster, classic truck from my youth. Good to see one actually do what it was intended for. I'm not sure about the crawler motor in a 2wd truck, you need a fast motor to get a run up for the hills and puddles!. One thing i do wonder looking at these pics what an mb would look like with medium size wheels ala hilux etc, could be quite interesting? But i suppose that would make it a brat!?

Just a quick update... Kontemax, this was my second car after a thundershot!.
I noticed the front spring perches were incorrect and came on the same sprue as the bumpers so i bought them. The car looks like 95% new build now!.
