I replied to you from the blog but I have no PM from you on Tamiyabase.

Really? Will go check the blog right away. Have a good Tuesday!

You too buddy

Waiting my bodies, I ended my fire truck american la france by trumpeter scale.

Last Friday night I got new shoes ready for the 1984 FAV. I am extremely disappointed with the color of the re-released wheels. It is different from the original ones. Unfortunately I ruined one of the original front wheels with some chemical stuff and I had no other chance than just turn to re-re wheels Can't these guys do anything right anymore!

When I restored this Light Assault Vehicle I did some plast. surgery to the guy to make a Chuck Norris, just like in "Delta Force", the movie Oh, and that's original dust not weathering of any sort, haha.



ALSO, just now I got the nasty red enamel off of the Kyosho Hi-Rider Vette with a overnight brake fluid treatment. Took all of the color AND the chrome, too I'll probably have to paint it but I doubt it will look perfect now...







And now I am back to the bench as I will get some putty over my Sand Scorcher project #2.
You see there is two or three scratches I need to repair in it!



You all have a good week!

I have same oil shocks on my hornet than on your FAV.
Nice work on Chuck

Thanks, Florian!

The front shocks were there when I got the buggy almost a decade ago. It was a total disaster... so much work to get it where it is now but I am finally getting the correct looks and condition for a 30+ y.o. RC car. By the way, I now have for sale a vintage Graupner buggy that also has those front shocks front.

Also, good job on that Firetruck. I see you are into static models. Do you prefer them over the large 1:10 / 1:12 scale of RC vehicles?

Thank you. I like statics because they are cheaper and smaller than rcs. And I can build nice cars.

Hi all I recently picked up this lot of HSII parts and a nice SS body set to make up another Hybrid beauty to join the Dark shot After sorting out the parts I spent today out in the workshop and came up with this

I love that Andy.
