Nice. If you are not too precious about the old wheels, why don't you remove the centres and fit them into the new ally rims?


I have a cunning (and much less invasive) plan ;)

My "cunning plan" was just to make transfers of the original wheels :)

Chassis s very simple, I still have to wire & fit the battery box & MSC, but it's basically done :)

Very nicely done JR, the wheel decals are certainly cunning :y: The body looks excellent on there to, took me a few looks to notice the clear bumper ;) Top job :)

Top job,how did you make the transfers?


- Take photo
- fiddle with it in Paint Shop Pro
- print on transparent inkjet waterslide transfer paper
- clearcoat, e.g. Tamiya X-22 Clear
- punch out centres, cut around outsides, soak in water & apply
- use Decalfix to seal edges

:)

I see,i've already bought some transer slide paper for a few jobs i have in mind but i really need to get to grips with a paintshop program,i find that part of the job very tedious and frustrating!

Wow - I thought you were going to make moulds of the wheels or something, but those transfers are really effective!
