[Bowling Ball]

ah some air movement there at last.

I'll make a suggestion, You might not like it -
Cut out the front window and the rear indent infront of the rear body pin post.

It will remove all the hot air rising into the top of the body canopy.

Is there anywhere for the air to escape from those in-ports you opened?

BB !amazed

[Maxd out]

Very good idea & yes made some hles in the rear of the shell,i dont think ill have any robs running a stock in her @ the interclub with shannon @ the Wheel ;)

[James]

[BALISTC]

Awesome!

A good mate of mine has a Paasch air brush and I give him my shells to practise on...he has air brushed about 5 or 6 of my shells and he is getting better and better.

I'll wait til I get my Chev Silverado Mini-T shell back, and I'll post it up here to see what you guys think. I dont know how much he charges (all my shells were done free, as practise), but I'm sure he'll be very competitive ;)

[Maxd out]

This paint job was created ,like the mini t with dish washing liquid & a suringe a very cool effect.

[KingBob]

Hey Maxd Out, can you send me Jon's phone number? He was meant to be looking into a compressor for me. Mine tends to pulse rather than provide a constant air pressure.

[Maxd out]

NICE CROME 8)

the dishwashing detergent technique reminded me of something i saw on cruizin many yrs ago. they went to a scale model car show at cannington and this one guy had an awesome collection of custom hotrods. 1:24 scale. they then went on to do a demo ...so if i remeber correctly:

submerge the body in a tub of water. possibly need some type of weights and a wire rig or something to pull it back up and out. then spray the paint onto the water. it should sit on top in a thin film. u can spray diff colors and let em run together or do fades and whatnot. then slowly pull the body out and voila!

there may have been more to this technique but like i sed...was many yrs ago. im sure there r details about it somewhere on the web for those with mad l33t googling skillz0r. and lexcen body may be harder to do coz u paint inside and it would act like a bucket pulling up water with u. ok enough rambling. just thought someone might like to try it.

[KingBob]

You'd need holes in the body, body mounts/aerial etc first so the water could drain out. And you couldn't paint a whole body that way, it wouldn't cover the sides properly. Would maybe work for just individual details, lines/splatters etc. Personally i think it sounds risky and wouldn't try it

[cray-]

worked a treat on plastic models. coz the paint becomes like a film...as u pull up...the roof takes the paint and pulls in more from the sides that kinda droops down. think of it like putting a boidy under glad wrap and pulling up....but i can see how this would be a problem for an inverted rc shell....oh well. still an intresting idea.

[KingBob]

haha, knowing maxd out, if he had a body like that, he'd go buy an inferno to use it on!

I think there are 2 infernos at perth hobby centre, the 777, and the kanai edition. Go buy one then get Mike to paint it up!

[Maxd out]

No i wish it was mine ,Joker own's this one,sponsored by Seb lucky bastard.These new flame bodies r not cheap,how bad do u wont 1 :?

[Maxd out]

Johnathon shell,a mere $180.00 including the shell.With the new flame look.A sure concoarse winner .

[Maxd out]

[Maxd out]
