Thanks for posting Dariush. Hope it went as well as it looked.
Glad you liked it

What? Where?
 

Couple of shells for another friend. YZ-2 and TLR
Design spec was "desert style camouflage with his name down side in bright iridescent / pearlescent"
Not tried anything like this before, but came out nicely. Not so good at full free hand design and painting, but the camo looks ok, so just to do some matching wings then they can be returned

Just have to try and find them now..

what where
 

they look awesome chris

Glad you like them 😀

Another one finished this evening

Down came the rain...
 

Well, I had intended to get some gardening done while my wife is away, but the thunder has put paid to that...

So decided to paint a shell. Inspired by Mr Andy Shilly shells, although not to his standards :thumbsup:

Will give it a run out tomorrow at Manor I think

Nice new shell Chris :thumbsup:

Looks good that fella :)

One tip I could give you is possibly thin the paint a bit more and really lower the pressure for the fades. Fading black to white is a nightmare and you only need a 'sniff' of black as it always looks more solid from the outside then from the inside when you are painting. I still put too much back down - then kick myself for not trusting myself with a lighter layer.

Also - thinner paints and lower pressure = nice fades.

Lastly :)
Buy some of Jon's RCS Body Prep - never paint a fade without using it first - it's an anti static spray that stops spray / mist adhering to the shell through static :) It's awesome.

Great tips. Cheers.
And just a quiz, can you tell which shells of yours were my inspiration 😀

Dex410v4
 

For a friend - Dex410v4 "box art" (well, nearly!!)

Interesting to do them - Not done a Durango before and wonder if the Lexan is a slightly different spec to other Lexan as the liquid mask stuck like glue. Wouldn't peel in nice easy pieces like normal :eh?:

looking great, thanks :)

Thanks for posting the pics. Glad you like it.

Chris

Couple more for a friend

Another shell for a friend. Another coat of LM needed I think as it didn't strip easily leading to some "not too clean" lines. Looks ok unless close up...

And now Santa has done his stuff, here are a couple more I painted on his behalf

Bit rusty, but fancied a new shell for today. No close ups please 😀

Very nice

Sadly, daughters have decided that Elsa and Anna are a "bit last season" so want new shells. One down, exactly how I was instructed...
Always important to keep the customer satisfied :)

Number 2 now completed...

And finally, "daddy, can I have a Pokemon one being driven by a Pokemon creature?"
I'll see what I can do...

Smile 😀 Group photo time

I suppose he will be hoping this is one Pokemon you can't catch on track.

Great work - loving the flower scheme too.

Let's hope his driving doesn't take after me then. I come from the distinctly slow and steady brigade 😀

Cheers for comments.

Couple of shells for Mr L
Original RC10 and latest B6

Nice work Chris. hopefully see them in the flesh soon.

Busy weekend. 3 more ready for sending - hope you like them Daz

Great job Chris thanks a lot :) ready to hit the track on Sunday

Looking good 😀 Make sure you don't crash 😂

Looking good 😀 Make sure you don't crash 😂

Haha can't guarantee that :)

Another go for Alan
 

Lines a bit cleaner this time. Approached it in a different way - seemed to work better

They look very nice Chris...👍...as you say, much sharper than the originals....but they were still good..so these are excellent.. 👏😃 Can't wait..hope we make a meeting next week in spite of the cyclists..!
Many thanks....:thumbsup:

Are they your shells Alan?

They look fantastic Chris :thumbsup:

Yes Jim all mine...thanks to Chris..👍

Cheers Mate. Not seen you for a while - hope all well? Are you going on Monday?

All is well thanks Chris. How about yourself?

I can't make it on Monday. I managed to get a pass out last Sunday on the proviso I had this weekend off :thumbdown:

I'm building a new Tamiya Hotshot for a vintage heat at cully. You and Alan should try to bring your classics along.

Jim.....I rebuilt a Hotshot couple of years back because I had happy memories of one being good indoors back in the day. I ran it at a Batley Xmas meeting, it was terrible..:lol:...probably not set up right and with a slow, brushed motor.! It's hiding in the loft now..:cry: When I tried the Tamiya Topforce a couple of years before that, it was much better..! That's also in the loft.!
If you want to run vintage, can't beat the RC10....:lol:
Not a bad idea about Cully though..
