    Amazing how little there is. It is like skill level zero.

    It’s headed to the shelf when done.

    Looks great “egg”.

    OK, so now we all want to know what’s next.

    People think crack cocaine is bad for you until they discover this.

    Lol. I'm currently painting the Team Associated RC10GT. After that it will be the Blackfoot body.

    I botched the body on the rc10gt so I moved on to the Tamiya blackfoot body. Ill order another body for the rc10gt and do better...hopefully.

    The blackfoot body is a hard shell thats painted on the outside vs the clear polycarbonate bodies you paint on the inside. I'll attach all the chrome and windows this weekend.
