There must be something wrong with your baby if it's making poop that colour...

For the extra $30 over the Tf2 and G2 kits I can totally see it justified. The body details, bumpers, integrated sliders/body mount, etc. This kit is freaking awesome and a very detailed. I can see these selling like hot cakes!

Kale...it's a potent plant lol.

Got the truck to roller status last night...now it's time to play with the jewel of the kit (the BA FJ body)

Pics coming soon..

Getting an 1/8 scale vibe from this truck...

[imthatguy]

That's good. Because that's how big it is.

[Crawlorado719]

Thank you sweet baby Jesus for the LHS having TamiyaUSA paint in the almost exact color I wanted. Yes I got Tamiya fine primer as well.

[Crawlorado719]

Topper still needs some green...but it's coming along good.

[northernerbill]

That is a nice green, perfect!

Ditto, perfect color selection. Looks great with that wheel / tire choice as well.

Thanks! It was a gamble on the color. I've figured out the color on the can cap is usually a little darker then when it's sprayed.

Thanks! I wanted to do something different wheels wise..and these seemed like a good fit and finish. Also going for the new factory fresh look, and not old clapped out look.

Soooo, I liked your latest rover build. However, since I'm a cruiser head, I'm enjoying this a little more. Looking good so far!

[H2Micr0]

Sooo very jealous!!!!!!

It looks awesome in that color! It would be kinda cool to shave off the molded hood hold downs and make real ones from aluminum or brass. just a thought

That would be pretty trick..maybe something to do down the road. Thanks, I'm really liking the color more and more.


Got the paint pretty much done. Now the fun of tedious details...

Looks good. That's closer to Toyota's Rustic Green or Deep Green than it is Nebula, nice nonetheless. Also, top tip, the smaller tail lights are reflectors and are red, not orange.

Thanks man! On the tail lights I beg to differ...

[imthatguy]

Sorry, but your picture is showing the reflection of the flash on the camera. They're red reflectors.
