Re: Sand Scorcher Crawler - Another Bug
 

Thanks! And just wait. More to come.

Re: Sand Scorcher Crawler - Another Bug
 

I agree, the hubcaps'll look great with the Bug "thumbsup"

Testing. Here's the first rough coat.

A bit more progress. Got some primer on the body. Waiting for it to warm up so I can paint. Version 6 of the mirror bracket seems to be workable so I'll whip up some PTEG ones when I get a part for my 3D printer tomorrow.

Looking good!

Up until you said primer I thought that was the final color which I like, but I suppose it doesn't really suit the vibrant look of the wheels and tires so much.

Re: Sand Scorcher Crawler - Another Bug
 

I actually have a colour of paint very similar to the primer but didn't like how it looked on the wheels. If I'd left the wheels black this would've looked OK. I also thought of pure rust. We'll see how it goes after it gets beat up a bit. But for now it's going to be black.

Got a couple of coats of Tamiya semi-gloss black paint on this afternoon. Beats a day at work anytime, and I like my job. Here's a sneak peak. Got some plans for some stickers as well.

Played with some more stickers. Have to look closely at the bottom of the doors. Tried some red paint on the mirror bracket. Looks OK I think, but I still need to print some better ones.

Re: Sand Scorcher Crawler - Another Bug
 

Looking good! Did you make the stickers?
Flat four, it really seems more round-ish to me.

Pardon my poor humor :badger:

Re: Sand Scorcher Crawler - Another Bug
 

Bahaha! Sorry, couldn’t help myself. And yeah, I made the stickers. About 5 minutes in Adobe Illustrator and five minutes to cut them out on my wife’s Silhouette Cameo cutter. I made the one below last week. It’s on a cabinet door in my shop.

Hub cap looks spot on. Great job!

Re: Sand Scorcher Crawler - Another Bug
 

Thanks guys. Robbark, I suppose you could put the motor in the rear, you'd need your battery in the front to balance it out somewhat.

Re: Sand Scorcher Crawler - Another Bug
 

That's kinda what I was thinking. Cheers for your help!!
