Fu's SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 build

[MikeFu]

Only got into RC earlier this year and recently purchased my third RC, Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6 kit. This is the first kit I've purchased and wasn't sure if I was getting in over my head or not.

After a few weekends working on it I'm at the point where I'm just waiting on my beadlocks and lexan scissors so I can begin painting. Plan is to mask off and paint the interior black and the rest of the body blue. Going to be brush painting the body since I don't have anywhere with the damp weather now to spray it. Just hoping I can get the coat thick enough.

I've really enjoyed building this kit and hope to build another at sooner point. First though I plan to upgrade some of the key pieces of this kit and add some accessories.

Here is a Google Photo's album of my progress so far. https://goo.gl/photos/QjopjKZs32eSj6Po6

I have brushed a few bodies, when I first started in the hobby, the results are usually nice. The same principals apply though, multiple light coats until the paint is opaque. I currently spray paint the bodies in my home, back room, open windows, contained in a large cardboard box.

It hovers near 0 C here now and I don't think opening the windows is a good idea. I'll try brush painting this one. Worse case I buy a new body in the spring to spray.

New beadlocks showed up today. Got them all mounted and installed.





Up next, paint the body.

Picked up a used Honcho body so I can use the truck while I work on painting the G6 body. Just need to get s spare tire for the rear.
