Default Beauty and the Beast....

Just got bored and decided to tale some new pics. I tried to get rid of the "fake chrome' look of the Nylints wheels. I used an old technique i learned from my plastic models building days. I gave them weathered (slightly) effect along with some diluted black paint to bring up the deyalis of the wheels. This gets rid of the plasticly look of the wheels and makes them look more like true aluminum. I think they came out looking good until i get some moabs.










The Beauty maxx was a bucket of bolts and parts I got at Ebay. I slowly put it back together in the course of almost three years!! LOL!! I was just out of my Neurology training and was basically broke! LOL! Anyways I thought I share thiese pics! Im having a lot of fun with the crawling Beast!! I think I might be hooked!!
