I give him credit for goin for it. Not a great execution but you have to start somewhere. As long as he is having fun with it then good for him.

It's like when you paint your very first lexan body. It usually looks like crap but you always learn from mistakes and Kudos for trying. That body is pretty brutal though........ |

'A' for effort (I would never knock anybody for trying) but it does look like something from the Simpsons! |

It kinda reminds me of the old tootsie toys (if anyone remembers them), but in r/c form. I think it's cool to watch but would get old quick.

great for a first time (hope it is at least!) can't knock him for trying, but he will learn alot from this. I wish I had the patience to work with styrene like that. If I could offer my two cents, I would make better, rounder wheel wells, and some sort of color, and makes it more unfinished looking.

Vast improvement from the 1st to second. Glad he's trying. On a different note, I would love to see the car Homer Simpson designed Or better yet, the Canyonero. So who's up to the challenge? http://pagesperso-orange.fr/Jas-n-Geoff/Geoff/homer.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...!Canyonero.JPG Last edited by takman; 12-23-2009 at 04:21 AM. |

The Canyonero would also be cool. As long as it isn't the F-series. Simpsons fans anywhere? | |
