It' quite a long time now that my Losi MRC is left aside… since I'm in a scale phase it doesn't interest me that much anymore. I also have a Lunchbox body wich needs to be painted… Put the 2 together and I have my winter project. - - - - - - Episode 1 - - - - - - I want to make it rusty… I think it's a model from 1977… After almost 30 of heavy service it deserves rust |

Wow! To be honest, by the first pics I thought you had way overdone the rust, but once it all came together, and looks quite realistic. I think it looks great! Love the UPS theme. Way to do something out of the ordinary! Now get to work on those shiny wheels and undercarriage.........

WOW! That looks fantastic! I was very sceptical in the early pictures but the last set of pictures are great. Love it.

You should put a "free candy" sticker on it for the kids. Love the build so far, creeper vans rock!

Nice work! The shallow depth of field makes it look like its a micro and not a mini. What is up with the wheels without tires? |

Very nice work! I think the UPS stuff needs to be weathered some, or more. The lettering still looks years younger than the van itself. Great attention to detail though and very realistic looking. |

Absolutely fantastic, great work. Any plans to give the wheels that weather and rusted look? |
