wow thats a nice build. i think it looks great, it looks much better with the bobbed bed. if they made some realistic scaler tires for the micro that thing would look like a 1:1 on the rocks. good work |

Man i love the search button : PACTRA/TESTORS/TAMIYA are basically the same paint made by the same manufacturer but labeled as separate entities. These are lacquer-based paints. They stink to high heaven, especially when you thin them down. Thinning these paints are a must! Get an empty bottle like the one they come in and fill half with paint, and fill the rest with lacquer thinner. If you shoot the paint straight from the bottle, you will get "cobwebs" (notice the make-up brush in my kit... great for removal of accidental cobwebs). The paint comes out of the brush ok, but you will notice it start to get stringy on you. IMO, you get better results with lacquer paints than you do with Faskolor. You can draw much thinner lines, giving you more room for detail work, plus you only have to shoot the paint at 12– 15 pounds of pressure. Cleanup is a bit nastier, since you have to use lacquer thinner, but the finished product is much better and stronger as far as chipping and peeling are concerned. so glad this is a sticky.

Looks great murdock! The bobbed bed definitely makes it look nicer and interesting paint scheme! May paint my "beadlock rings" white so it fits nicer, or chrome, should look great though! Nice job! |

| almost finished.
thanks guys! i'm very close to satisfied so i gave it the test run and i HAVE to do something with the front three link, its crap, other than that i had to re-glue the dash in and it ran up onto the windsheild. DOH! so now it looks like im blasting the a.c. through the defrost vents lol i cant believe i did that. oh well here's some pics. next i'm gonna make little detail stickers for it, and fender wells so you can't see the cab from out side anymore. |
