Default Grappler body I painted for my buddy.....

I just got through painting this one for my friend Jeff. The crawler it is sitting on is actually mine, but he wanted to see it mocked up. First body I have painted in months. I am shaking the rust off, but it turned out nice.




What do you think?

Looks really good, I just don't like when the paint covers the windows. They should remain clear - personal preference I suppose...

Thanks everybody! I have been painting lexan bodies for about 9 months now and keep improving as I go. As far as the paint on the windows, I wanted it to look like the pint was poured over the cab if you know what I mean. And looking at all the bodies I have painted, about 85% of them have some kind of paint effect on the windows. It's sorta like my Trademark.
BTW: My Revo is featured in the Reader's Rides in the October 08 issue of RC Car Action (came in the mail just yesterday, lol). I painted it and here is a link to some more I have done.

I believe I have seen your work on the CFX Paintworks site correct?

Very impressive anyway.

Yeah, I have won a couple of the amateur comps they have. I think the next one I enter I will have to enter as a pro though. Those guys are REALLY good.
