Default Well, i never claimed to be good!

Looks good from far away! lol

This is the second body i have ever painted and the last one i did was in middle school and im 25 now so....been awhile. I blame the fact that i have the patience of a 5 year old

Looks good to me. I just did one last week, and the candy purple started off great and then all of a sudden started sputtering all over. Ruined my paint idea. So then my 5 year old patience kicked in and I just said screw it and hurried through it. Lots of mask bleeding occurred. lol

My next body will either be one solid color, or I will pay CrawlerGraphics to do a badazz one. My patience is so not there. Wonder how the heck I ever think I'll be able to do a tube scaler build.

viper? please link it


lol that T1e was one of the bodiless i was aiming to go for... it seems like its really good at recovering from its top. my BJ has issues getting back up if theres noo obstacle, just flat land.

but it could just be a matter of power for me then

I see trash talking has already started.

Matt will whoop you on the rocks, that is if he stays rubber side down.

Yeah Aaron you should try to keep the shinny side up at all time. One scratch on that body and it is no longer new.

Maybe Matt and I can help you out to break in that nice body.
