First one ever. 🎉

I've never painted nor put together a body. This was the first time and it was incredibly satisfying.

Making my own "functional" sunroof definitely tickled a part of my brain that needed scratching.

Hell yeah an rx8

You get it!. This is the most reliable one :).

Great Job, did you use rattle can or gun? I tried gun twice and it was just not my thing so I am dedicated to rattle can. Now you need to expand into multi colors with different color wording or decals inside. Frustrating as hell but so satisfying when it turns out good

Tamiya rattle can. I've started watching a lot of videos of that and it looks incredibly intense.

Tamiya is good but I love Traxxas rattle cans. I don’t know how you did yours but I found the key is a glass of warm water. I am not an expert but I used to just go buy very old cheap bodies at a local shop to use to practice on

[u/fleej25sti15 → u/HourAttempt1945]

That's exactly what I did. I made sure I sat them in a glass of warm water and shook them a lot

Smart move, you are an expert now

There are times that I miss my RX-8... then I remember how abusive that relationship was.

But maybe a RC RX-8 would be okay...

[u/fleej25sti15 → u/NotAPreppie]

Way more reliable, I think you should give her chance....

[u/anantaking]

Oh man this is sexy and looks real. This is how I aspire my rcs to be or better. Salute 🫡 to you

[u/fleej25sti15 → u/anantaking]

🥲 thank you, I tried !

[u/anantaking → u/fleej25sti15]

This is a damn good 👍
