Well, it's finally done. I have been painting the body of my shelfer with the no name Novak for her new owner. It still needs a little tweaking, she is not perfect. But this has been a fun project. I hope you all like it.
Erich, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed building it.

I thought you unloaded that "work of perfection" on epay months ago. How did it work that you kept it and painted a body for it too? Did the buyer pay extra?
Very nice work though. I dont think you could have created a more perfect example.

Things went south on eBay. As the lead bidder pulled out, the second in command went another route and had to forfeit the lead. It was a real ;...(
Erich made me a very nice offer, so I took it. And I charged him $20 to paint the body
Before anyone asks, I will do another and no I will not do it for $20
Thanks for the compliments JP.

BTracer wrote:The single best replica paint job I have seen yet What shade did you use for the main body?
Thanks to you all for the wonderful compliments. I appreciate them very much.
BTracer, I use all Parma paints with the excepting of a couple Creatix mixes I have made. The main body was done with Fasorange #40007 straight from the bottle. It is a little darker than the box car. Next car, I will add a touch of white to lighten it up some and probably back it with white once it is painted. Could be a mistake, but that is how I learn.

Thanks for the compliment Psy. I had been using Blazing Saddle quotes for years on all the boards I use to frequent. I thought it was a time for a change. The Avatar is next. Maybe I'll build an avatar (dramatic pause) out of a Deloreon.

This is project Queen No Name. She got her name because of the ESC. It is the no name Novak Bob and the crew use to refer to as The Novak. First ESC Novak ever made but the time line still does not show it. Charlie from Novak told me they were going...

Truth in jest Richie? :lol:
But you know what, I would rather build a custom machine than try to replicate one. They look great on the shelf, no doubt. But anyone can build a box art car.
It takes someone special to do Technicolor Vomit :lol:...
I picked this up just recently. Did not expect the guy to accept my price, but here it is. It was an impulse buy for certain.

Built to run in my opinion. these things are selling for alot on ebay right now. Cant seem to understand why that is. lol! Especially when I picked one up a couple years ago for $75 shipped.
Here is some pics of my shelf queen. I have owned her from new. To give you a little history, My mom and dad bought the car when I was a kid and built it, we ran it very little. It was never raced and has spent most of its life in boxes. It is and...

You say the 80's had one hit music??? Have you listened to music lately?? :lol:
I got this and my only 10t both close to roller status for $40 on epay a few years ago. Pretty good deal as both chassis and parts were near mint. I built up the gold tub box stock with like new parts, ran a few times on clay and then put it on the...
I got a perfect early JRX-2 from a member here and after receiving it I cleaned the dust off, the shock shafts ( love that old Losi water based shock fluid ) and it seemed odd that this car was built in 89' then never touched. The one key might be...

I have a couple rc10t2 without tranny gears or axles. I suspect that someone had a GT, and took a couple parts from the t2 to fix their GT and then the t2 sat untouched. One of these t2 i bought on ebay, the owner said he bought it at a vintage...
