Small step again... Really need to think how to make this driver figure...

Not sure yet about colours and decoration (yes I procrastinate :-) )... But this is required anyway.

I did prepared the paint yesterday evening... But I just noticed that my black PS can was almost empty...
Image

Today, once back from work, I decided to gamble on the fact that the can content was enough to do what I need and that was the case as the end... And the can is now really empty...

Few minutes later the paint is over...

I will perhaps add a few stickers, but I really like it this way...

Some cars really need a driver , just finished it off nicely, I like it as it is as well .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

There was something missing on this car...

Added lettering on the tires, but was still unhappy...
Image

So I decided to add leds, and I designed led holders... The side one is printed in TPU, the rear one in ABS (and it relies on the same principles I already used in the past)....

It's much better with leds... But somehow this is missing a wing...

As mentioned somewhere else, I got a second Bearcat SS today...
Image

It came with a box, the original driver, a few missing bits (steering rods - but I need to check inside the box), a broken bumper... Speaking about the bumper, there is an home made one made from a metal plate (3mm thick) which is quite nicely done but very heavy...

Maybe a way to reduce the willingness of the car to go wheelie with the sbsolute power of its 540 silver can :-)

I had the TPU in the printer, ready to roll (and dried as I just printed a sample of 44B rock'n Vega Bumper), so I thought about printing a Bumper to replace the missing one for the Bearcat SS n°2.

The overhang makes it is not perfect...

But for a runner, that will do the work...
