My Brat Hard Shell is at long last finished. I Have had a friend been doing this paint job for only 2 yrs. LOL He is always on the podium at state and National level with his static models. Awesome i think.

This is for my shelf. Body that is..

The shine on that is great! I did one "Brat" and had to strip it, I was so pissed with my poor work! It still sits in the box unpainted! :x Damn I hate painting, but you make it look easy!

Nice track! Where is that located? I love the soil and the fact that I don't see any big jumps! These retarded supercross style tracks these days suck ballz!

I like that paint job. The bare foil around the bed is really nice.

Thanks Guys.

The metal foil work is just unreal i think too Shodog . Nearly to your standard.????

Slotcarrod i wish i can paint . I'm a single paint can wonder LOL; Track is Boondal here in Brisbane. Soil is loose and rough. We have had a working be last week so hope it will be better. Track lay out is a copy of the Tamiya test track in the 80's. What is in there guide book. Very open &Fast with a small jump. A little small for me. My latest Tamiya should like it.

I have since bought another "Hard" shell complete of e bay for a runner that i will paint. There is something about the hard shell i think.

Lowgear i agree the decals are really hard to apply . I didn't do this one but did the lexan shell. They don't line up well. I asked him did he use the dish water & soap trick and said no just stuck them on. I couldn't do it without Dish water.

The shine is the polish he put on. Paint is Tamiya Spray.


This job would will cost me i tell you.
