FMS Max Smasher V2 Initial Thoughts and Paint

Another trick to prevent bleeding, is to lay down a coat of clear first. if it bleeds under, it is clear and you won't see it. Then when you paint your color, it won't bleed under, because the clear is already there.

Ya know, I had heard that trick before, years ago, and completely forgot about that!

Why didn't you speak up sooner? Just like @WickedFog hiding the sticky tack body post finder. Anything other tricks hidden?

Info like that gets buried under mountains of Twinkie wrappers, dead brain cells, and episodes of Deadliest Catch. It only gets remembered when something shuffles the pile around

So being I have a new body on the way I just went nuts with this one. Started sanding and it started to have a weathered look. Put it back together and it kinda has a cool look to me so I'll do a little more sanding and call it done.

It’s a resto mod now. You could practice doing some rust techniques.

Because my brain is so filled with crap, it takes a while for some of this stuff to bubble back up to the surface.

Was going for this look. I wish they offered non-portal axles.
My next will be all MT. (my wife would leave me if she knew what this truck does to me)

If I ever win the lottery, I’m gonna buy a fleet of late 70’s F series and Bronco’s!
I’ll probably need an old stadium to house them all..

If anyone is looking to buy a Smasher, helidirect.com has them on sale. If you're a first time customer you get $15 off too, bringing the total to $116.99. I ordered on Tuesday and it was at my door the next day via UPS (free shipping too). They are close to me, but their processing time is super quick.

@Doom! just got his SCX6. I bet his focus is glued to that one right now. However, @Xraycer, @Greywolf74, and @Tunedpipe could use a little push over the edge

 

[Hammer Down]

It's $116.99. That's like 3 or 4 doordash orders for you. Just eat tuna sammiches for a couple days and you'll never know the difference
