like always.. pictures don't do it justice. The white is actually a pearl, so the whole thing has a very metallic look to it. I'm very pleased with the outcome :)

Looks great! I really like the bar across the side windows.
 
Very cool man! Nice work! I like the spear shaped designs how they overlap. Very sweet!
 
thanks fellas! This took me about 2 months to do. I know that sounds crazy but I usually only get an hour here or an hour there (when my little one is napping). I changed the layout of quite a few things in order to make it more interesting. The shape of the windshield, the side windows, the headlights and even the shape of the front end I cut out different.
 
That looks great Josh. Your tearaway looks awesome. Great shading on the bent metal. That's a tough one to get the hang of at first. And your carbon fiber is nice and clear. It's a bitch to do that on curved surfaces without it bleeding through.
 
Thanks guys! I feel pretty good about this one :thumbup: Now I gotta figure out how I'm gonna top it.. hmmm. Still got a late model body to paint.... (oh hush... yes, it's STILL clear :shrug: )
 
good enough for RCD?

I didn't have the heart to sell it so I bought another FT RC18. This little truck is fun as sh!#. I sent larger versions of these two into RCDriver. Hopefully one or both will make "showoffs" in one of the future issues.
