I tell that to the wife!Keep telling yourself that! lol
Dude, I have had some 1/16 crawlers, and I wasn't having a whole lot of fun. Then I bought the SCX24 Deadbolt, and now everything has become an obstacle I want to crawl over. It is just so much fun and a very capable little rig. I definitely want to get some 1/10 scale ones, but I also want to buy a couple more of these lil guys.I recon I need to youtube RC Rock Crawling...

Well I have to admit - that too looks enjoyable. Dang-it people, now I want one of those too! What scale is popular?
Any idea for colors yet?I went and ordered a (VS4-10) Scout Pickup body for it, should be here by next Wednesday!
Most likely turquoise and black for the outside, copper for the seats, and black for the rest of the interior.Any idea for colors yet?
+1I always want to rush my paint because I always want to see it finished.

I'm getting to urge to do that as well, but the last time I did it, I nearly wrecked my paint job. I swapped the spray can caps by pure laziness and on the next coat, blue and white switched places It wasn't super noticeable, since I caught it on the first spray, but it could have been way worse.+1
........or I just put it away for months..... Sometimes years
Dude thats some really nice painting you got going on. The interior is awesome. Very niceSorry for the lack of update guys, been busy trying to get things done for the past few days, but I was able to complete the interior, and complete the last bit of painting of the exterior. At this point, I just need to wait for the paint to fully cure (needs 24 hours according to Tamiya, but I'll probably fit all the accessories and test fit at around the 12-hour mark (which is tomorrow morning), just so I can bring it on a trip to Tahoe (which is also tomorrow). Or I can wait and do it in the car or at the hotel (which might be a more interesting and probably fun option for the trip). Anyways, I'll probably decide tomorrow morning, and here are the long waited-for pictures:

Had a little bit of paint bleed through on the corners of the roof, but that's probably because the masking tape was lifting a little, but not really too noticeable. (most likely happened due to the masking tape lifting up being left on the body too long before painting; should paint right after masking, and definitely check and press down the corners of the masking tape before painting)

Painted turquoise first, then used white as a backer (so the black wouldn't darken the turquoise), and black. I ran out of black towards the end at the tailgate section, but it doesn't really affect the outside, so it looks pretty good overall!View attachment 130316
