My Rubicon body for the HPI Challenge

[NCNitro]

This is the body I will be running at the HPI Challenge in Orlando at the end of the month. I think it came out pretty cool, it looks much better in person, it's really hard to see the shading in the pics. I would do a few things different if I were to do it again.

[ZANDOR]

Wow between you and IB very nice.. How did you get the pin striping so clean??? and the dots?? Are they decals..And if so.
Were can I pick up some steady hands to do it!!!!

 

[sweetdiesel]

How do you have the time to make so many rockin lids? Great work!!

 

[Buggyracer28]

Wow thats really cool! I think ill try that on some parts of my buggy body if i can learn how to do it! i think it looks sick!

Looks good! Youll have to tell me how ya get the carbon fiber so clean. Whenever I do mine, it turns out fuzy. And yours is some of the cleanest I've seen. (If its painted) Nice lid!

 

[NCNitro]

The lines were done with one of Lesens favorite products, lol, Pactra 1/16 detail tape. The dots in the corners were all hand painted. And for the carbon fiber, I cheated, its a decal. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Good job Joe. I like it. I was close to doing that to my GT-1 the other night as a matter of fact. But I didn't have any pinstriping tape and didn't feel like taking all that time. Perhaps my next one. Love that look.

 

[supercharged]

if i had done it i would have drawn the lines with permanent marker and painted over it

Does that work? I was gonna do that with my brothers lightning body, but he decided that he wanted the base paint to be black... I had the lines drawn already too... I'm gonna try that when i get a new body.

I like it, Nice detail. I really need how to mask better.
