The Big RCNT "Paint Off" Competition

[vbgagnon]

So how are we going to do the voting?

I say make a new thread with a poll to vote. No comments just votes.

 

[Buggyracer28]

Thats a great idea.... just divide the poll into the different categories, and list each participant. (if you can do that with the polls)

 

[Revo Rancher]

Would be nice to do it on a "blind" vote, too. Just post a pic and category and then vote. Mods post pic so sender is unknown.

 

[digger]

Got the camera going so here are a some pics.
May try to add a couple later.
Someone let me know if the "RCNITROTALK.COM" isn't big enough. (It's on the windshield.) I'll put something else on it if I need to.


Good luck everyone.

Hey dig, that looks pretty good! Airbrush or can?

 

[digger]

Thanks Candyman. It was airbrush.
Pactra paint, except for the Spax-Stix on the front. My second time with it.

Hey Dig,

Great Job man! That lid looks sweet. You will fair much better than the WTF category, thats for sure. If you hadn't said this was your second time with an airbrush I would not have known. Great job! I am now very self concious of posting my lid now. Take care my friend.

yea i like the "blind" idea... just pics of bodys, no usernames. but the pics posted in this thread would kinda defeat that.

 

[Monkey Wrench]

Digger, wow man! That's a terrific looking lid! Good luck in the voting!

 

[Lessen]

why the hell did I insist on doing a 1/18. Holy crap it's hard to get into this thing.... hehe

 

[Mr T-Maxx]

Sweet Job, Digger!!

I really like the chrome!

Nice Job,

Mr T

 

[Lessen]

One of these days I'm gonna try to do some chrome.. looks sooo cool.

Nice job on the symmetry Digger. Good show!

Well, It's 8:30 and I'm finally about to start spraying paint...

 

[digger]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm not much on being able to come up with a paint scheme.... I'm glad to have it finished. Got a plane to paint on now....

The chrome Spaz-Stix sprayed real nice. First time I have used it. I made one hell of a mess putting it in the bottle that came with my airbrush though. (The lids are too big to put on the bottle.) They make some lids for them, but I didn't know that when I ordered.

Lessen, the first time I used my airbrush was a mini-t body. Was a pain in the ass to get in there. Good luck with it.

Good luck to everyone. Thanks again for the kind words. It means a lot coming from you guys.

Great job digger! The chrome came out awesome!

 

[Monkey Wrench]

Wait, that chrome on the grill is paint? I thought it was a decal or something! Man Digger, what an awesome job! And you thought it would suck? Geez, makes my body look like something I did with finger paint!

 

[NCNitro]

makes my body look like something I did with finger paint!

it wasn't ?

 

[Monkey Wrench]

No, isn't that sad?

 

[Lessen]

coming up on 1 day left.... looks like there will be quite a few quite a few last minute entries. I know I'm one of them, painting right now.

who all still needs to post?

 

[NCNitro]

I have mine done and ready to post, but whoever is running this show needs to let us know if we are posting here or starting a new thread just for the pics???

 

[RatzoRC]

I'll make a new thread.
Thanks
