They both look good, trying not to let the paintjobs influence my decision. I think I am leaning a bit more towards the bittydesign.

Gotta go with the Bittydesign HC-M M-Chassis Body imo

Finally mounted some LC Racing shocks. I deanodized the caps and shock collars.

Ready for paint.

 

[Doom!]

Sweeeeeet!

 

[Greywolf74]

Love it!

I'm going to try a dawn dish soap paint job, at least I think that's what it is called.

This is the only video I can find on it, it is a terrible video but gives you a general idea.

@Slick2500 That is a cool effect! hope it's as easy as it looks!

Oh yeah I have a cool idea too. I just hope it works the way I want it to. I'm just not 100% sure how long I am supposed to let the paint dry before I rinse off the soap

@Slick2500 I watched another vid after yours, he never really said how long to let it dry, but you want to get the soap off before it starts to dry. He also said to resist the urge to wipe it, just wash off the soap.

It turned out pretty good I didn't get any pictures of it before I left for the weekend.

Ya big tease! so about how long did you let it dry? Really looking forward to seeing it.

I had some family come down for the weekend and they showed up early so I didn't have a chance to get any pictures.

I hit it up with the heat gun for a minute or two then rinsed it off.

 

[Slick2500]

I turned out okay. Personally I think doing the same thing with liquid mask would achieve better looking results.

 

[Doom!]

I'd like to see it all put together.

I still have to put the stickers on and mount the wing. I'll get some more pictures once I get done.

 

[Greywolf74]

I agree with the liquid mask. Bob Dively to the rescue!

 

[Slick2500]

I need better lighting as it is so hard to get the color change effect to show on camera.
